Fourth FedEx drop-off opens in Susupe

Island Best Choice has officially opened Saipan’s fourth FedEx drop-off at the heart of Susupe.

Conveniently located at the ground floor of the Marianas Business Plaza, the new Island Best Choice FedEx drop-off is already anticipating good business now that it is ready to serve the community.

The three other FedEx locations are Mita Travel FedEx in Garapan, Century Travel FedEx in Garapan, and CTSI Logistics FedEx in Lower Base.

Mario Gotico, of CTSI Logistics, said CTSI is the licensee of FedEx on Saipan.

“We are allowed to open several points on Saipan and our main office is at the CTSI Logistics Office at Airport Road.”

According to Island Best Choice manager Eden Guillo, with the occupancy rate of 85 percent, the Marianas Business Plaza serves as a good location and potential for a successful business for FedEx.

“We had a lot of great responses from all of our tenants. They all have said that this is really convenient because they will no longer go to the airport or call and wait for FedEx to come and pick up their package when it just right in the same building,” she said.

Gotico said that before the new FedEx drop-off, “We did not have a near drop-off location in this area. The nearest one to here is at the Airport Road and then the next one if at Century Insurance.”

He added that the 40-some tenants inside the Marianas Business Plaza usually seek the services of the FedEx offices from both Airport and Century Insurance locations.

“We’re looking at the proximity between the Airport and Century Insurance, this area is so near so we went ahead and decided to open the fourth one here [for the sake of convenience],” Gotico said.

There are two employees at the new location ready to conveniently serve its customers particularly near and around the Susupe area.

“Although we are facing many challenges with the economy, we are very optimistic. We are very honored to be located here at the Marianas Business Plaza; and I feel that we really are on the right track,” Guillo said.

She added that she would like thank her boss Eric Vandermass for “he is the one who gave us inspiration and encouragement to open the FedEx business. And as we continue to grow, he’s always there to support us.”

The Island Best Choice FedEx is now open for business and can be reached at 235-2883.
