Twenty five thousand sea turtle eggs, a rhino and a Black Hawk helicopter: is there anything FedEx won't deliver? The list of bizarre items transported by the courier service grows longer every year, with the latest addition being breast milk for Sir Elton John's son Zachary. The singer explained last weekend that he has milk FedExed over from the surrogate mother. Intrigued, we asked what the company might deliver for us:
First, a lung? "FedEx does provide shipments for medical institutions and the health care industry."
A coffin? "We can do that, unoccupied of course."
A sandwich? "If someone wants to pay to ship a sandwich, we can do that."
A caravan? "If a shipper needs service to transport some, if not all, parts of a caravan we can work with them."
A missile? "I can't answer that because we do have some items prohibited for shipment."
This they do. Among them "packages that emit an odour of any kind" and "dead animals or animals that have been mounted". Glad that's sorted.
