DOES IT ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY HAVE TO BE THERE OVERNIGHT?

FedEx has begun parcel service to Iraq for the first time.

The Memphis-based package delivery service is using its Middle East partner, Falcon Express.

Falcon began pickups and deliveries for business customers in Baghdad, Basra and Mosul last week, but waited until Monday to announce the new service.

The service is using local employees wearing FedEx uniforms.

Falcon Express is based in the United Arab Emirates.

Falcon also picks up and delivers for FedEx in Jordan, Lebanon, Qatar, Syria and Yemen.
