Ho ho. They sure did. FedEx had to supply the production with a crew that insured that FedEx was portrayed accurately. They supplied the logos, uniforms, boxes... That's a form of payment.

And if it was soooo important for things to be realistic, the beginning of the movie was set in 1995. FedEx was known as FDX Corp in 1995. The name FedEx didn't come to be until 2000.

What GD said about your 'Da Vinci' comparison. You can't compare the two.
