About Us

About Us
XDP Express was formed in 1996 and has since grown to be the largest privately owned parcel carrier.

With a team of over 500 and with a franchise network in excess of 60 depots nationwide, our reputation for quality and service has enabled us to secure contracts with a number of blue chip companies.

We operate a manual sortation system, which allows us to be more flexible in the freight we carry and ensures we have a much lower incidence of damage compared to automated belt systems. It also allows us to effectivly deal with a wider variery of freight.

The XDP support structure and network will ensure regular encouragement and ideas to help your business.
