We see delivery differently.

GFS gives you direct access to the industry’s widest network of delivery services across domestic, international and specialist carrier partners, through one GFS relationship. This means you have the services and tools you need to offer customers a wide choice of delivery options, and the flexibility to switch services on or off as needed – without the overheads of multiple carrier contracts or processes. This is all offered to you at competitive carrier rates exclusive to GFS.
