If another hurricane cuts off the East End as Hurricane Fabian did last September, East Enders will be able to boast to the rest of the Island of still having not only an Airport but now FedEx Express shipping, too.

The popular Caff? Latte of St. George?s is the East End?s first FedEx Express shipcentre, offering a comprehensive spread of FedEx services in addition to your daily cappuccino.

Caff? Latte (Bermuda) Ltd. offers FedEx International Priority service to more than 210 countries world-wide, according to a Press release.

Mayor of St. George?s and owner of Caff? Latte Michael Jones told : ?I think this is going to be a wonderful opportunity for the community to have.

?They?ll be able to come down here, have their packages sent off and, if they need to, have FedEx drop their packages off here, too.?

Mr. Jones explained: ?Many East Enders don?t get home until much after five, but they can come down here anytime to pick something up or drop it off since we?re open seven days a week.?

In addition to coffee and now FedEx services, Caff? Latte serves sandwiches and other cafe-type foods as well as being a cyber-cafe.

Mr. Jones said: ?Caff? Latte is a real home-type place.

?For years, sailors and visitors who don?t have an address on the island have been able to have packages delivered here that they pick up later on.?

?We?re a community-based place, and many of the cruise ship passengers and crew call this home while they?re in St. George?s - sitting on the porch, relaxing and enjoying a coffee.?

Caff? Latte is the fourth FedEx drop-off location in Bermuda, joining a network of more than 360 FedEx Authorised ShipCentres (FASCs) throughout Latin America and the Caribbean. Qualified FedEx personnel staff all shipcentres in order to best assist customers and answer questions regarding FedEx shipping options, costs and tracking.

Also available at Caff? Latte is FedEx International First Service for delivery before 8.30 am to thousands of US zipcodes. Both this service and International Priority service are backed by the FedEx Money Back Guarantee.

FedEx Express plans to further expand its network throughout Bermuda with more FASCs in the future.
