SHIPPING PARTNERS

Our Integrators Shipping Partners TNT EXPRESS and UPS – UNITED PARCEL SERVICES are very similar in scape and approach and offer two different package type;

DOCUMENTS

Our integrators started their business based on transporting document and still provide a preferential service type for Express Documents, both TNT and UPS offer this service up to 2.5 kilos. DPD our Postal Parcel provider also offer this service.

EXPRESS PARCELS

Often also labeled “Non-Document” is by now the largest part of the business for TNT and UPS, they offer many different Service Types for this Package Type.
In Europe, the most popular offer used by our small and medium size business (SME’s) is the road-based offering respectively Economy Express and Standard Service Types, but if it needs to go faster customer are using TNT’s Express Service Type and UPS’s Express Saver. For timed deliveries they both offer Service Type with delivery before a certain time, this service is of course limited in scope in terms, both countries covered and Post Codes commitment within the delivery country.

TNT (Thomas Nationwide Transport) was launched just after the Second World War as a delivery service in Sydney. Since then, they have since seen significant growth and are now among the top five global, major package delivery companies. They deliver millions of documents and packages on a daily basis. Although they are now owned by FedEx, TNT have kept their identity as a separate company. In the 1980’s, TNT expanded into Europe and the rest of the world and now offer their services to 180 countries. They still have a very strong presence in Australia but have added a leading domestic service in Europe with their unique “Road Express” service. Their Economy Express service is an excellent choice for World Options customers offering a large number of Express destinations.

UPS is the most established and the largest parcel integrator in the world. Founded in the United States in 1907, they initially began as a ground courier operation and an alternative to the USPS (US Post Office).
Since their early days as a ground operation, UPS has developed a significant global footprint. Here, at World Options, we are proud to consider UPS as one of our Global Strategic Partners and are delighted to work with them in all the countries that we operate in.
UPS offer an extensive range of services. When speed is of the essence, our primary recommendation to our customers is the Express and Express Saver services. If you are looking for a more cost-effective distribution, then we recommend the Standard and Expedited services. While UPS are particularly strong in the US, they also offer excellent overseas shipping services.

We also work with alternative distribution provider, generally they provide similar services to the local post, but our offering always includes that your parcel(s) will be picked-up.

PALLETS & FREIGHT

We have over the past years recognized that small and medium size businesses (SME’s) also have need for export, import Pallets & Freight or even shipping domestically and we have responded to this by introducing those type of services, some within our Shipping Portal and others as an off portal shipping approach. We work with some of the larger freight forwarders to provide your robust services, but we do also combine this with work with local specialists for certain lanes. Our main providers are ExFreight, DSV, DHL Freight & DHL Global Forwarding.

POST PARCELS

We work with the parcel businesses of Deutsche Post – DHL PARCEL and La Poste – DPD, both provide Belgium & Netherlands services for business-2-business and business-2-consumer, they also provide general post parcel services across Europe. The service include a pick-up the following day after booking your shipment and is a reliable post parcel service but should not be compared with the service of our integrators TNT and UPS.

The DP DHL group has a presence in more than 220 countries around the world, but work with the parcel organization DHL Parcel with a strong base in Germany (of course), Belgium, Netherlands, Poland, Czech and Hungary, and with partnership across Europe. Being part of Deutsche Post, DHL Parcel has been provider parcel services for many years and particular know the challenges in providing both business-2-business as well as business-2-consumer services,
Their services in Belgium and Netherlands is strong in the business-2-business segment.
