Worldwide Express

Worldwide Express is a shipping company geared specifically toward assisting small and medium-sized businesses with their shipping needs. Because smaller companies do not often ship a high volume of items, they are often excluded from receiving the lowest rates. Worldwide Express works with existing shipping companies to get these smaller businesses’ materials transported at lower costs. In 2008, Worldwide Express drew the attention of UPS, the world leader in package delivery, and a partnership between the two companies soon formed. Now, UPS assists Worldwide Express in providing customers with unprecedented shipping advantages like faster delivery times and delivery to even more door to door locations across the globe. Worldwide Express also offers freight shipping for jobs where air travel or ground transport will not suffice.
