"I've directed our representatives to stop using them, and encourage you to do the same" says Mark Hoppus.

Blink-182 have revealed that they are now boycotting the delivery service FedEx after they vowed to continue working with the National Rifle Association.

It comes in the aftermath of a school shooting that left 17 students and faculty members dead in Parkland, Florida.

Bassist Mark Hoppus originally expressed his distain at the company continuing their relationship and added "please reconsider your position or we will take our business elsewhere".

.@FedEx very disappointed to learn you still work with the NRA, whose board member pushes conspiracy theories against children who endured a mass shooting. Please reconsider your position or we will take our business elsewhere.

The company then released a statement saying they would not be cutting ties with the NRA stating that "FedEx has never set or changed rates for any of our millions of customers around the world in response to their politics, beliefs, or position on issues."

Mark has now followed this up by confirming that he has now "directed our representatives to stop using them, and encourage you to do the same."

.@fedex has chosen to continue its business relationship with the NRA, despite its board member pushing conspiracies against children who survived Parkland. I've directed our representatives to stop using them, and encourage you to do the same. #BoycottFedEx
