FedEx has only itself to blame for loss of trust from customers

A company prefers, of course, to be above reproach. But, failing that, the next best thing is unquestionably to get rid of the body, for it is being found with it wrapped in the carpet that brings remorse and the loss of trust from its customers.

Which is the position FedEx finds itself in now.

It has claimed that it misdirected three of Chinese telecommunications giant Huawei's packages to the United States in May due to what it called "operational error".
