Delivery Facts

There's a pizza company in Alaska called 'Airport Pizza' that delivers by plane to remote villages. Based in Nome, they fly pizzas to communities with no road access, with delivery sometimes included for bulk orders to nearby villages.

In 2011, an elderly woman from Memphis who ordered pizza everyday for 3 years straight was saved by a delivery woman when she failed to place an order for 3 days.

FedEx was days from collapse. $5,000 left in the bank. Founder Fred Smith flew to Las Vegas and bet it all at blackjack. By morning he had $32,000. Just enough to keep the planes flying one more week. In that week, he closed an $11 million deal. FedEx now makes over $90 billion a year.
