Less than a month after forming a small-business shipping service alliance with OfficeMax, Airborne Express has made a deal with Neighborhood Postal Centers (NPC), allowing further expansion of Airborne's retail presence to more than 1,700 mail and parcel outlets nationwide.

Starting January 22, NPC's licensed locations will be eligible to offer their customers a variety of shipping services through Airborne Express. The NPC agreement is the latest move in Seattle-based Airborne's initiative to expand service options to small-business customers.
