“Customers want their packages faster than ever. Prime style delivery has set the bar high, making the delivery experience as important as product selection or check-out. Unfortunately, now that Merchants are seeing an explosion in demand for ecommerce experiences, the incumbent carriers are throttling capacity, raising prices and subverting a branded experience” explained Chris Guggenheim, Founder and Executive Chair at X. His solution? “We built a first-of-its-kind national carrier platform that unlocks nearly unlimited capacity to provide high-quality, flexible and transparent delivery for our clients and their customers. I’m thrilled to have this seasoned group of executives joining the team to help us deliver on our mission to Reimagine Delivery.”
