This is the same company that couldn't deliver a tape to the Goddard Modelling and Simulation Facility Because there was no street address. Maybe it's changed, but at the time the Goddard Space Flight Center had building numbers and didn't have street addresses. They were probably the only company in the DC metropolitan area that didn't know how to find Goddard.

FedEx are closing all of their data centers and moving to Microsofts Azure Cloud. They are a massive mainframe customer and close friends of ours for a long time.
