Taking on 24: Urban Express' same-day sprint

Carriers like Urban Express remain as indispensable as couriers were in the early days of the postal system. While snail mail carriers are beginning to find dwindling interest in their services, carriers that transport goods of a great quantity are finding themselves virtually untouched by the meteoric rise of e-mail and social networking.


But just like any business in a rapidly evolving economy, carriers have to up the ante in terms of service. The Internet, after all, is simply the beginning of the tech boom that made mobility and connectivity the hallmarks of a modern being. Harnessing technology to drive forward business interests is simply a matter of keeping up with the rest of the world.

Urban Express is not merely keeping up, however. The New York-based courier service offers a same-day delivery system that moves with the precision of a mathematical formula.


Numbers move the mechanism, resulting in a synergy of human competence and technology. The company has 800 couriers that make up to 7,000 deliveries within 24 hours. This system is supported by 25 years of experience serving the roughly 7,000-square-kilometer New York Metropolitan Area.

Augmenting Urban Express’ exceptional performance are cutting-edge database systems that arrange for its delivery schedules. Automated scheduling allows the service to call consignees and assign dates for the arrival of their various packages.


Optional dates may also be chosen, and these options are delivered via e-mail or a phone call. Couriers, at the appointed time of delivery, will then be apprised of the most efficient and safest routes through a web-based system.

Urban Express and Ikea: A partnership assembled in heaven



Urban Express has made a name as a home delivery company. Ikea is the world’s most popular furniture brand, darling of the minimalist era’s quick-assembly furniture. They’ve cobbled a nice partnership glowing with client testimonials, and there’s very little curiosity why the tandem works.

With the glove snug on the hand, improving the system seems superfluous. Contrary to common complacency, though, this is a process that occurs every day. Ikea is known for pulling its weight by modern product concepts while relying on green and sustainable operations for keeping costs at bay. Quick movements among its supply chain characterize its considerable turnovers, and with that kind of efficiency a fast delivery company like Urban Express is a necessary complement.

This year, Ikea has a more promising outlook. Apart from maintaining its billion-dollar revenue across international markets, it is looking to strengthen its presence outside of Europe. North America is an important base, accessed through product promotions in online portals. The services of UX Logistics could be the strongest foothold of Ikea in the American market segment.

The delivery company has also bettered its product assembly services over the years, with its technicians and delivery personnel updating their skills with more forward products.
