I always assumed when you bought overnight shipping, the FedEx location descended into total chaos and some guy sprinted into the room, grabbed the package, boarded a jet, and raced to the destination before chucking the package out the window with a parachute attached to it. Then a fedex driver on the ground would retrieve it and place it on the front porch.

Yup! That’s why I’m here!
Total idiot
😂😂😂😂
How overnight shipping works:
1. Nighttime comes.
2. Package is shipped.
best summary
like santa :D
3. Daylight comes
4. Package is delivered
5. Receiver struggles to find it in front porch for three days.......
Jimmy Kim lmao

Worked at the Memphis Hub for awhile.. I worked specifically in Heavy Weight, anything over 150 lbs was handled in my area, the size of 4 football fields, ran by over 2000 forklifts. The Memphis world hub is absolutely mind blowing. Planes come in every less 2 minutes on a normal day, spread throughout the sky by 3 miles and run like clockwork. It's amazing to see
Were you with FedEx?
What was the pay?
Ex Boston heavy weight truck driver here. Memphis heavyweight must have been insane.
Most people in my city work there too.
Am I the only one who comes back to watch this video whenever I'm aggressively tracking a package?
LOL, I def purchased something overnight delivery today
Same lol. I almost wish he went a little deeper and showed exactly where you’re package is when it was “picked up by the carrier.” Like does that mean it was picked up and is on the way? Does it mean it was picked up but isn’t on the way yet? I just want to know exactly where my package is 😭
Nope me too it's my first time 😅😊
I’m here waiting for my OUT FOR DELIVERY🤣
Yes. Yes you are. You are all alone.
You want to know why your package arrived late? Look at 10:09...
Package stuck.
They have people who catch it on camera, then this is where high tech comes in, the get a really long stick, and poke it back onto the belt.

As a FedEx truck driver, I STRONGLY recommend you use a package pickup location rather than home delivery. As states in the video, sometimes theres not enough Freight to warrant sending a truck or plane. However pickup locations act as collection points, which means they might just have enough Freight for regular service.
Pickup locations are usually cheaper, quicker, and in an age of porch pirates, safer overall.

@@herisruns that's why he said it's cheaper and faster. His job being easier is cheaper and faster for you. Win-win.

I legit thought that eBay guys were straight up bullshitting me when they said my packages had been dispatched at like 2am.

Not someone I thought I would see on this kind of video but alright
I promise, it's not that advanced. I work for DHL Express in Canada. The entire system is a fucking joke. How we're still afloat is beyond me.

Cyranek look up Morpheus network on TH-cam...a hidden gem.....
As a UPS worker, this is 100% accurate. Overnight shipping used to be logitstics hell, but as more automation comes into play, it has gotten far easier.
has anyone ever got fired for taking all the packages for themselves? Personally me I’d be so curious and rip open ever single packages
Jötunn i also work foe ups
I work for XPO, we're better than you...
Currently working for an Australian company (which will remain unnamed but its in the top three) and yeah seen a few guys arrested at the depot for taxing phones. Few years ago we use to get boxes of bulk cookies for a Cafe chain and they were "accidentally" broken open quite often.
Oh Vine
That is very illegal in the US (probably the same everywhere else)... if you're caught stealing or opening packages that doesn't belong to you, getting fired will be the least of your worries.
Just amazing to think how much time these companies might have spent to calculate out their finances so that they become profitable inspite of running so many planes, trucks, airport dues, fuel dues, employee salaries and many other costs
Tyke Monster exactly its amazing!
Tyke Monster I mean it goes hand and hand with e-commerce.
And to think how much they only charge you for a single shipment.
remember that they did not start out by calculating all of this and the setting it up, they started out small a long time ago and grew into this size, so all the calculation came in small steps: at first just" can we add a truck here, and there" then probably deciding that one plane is good for expanding, expanding more and more untill they are so big that they had a fleet of aircraft and even building an airport wanst a big risk anymore, and all the way every single profitable investment adds up while the wrong decisions get cut out. In the end you have something giant, hugely complex, extremely difficult to understand but working.
BTW If you want to experience this effect yourself, you can. In the game Factorio.
Well it would be just like building a faster car, or building a home studio. It’s small steps. Not just one huge one. And they also go by what has worked for another companies.

I’ve worked at the UPS hub in Louisville for 11 years and this is the most accurate video of how it all works I’ve seen.
My critical package UPS overnight from North Carolina to NY city is screwed up by UPS.
My destination ( 30 miles from NY times square) is not in areas affected by inclement weather as per UPS . I booked it on Friday morning from North Carolina and it reached Philadelphia on Saturday and was just 124 miles from its destination in NYC . Sunday and Monday being Christmas there was no update. On Tuesday morning when it was supposed to reach NYC , I see the UPS' 'great routing technology ' ensured it unnecessarily took a south west turn to Louisville Kentucky instead of going north to NY city . Kentucky is at the heart of inclement weather conditions and my package is delayed and is now more than 600 miles from its destination.
I don't know what to say.
Such a stupid route planning when they say guaranteed delivery ?
I won't accept it is due to the bad weather. This package seems to have been mindlessly routed to an area of severe weather conditions (inspite of best forecast available to them) and that too farther away from its destination.
That UPS landing at 1:10 is sexy af. The reversers were going before the front landing gear was even down.
I was thinking the same, I was like please don't cut please don't cut I am sure the font wheels won't bounce on this one. and CUT (we will never know now).
REVO_MOVO the wheels would've landed like fucking butter
I've been watching lots of airliner take offs and landings this past week. I've noticed the nose gear JUST DOESN'T WANT to touch the runway! Even after reverse thrust is applied, it's like the nosegear is saying NO PLEASE, JUST A LITTLE BIT LONGER! I DON'T WANT TO TOUCH THAT RUNWAY! Also, during take off roll the nose gear is fighting to lift up, something I already knew about, but it's interesting to watch the PIC forcing it down until he or she rotates.
The real question is how can these companies do this, but airlines can't get people's luggage to the right place?
strangersound for real everytime i go anywhere they always loose my luggage
Imagine if Spirit Ailrlines or Jet Blue could afford an autonomous sorting system like Fedex'? They wouldn't be as cheap. Humans handle it, so luggage delivery is doom to be inefficient
What percentage of luggage gets lost?
because if fed-ex fuck up their packages, they loose thousands of dollars.
^ I've worked at Fedex and this is exactly the reason lol. You fuck up and leave those packages on a plane or a trailer, you get the big "F" for "Fired" because that's a few thousand dollars flying/driving away.

FedEx Hub employee here. Very well put, great job. The operation at MEM is awe inspiring watching a line of FedEx aircraft fly over my neighborhood.
You need to visit Louisville. This video was annoying that he kept calling Louisville a "small city" and he was seriously wrong about the number of nightly UPS airplanes visiting the WORLD HUB at Louisville. It is around 400 planes, not the number he stated (incorrectly).

Louisville is a small city. Comparative to other metro centers, Louisville ranks 43rd in the US.
Sorry but the Louisville operation is small compared to Memphis. UPS is a trucking company that owns planes. FedEx is an airline that owns trucks. The FedEx plane going to Louisville will return during the day for a day sort operation. The UPS plane going to Memphis will sit during the day because a truck is going to go to Louisville for its 2nd Day Air packages.
SciGuy yea I live in Memphis and constant planes fly over my house
Brennan Callan yea Memphis is far from a small city. Now it’s not absolutely huge but it’s definitely a big city and far from a small city
Yeah, everything goes smoothly right until your plane crashes and you wash up on a desert island and have to talk to a damn volley ball for several years.

It’s gonna take a Herculean effort even for Amazon to compete with FedEx and UPS....those companies are massive, experts at shipping, AND hyperfocused on ONE thing. Shipping is 1 of 1,000 things Amazon tries to do.
@@33moneyball But Amazon has a potential captive market. Get enough capacity and they can become the sole shipper of their own sales.
@@33moneyball not to mention amazon outsources their prime shipping to ups. they probably have a contract or something
I used to work for DHL in Hawaii, FedEx and Ups fly planes from Hawaii with mail and pineapple as there is not enough outbound freight. We never use or own planes, but shipped with comerical airlines, which adds another level of complexity to getting shipments delivered on time.

I always say the large shipping companies like UPS and FedEx are great at getting packages around the world in hours, but that last few km within the city can take a week because if you're a residential address they just don't care and/or are too busy to wait the 30 seconds it takes you to get to the door. So, if you're lucky they 'drop' the package at the door so it can get stolen, or more likely they slap a 'we tried, but you didn't answer the door in 3.2 seconds' paper notice (and maybe one more duplicate the next day) asking that you pick up your parcel all the way across the city.
If you're a business, with a receptionist, it tends to work better.
If you're a residential customer, the shippers excel at delivery of post it notes on doors... packages not so much.
It depends on what you pay for. If you choose overnight at 9:30 am guaranteed and your package arrives at 9:31 you can get a refund. If you select the cheapest then you will get it at "expected delivery window"
Fedex like to give mine to one of my neighborhoods. Guess he doesn't bother with GPS, or read the side of the mailbox, or plaque beside driveway....

As a person from Edinburgh, I appreciate your constant references to our small city :)
This is how things really work...
Being a former Industrial Engineer at UPS, and specifically having one assignment working in the Air for a period of time, I can tell you the overnight process begins well before anyone's asleep.
Your analysis of FedEx being the largest air cargo carrier based on the size of their aircraft fleet is flawed. Those figures include small aircraft owned by FedEx. UPS operates chartered small aircraft well in excess of the FedEx fleet. It's cheaper to pay high charter fees than incur the maintenance costs associated with those aircraft, and not having full time employees who only work/fly a few hours per day, not to mention their healthcare expenses. (Don't tell FedEx this)!
I can specifically tell you why FedEx and UPS are located in Memphis and Louisville. It's based on time zones only. The East Coast aircraft are the first to arrive and the last to depart. The West Coast aircraft are last to arrive, but the first aircraft to depart. They travel much greater distances, hence they must depart first, plus your gaining time heading West, but losing time heading East. Common sense, right?
From the West Coast only East Coast destination packages flow East. West coast destination packages flow to the West Coast hubs. Jet fuel and engine reserves are very expensive. Why fly more weight and cube than you have to? You got that one right! You also got the sorting in Anchorage right to! (Engine reserves? - The total hours you can fly an engine before maintenance and heavy maintenance is required).
The day sorting you referred to as day sorts is for Second Day Air and Three Day Select. Why? Again time. Those packages are not as time sensitive as overnight packages, hence you can fly less aircraft and larger aircraft which can make multiple stops on the way to Louisville and Memphis.
Most people may be interested to know very few Three Day Select packages actually fly. Once again, time. Most can be ground fed directly to ground hubs that service their final destination. When I was in Louisville I noticed several large air containers sitting on the ramp. When I inquired as to why those air containers were sitting there, the response was, "That's Three Day Select, aging".
No, no, no, on buying older aircraft. Yes they do purchase older aircraft, but they're not less efficient. For years UPS operated a very old fleet of DC-8's, however these aircraft were rebuilt for structural integrity, and here's what you missed, they were all fitted with modern day Rolls Royce engines. Quiet and very fuel efficient. We laughed on the ramp at DHL and Burlington back in the day.
Overall I would say your research was pretty darn good!
You're more than welcome. It's so interesting learning new things that happen away from public view.
I really love these type of ''DLC'' comments as I usually call them on videos such as these. More often than not on videos with a lot of hits, there is some insider who has the juicy details the content creator often overlooks or can't even find.
edit: wish the general top comments would be these compared to low tier joke top comments such as ''All I could think of was the movie castaway''

I'd like a flat earth believer to try and set up shipping routes.
Eddie a flat earth believer would probably never even have close to half a mil 💲 ( unless they inherited
That whole “taking the earths curvature into consideration” would really fuck them up.
even with flat earth, flying through alaska is most direct route from america to japan. im not a flat earth believer, just sayin. its the southern hemisphere that gets messed up since it would be on the outer part of the disc
Sir I'll have you know we have a theory. you fly under the earth. LOL no
I don't get the flat Earth people, either, but then again, there is an astounding number of people (like the narrator of this video) who use the phrase, "across the world," instead of the clearly more correct, "around the world." Maybe there are more flat-Earthers in our midst than we realize!
Isn't it comforting to know people are flying giant cargo planes just for us, driving those little vans just for us, scanning those packages just for us, every single night, I find it comforting knowing people are caring for us while we sleep, my hereos 🕊️

Fred Smith, wrote paper as an undergraduate student at Yale on the business model of the company he founded. He was given a C on that paper. Oh, and by the way, that company he founded was Federal Express.
@ PACE ARROW
I believe it's the other way around, the folks near the bottom of the graduation rankings pursue teaching and government careers.
@PACE ARROW that almost never happens, but you hear more about that kind of cases because, well they're rare and make a good story/news. I
Statistically speaking what PACE ARROW is addressing is business starting entrepreneurs which by in large (due to personality) tend to be non "A" students (their are many exceptions to this rule ... make no mistake). These entrepreneurs however make up a very small percentage of "C" students so on average "A" students do fair better in life (most "C" students long term fair less well financially than "A" students). This tends to be due to the fact that an "A" student (again overly generalizing here) by in large tends to be more of a rule follower and work better in a structured system whereas the personality traits of an entrepreneur tend to be more maverick thinking and thus the conformity of a ridged educational system (or corporate hierarchy) does not suit them as well begating not performing as well.
As for the argument of where teachers and government employees come from that is a fairly easy thing to decipher. By in large educators have a tendency to have been very good students in their field (although not necessarily in other fields) which means yes they tend to be "A" students particularly in fields where a graduate degree is required to teach, simply put "C" students don't get into graduate school until all the "A" and "B" student applicants get a spot so very few "C" students are able to even apply for these positions as a teacher. Government employees are a weirder bag, they tend to be the best applicant for the pool the position hires from strictly based on the skills required for the job. Governments can not and do not hire based on subjective things like character or cultural fit. This makes for some very weird working environments, policies and co-workers. The employees of the government are subjectively the best by the book thus tend to be "A" students in the fields they applied for, the environment they are placed in doesn't usually showcase them well at all however.
Yeah nigga we know that story
Gotta give it up to the Americans. That logistical organisation is exemplary. Double thumbs up to the companies
This makes since when it comes to Santa Claus if you think of it. They may have just proved that Santa could be real😭😭😭
this is literal clock work and it’s awesome
Wendover puts a good feeling into how FedEx reliably tranfers cargo overnight. FedEx started from just a simple term paper handed in by the undergraduate Frederick Smith in 1965. His proposal was said to be revolutionary in time-saving delivering technology but his prof didnt realize this and just gave him an average grade for it. Now, the guys a money-maker!
I work with UPS. And it is amazing how they reach any part of the world in a day. Usually Air comes into our truck warehouse around 8:00am. Our drivers are out of there usually around 8:45 and have to get the air packages to the address by Noon.
Larkin Jackson i was almost certain he was going to talk about the new nonstop Dubai flight thats starting up
UPS does not reach anywhere in the world in one day... I think it was a 3-4 day minimum at their fastest service from Canada to Australia. Which is understandable. Fedex was the same, DHL a day faster.
Wow that’s amazing!! I never really knew how all this shipping took place. Really is a brilliant system
Omg I loved this! Such useful and mindblowing information. The strategic placement of the superhub is just so smart wow!
Weird, my experience has always been that UPS tries to deliver my packages the exact second I step out. It's crazy how many gears need to turn perfectly for that to happen, but UPS has it down pat.
Lol 😂
Dante 😂
Sure, they can deliver across the world within hours, but they can't fucking deliver locally within 5 days 😂😂
once drones become efficient enough, they could get them to fly it directly to your door. ;D
but there is a slight problem with the drone part, some jack asses in the world sees drone they think "oooo how can i falsify a "drone attack" out of the person" or shoot the drone down and steal the package
As far as someone attempting to shoot down/ steal the package, there are camera's for that.
laws that would render that a felony.
Containers that could have tracking devices, alert sensors, and anti theft locks that would make it hard to remove the package without authorization.
the theft rate on the drone packages likely would not be any higher than people swiping a package left at your front door.
i am sure a handful of idiotic minorities who attempts doing that will be arrested all the while whining for a lawyer, a case of at first theft rate is average but quickly drop out, so quick we might forget about it, but i am just being skeptic because i rather not loose a package i spent like $60 on and suddenly it didnt arrive on the day it was suppose to and i was given a call that hey its on its way, but if i ordered a game that i pre ordered and it had bonuses that is ONLY AVAILABLE on a certain date
BUT i am gonna stop as that is unneccesary bantering
They probably can, you just gotta pay more.
“Time is Money”
Ging Ging: Gets **LOADS** of cloc-
This is honestly so mind-boggling. Like all these airplanes and airports and strategies that have been tweaked and relatively perfected to somehow get packages from A to B in ~12 hours. Country to country even. So much money and planning. Like how did they figure this all out, and how much money is spent to build these airports/facilities?? I have so many questions lmfao
12 hours? more like less then that. take a first over night package once the sort ends say at 925 at night that said package is then brought to the AP by truck loaded on a plane then flies to Memphis of its hub then picked up by a courier at 4in the morning to be delivered by 9am bare in mind that plane doesn't leave till after 1030 at night. its even better when it goes to another country. you have no idea what time constraint is and while all the arm chair youtube QB's bitch moan and cry they don't realize how closely time matters. 1 minute is huge in their world
Tt Ss i have no idea what youre talking about but you sound super smart tho man😉👍👍
I had a hard time understanding this. A lot of it _wendover_ my head.
*shakes head* SHAME!!
*slow clap*
😂😂
Ba dum tss
delet tis
FedEx and UPS are merging and thy are going to call it Fedup shipping
LOL
fedups?
Paul Bbr you try👏👏👏
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
I'd love to see a video done on usps's efficiency... I was waiting in line for 15 minutes just to get my overflow mail. One person behind the counter, another walking around asking people if they are paying with a credit card and if they were escorting them to the self service machine. In the time it took her to do that with people and walk them through it all she could of simply waited on probably twice as many people.
Mind blowing amount of info,
Just what I was looking for, to help towards my research
if you're watching this, then you're probably waiting for a package
I am
yup lmao
Yes. It takes more than 5 days now so I am watching this again.
Your not wrong
Im waiting for a package from china and i live in norway, takes a while of course....but hey, now i know how much hard work they put in day and night and what i could at least do is appreciate their efforts :)
Even DPRK? i'm impressed DHL
How else do you think Lil' Kim gets his western goods that allow him to live a life of luxury?
will they deliver it to Lil' Kim's door?
Mr. Shlock Can you proof this outrageous claim?
So it's just bull shit you've made up, or can you cite a reliable secondary source (wikipedia style) to proof your ludicrous claim at least holds some merit and isn't just taken out of thin air? As happens in civil discussions, the person who makes an unbelievable claim should cite the source, that's your job, I'm not going to do your job for you as the likelyhood of me wasting time (if the claim is fake) is too big. Since you know if your claim is either true or false, you have one of two ethical things to do:
1. Admit that it's false, if it's false
or
2. Cite a reliable secondary source as evidence that it isn't false, if (you think) it isn't false

Not one single person here searched for this video.
I did.
@@chrism6904 same
i did
I'm actually waiting for a package today (Tuesday), and I was wondering how my package traveled three provinces to get to my province within 24 hrs.
I did
Super cool to see N908FX in the video. Those ATR42’s and 72’s are such a satisfying airframe to work on.
Saw an unknown logo an a 2O minute video about overnight delivery. Almost skipped it until I realized it was wendover.
theMcWOPPER 11:14 is twenty now?
Why do I need a username? You dont watch all videoes 2times?
Same almost skipped it

For quick delivery of packages under two pounds, FedEx is your guy; For bulk packages going to Europe, Middle East or major Asian cities, UPS is there for you! To get any package to any nook & cranny of this planet, DHL will deliver. Globalization has made that possible.
magellanmax
If it’s fragile, FedEx is defo your guy
Its not globalization. It’s just capitalism and trade. Globalization is entirely different.
I live in a small town in Nevada. Every few years, I'll order an official Ferrari team t-shirt that has to ship from England. DHL gets it to me. Then I spend the next few years saying, "Oi! This t-shirt cost me thirty quid with the shipping". It's fun for me. I'm a little weird.
That seems a little too simplistic (and overly positive sounding) definition for globalization. Here's the definition from Merriam Webster:
Definition of globalization
: the act or process of globalizing : the state of being globalized; especially : the development of an increasingly integrated global economy marked especially by free trade, free flow of capital, and the tapping of cheaper foreign labor markets
FedEx is a stick. UPS is a hammer. DHL is a scalpel.
i watch this video each time i send something in the mail
Okay, but this is so insanely cool. I love learning this kind of stuff.
why are people disliking a video on how over night shipping works lmfao whats offending you? lol
DFobs666 From some of the threads I’ve read it is because they are mad that humans are destroying the earth to advance civilization. Whatever.. one even said he wanted to go back to the “farming age”. He can enjoy sickness and death as well as no modern amenities!
Just A Regular Guy
I hear there’s a civilization that hasn’t discovered fire. Let’s shove everyone like that on that island and see how they deal with it.
Krazy’s Shenanigans Yeah it's North Sentinel Island in the Sentinelles Archipelago in the Indian Ocean.
There are barely any dislikes on this video. Don't think of a few dislikes, such as 1 dislike for every 50 likes as meaning something's wrong with the video. Most videos with a lot of views will have at least some dislikes, even if you don't think there's anything wrong with the video.
I disliked it because I hate the guy's voice. He sounds like a clickbait article title. "YOU'LL NEVER BELIEVE THE STAGGERING TRUTH ABOUT...."
Plane productions is back!!
Are*
Grammar Nazi is was correct in this case i think
Christophe "productions" is plural. "Is" for singular, "are" is for plural. Basic elementary grammar.
Grammar Nazi We do not care.
Grammar Nazi sorry bro I am not a native speaker, anyway, in my way of thinking in this case is correct, because We are talking about a brand, and it’s a single one. Eg: yo don’t say “Mc Donald’s are opening a restaurant”, you say “Mc Donald’s is opening a restaurant”. If by any chance I am wrong, I am Canadians levels of sorry for offending you.
You are totally correct! I just ordered a Razer Phone 2, and apparently it is coming from Honk Kong and it's first destination in the U.S was Memphis, Tennessee!
Me: * Heard FedEx *
*Instantly relate it to Tom Hanks' Cast Away*
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing. Admittedly, I've never put much thought into the logistics behind routing and shipping operations. But after watching this video; I'm actually amazed at how this whole process works. Using cheap older airbus planes to cut costs, using more expensive and advanced airplanes for longer trips to save money on fuel, the multiple hubs throughout the country, using larger and smaller aircrafts, everything becoming automated. Interesting, indeed.

I'll put it on the tab at Harry's.

davefan16 yeah well I do
Just makes me appreciate the work being done by this freight forwarding companies
I've had a package that went from Tempe AZ to Memphis, and then back to Seattle. It took 3 days to get from Tempe to Memphis, but less than 36 hours to get to Seattle.
Same, mines was in Alabama & went back to Cali, then came back to Alabama
New logo nioce! ;D
Ya know... I've always wondered but never bothered to find out. Thanks for sharing =p
Anita Star Jesus, it's common sense! You're joking?
What is she referring to?
That's literally the point behind this channel, Vsauce, etc.
This video was much more fascinating than i expected it to be
