History
A-1 Express Delivery Service, Inc. began in 1997. It provided same-day courier and distribution services and courier management solutions in the United States. It continued services that supported conducting business online, reward programs, and electronic ordering and monitoring. The company also pairs human value and Internet tools such as with local bike messenger services that use Internet features in an effort to save resources for customers and time during heavy traffic.
In 2005, A-1 Express Delivery Services, Inc. added specialty services such as the Less-Than-Truckload shipping services. Less-Than-Truckload (LTL) is defined as the least expensive method to ship various types of freight long distances. It added Night Medical Prescription Delivery Services and Congressional Line Standing. The latter enables congressional or judicial hearing participants, who do not have time to stand in line until admittance, to have a stand-in from A-1 Express Delivery Service, Inc. who will hold the place in line, hold the final seat, and communicate with the client throughout as is needed. The methods of communication used are Internet and cellular.
In November 2005, couriers of various business sizes were invited to become an affiliate and official A-1 Express service provider in each of their respective markets. Monetary investment by the new affiliates was not required.
In December 2005, A-1 Express Delivery Service, Inc. added an option to meet daily internal and external service needs between offices, such as payroll, deposits, packages, and mail deliveries while keeping cost as lower. The program involves logistical analyses of locations and time perimeters required by the client. This is supported by utilizing route optimization systems to map out delivery efficiencies.
In 2007, Mark McCurry and Lon Fancher (co-founders of A-1 Express Delivery Services, Inc.) acquired the rights to www.1-800courier.com and used that platform to market to national businesses which require a nationwide footprint. A sample of the businesses served include BMW of North America, Morgan Stanley/Smith Barney, Coca-Cola and Esurance.
Early in February 2012, A-1 Express Delivery Service, Inc. partnered with Washington Express Visas Services to provide Washington, DC visa and passport courier services. In 2013, the company began Washington, DC visa and passport courier services and medical and specimen delivery services.
