About Worldwide Express

Worldwide Express is a global logistics company based in Dallas that has handled millions of package and freight shipments for more than 30,000 small to midsize businesses. With more than 150 franchises across the country, Worldwide Express is one of the largest authorized resellers of express shipping for UPS, as well as a trusted freight partner to more than 65 carriers.

Worldwide Express began selling franchises in 1995 with the simple goal of providing unmatched levels of service and competitive rates to the small to medium sized business segment (SMB) of the U.S. air express and ground market.

The SMB segment was and continues to be the fastest growing portion of the U.S. air express and ground market, despite the fact that the near-monopolies of FedEx and UPS have historically treated this segment with a one size fits all mentality.

Worldwide knew it could do a better job. They treat the SMB segment like the big guys treat their Fortune 500 customers

About InXpress

InXpress is a global shipping franchise that helps get the same prices and customer support for small and mid-sized businesses that carriers typically reserve for Fortune 1000 companies. We earn the discounts and increased service through cooperative buying that bundles the revenues of these small businesses together. The global freight market was $700 billion in 2013, and it’s expected to grow to $1.3 trillion by 2023, according to research from the U.S. Department of Transportation and Research and Innovative Technology. Fortune 1000 companies have resources to hire logistics experts - but what about the next 5 million companies that are have a smaller payroll and are less experienced, but that cumulatively represent a huge piece of the shipping market?

The InXpress client value proposition: less hassle + lower expenses + greater communication = opportunity

InXpress has almost 300 franchisees worldwide, and nearly 100 in the United States. Franchisees don’t handle boxes or load trucks. They act as consultants or specialists.
