Unlike local drop-off points, an express hub is a central sorting and consolidation facility within courier networks where inbound shipments are sorted by destination region and routed for fastest-possible transit. Express carriers such as DHL, FedEx, and TNT operate these hubs to meet guaranteed delivery timeframes, processing shipments with minimal dwell time across multiple daily shifts and immediately forwarding them to the next leg.
