Concept Description
Discover InXpress, a global shipping franchise with a 25-year presence. InXpress franchisees sell top-tier shipping and freight services to small and medium-sized businesses, providing dedicated customer support.
InXpress is DHL’s largest global reseller and one of only two authorized UPS resellers in the USA. Plus, we boast 28+ strategic partnerships with freight carriers nationwide, making us a one-stop solution for our clients! Thanks to our large shipping volume, we provide franchisees with deeply discounted rates to pass on to their clients.
Our franchisees are salespeople and shipping consultants who benefit from low overhead—no office, storefront, or employees needed. Just a phone, computer, and car to get started, plus the drive to sell. With our proprietary software, clients manage shipments effortlessly, and franchisees earn from every shipment, creating a residual revenue stream.
Testimonials
From Cathy Battreall, we asked:
You’re smart, you’re capable, you could have put your money anywhere. Why did you invest in InXpress?
My business partner at the time had this burning desire to own a franchise, and I never understood it. We looked at 6 different models and decided not to get into a franchise agreement with a mosquito control company, and I said to him, “We’re not franchise people, we’re entrepreneurs.” We taught ourselves the business and sold it to an employee. Then we looked at other brands. We got serious. But with some of them, for all you had to spend on rent and everything, I just didn’t see a ton of dollars. From my perspective, if i can’t make 6-plus figures, I can just be a pharmacist. The no-overhead model InXpress offers, and the flexibility they give you to be an entrepreneur, was perfect. Nobody is telling you to do A, B, C and D and to wear a green shirt to work every day.
