Parcel Plus Franchise:
Technological
advancement has led to the growth of the home-based business
market. Parcel Plus positions itself to become the secondary
offices for these entrepreneurs who don't want to have
copiers, fax machines and postal meters cluttering their
homes. In addition, they may not have the supplies or the
time to ship products related to their business. Parcel Plus
also services cargo customers that have items too large or
bulky to ship via carriers like FedEX or others. Typically a
common carrier or moving company has shipping requirements
which include that an item be crated, and have minimum fees.
Parcel Plus uses carriers that do not charge the minimum or
pick up fees. Parcel Plus can also handle the crating
required so the customer doesn't have to deal with it.
Insurance is also available for the item being shipped. This
is a niche market with growing demand. Parcel Plus, with the
assistance of its affiliated parent company ICED, has
developed a selling and marketing system to grow this
market.
The
services offered at Parcel Plus cater to the outside sales
person, the person who doesn't have enough time, and the
busy business owner who wants to outsource their shipping
and packaging requirements. Besides the traditional services
of packaging, packing supplies and freight, Parcel Plus
offers pickup, crating, shipment and insuring cargo with
quick quotations. Other services offered by many Parcel Plus
centers include greeting cards, gift wrapping supplies and
wrapping service, faxing, mailboxes, convenience copiers,
mailing services, business cards, office supplies, specialty
advertising, labels, notary, banners, name badges, and
rubber stamps. Please note that this is not an offer to sell
you a franchise. An offer may be made by our Uniform
Franchise Offering Circular (UFOC) only. The offer may vary
from state to state.
