Smaller parcel carriers are aggressively expanding to challenge the dominance of FedEx, UPS, Amazon, and USPS. Veho and GLS are leading the charge, leveraging fast-growing volume and strategic city rollouts to gain market share. Here's what you need to know:
Veho launched services in Pittsburgh, Cleveland, and St. Louis, now reaching 118 million people across 53 U.S. metro areas.
Veho’s ecommerce parcel volume doubled in just six months, delivering millions of packages monthly for top brands like Macy’s, Lululemon, and Saks.
GLS launched in Dallas, expanding its pickup and delivery zones to enhance speed across the Western U.S., tapping into a competitive Texas market.
According to Pitney Bowes’ 2024 Parcel Shipping Index, alternative carriers’ volume growth in 2024 outpaced that of FedEx, UPS, and USPS.
While Veho and GLS grow, others like Deliver It, Pandion, and Maergo have shut down, highlighting financial strain and competitive pressures in the sector.
GLS is powering some of the fastest-growing brands in the game.
