The Express Delivery Service

The express delivery operators offer a guaranteed, quick, reliable, integrated and door to door delivery service, which is tracked and controlled throughout its entire process. Also, the industry simplifies and speeds the product transportation service. It organizes collection, usually at the end of the business day, allows the sender access to information on the progress of shipments from pick-up to delivery, and provides proof of delivery. Where shipments cross international borders, the express industry handles customs clearance as well as the payment of duties and taxes as required.

Worldwide, the express delivery industry represents a fast growing sector of the economy. It currently provides approximately 2.75 million jobs and it directly contributed to the World GDP with 80 million dollars in the year 2008. *
