International Courier Franchise in India
International shipping is a booming business. It is growing 9.6% every year and will be a $199.4 billion industry by 2035. You too can start this business by availing an International Courier Franchise in India with Atlantic International Express.
An Atlantic International courier franchise is an export booking office that you would operate in your city. What happens in this office? It works as a primary collection centre for international couriers.
You accept documents, parcels, student baggage, and commercial shipments from walk-in customers and local businesses. We handle everything after pickup. We look after the freight contracts, consolidation through our main hub, and customs documentation. The main aspect of overseas delivery to 180+ countries is also handled by us. From pickup to final delivery, we provide end-to-end tracking.
By becoming an Atlantic Courier franchisee, you are not running a delivery fleet. Instead, you are running a booking counter that is backed by a network that already moves shipments to countries across the globe.
Why an Export Franchise, Not Just a Last-Mile Delivery Franchise?
A last-mile delivery franchise mainly handles the final delivery of parcels to customers. The earnings are based on the number of parcels assigned for delivery.
An international courier franchise like Atlantic’s works differently. You operate a booking office where customers can book international shipments. A shipment could be student baggage to Canada or a commercial consignment to Dubai. The parcels can also be gifts and personal packages to family abroad. You may also have customers who need regular international shipping.
However, international shipping is not just about booking. The process involves freight arrangements, consolidation, customs documentation, overseas delivery partners, and shipment tracking. Building this network independently can take significant time and resources.
When you join hands with Atlantic International Express, you get access to all these from day one. We have systems that have been tried and tested for years by us. Hence, you can rely on them.
