About Us

The Global Express Association represents the international express delivery companies that serve over 215 countries, carrying over 30 million packages each day, all of them guaranteed to be delivered within specified time frames. This guarantee makes express delivery unique in the transportation industry and enables our customers to operate over broad territories with a high degree of confidence.

Express delivery operators offer door-to-door services to their customers, providing not only transportation systems in which the location and progress of packages is constantly tracked but also cross-border clearance and collection of payments from customers. Express delivery operators make it possible for businesses of any size to compete effectively in the modern global marketplace, serving their customers across a continent or around the world.

Although the efficient transportation links provided by express delivery companies can benefit a national economy of any nature, they are critical to knowledge-based economies and those that are substantially engaged in production of high-value goods. In this sector, the cost of inventory for both materials and finished goods compels companies to accelerate inventory cycles. Express delivery of materials and product greatly improves the velocity of inventory and capital turnover.

This web site addresses several of the issues that are of interest to express delivery companies and their customers. If you are interested in knowing more about the GEA or its members, please contact us at info@global-express.be.
