World Options launches in Preston

Courier and logistics services firm World Options has expanded into Lancashire with the launch of a new business in Preston.

World Options provides businesses with access to a range of carrier services through an online shipping portal, allowing customers to compare options and book deliveries through a single platform. The service is supported by local franchise partners who work directly with businesses to manage their shipping requirements.

Harvey Close, World Options franchise partner for Preston, said: “When shipping items worldwide, it can be difficult for businesses to be sure they are using the best courier service for each shipment, especially when the optimum choice can vary depending on each individual item and destination.

“World Options offers customers the opportunity to ship domestically and internationally with the likes of DHL, FedEx, UPS, TNT and more, helping them choose the right option for every shipment.

“Our bulk-buying power means customers pay a competitive price for their shipping, whether that be for parcels, pallets, freight transport, documents or imports, nationally or internationally.

“Crucially, we also help with paperwork to minimise the risk of delays at customs when shipping to overseas destinations.

“I’ve spent years working with people, understanding their goals and helping them find practical ways to improve. The same principles apply to courier and logistics services: listen properly, understand what is needed, and provide a service people can rely on.”

World Options is part of Fortidia UK, which manages the Mail Boxes Etc, PACK & Send and World Options brands in the UK from its headquarters in Accrington.

Together, the three businesses support more than 260 franchisees and generate combined annual revenues of approximately £80m. They provide ecommerce, fulfilment, shipping, logistics, virtual office, marketing and print solutions to SMEs and consumers.
