World Options Franchise

World Options was established in 2003 and has since grown into a leading provider of simple and affordable shipping solutions for businesses.

At World Options, our concept is simple. Using our World class software, we offer in one solution a range of carriers to suit every business need, saving time, trouble and money on all parcel and courier requirements. We know that one carrier does not always fit every business user, this is why we offer multiple, cost saving, individual choices to all business users, through our Franchise network.

We will give you the tools that allow you to offer a wide range of freight and courier options to companies with shipping needs whether UK or International and via Road, Rail, Sea, or Air. We also go much further than just saving our customer’s time and money, we have a dedicated team, committed to excellence in customer service and highly experienced in the parcel, courier express market. When combined with our franchise expertise, we are able to offer unparalleled support to our franchisees.
