In Part 1 of this 2-part miniseries, our co-hosts, Jason Rowland and Nick Agnetti sit down with Gerry McGowan, Executive Director US Network for Asendia, LIVE from PARCEL Forum '25 to talk about big upgrades to Asendia’s U.S. delivery capabilities.

The conversation highlights a new diversified U.S. carrier network, built to improve speed, reduce costs, and upgrade the final-mile experience. The new Ground Service is live, an express option launches 2026 giving global shippers faster 2-day options into the US, and Asendia global subs are already seeing faster 1–3 day delivery and meaningful savings. Optimized for lightweight DTC parcels, the network also brings multiple delivery attempts, lower return costs, and video proof of delivery, with plans to open these domestic options to U.S. shippers soon.
