GOFO White Paper Highlights Structural Shift in U.S. Last-Mile Delivery

Published

on

The white paper examines changing carrier dynamics, fragmented e-commerce demand and strategies for shippers navigating an evolving parcel market.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — GOFO, a technology-driven global last-mile delivery carrier, highlights a structural shift in the U.S. parcel market in its industry white paper, How Fragmenting E-Commerce Is Rebuilding the U.S. Last Mile, first introduced at PARCEL Forum 2026 in September. Drawing on third-party market research, industry data and customer case studies, the report examines how changing strategies among established carriers and increasingly fragmented e-commerce demand are creating room for a broader range of delivery networks and reshaping carrier selection for shippers.

A Changing U.S. Parcel Market

According to ShipMatrix data cited in the white paper, U.S. domestic parcel volume reached 23.9 billion packages in 2025, an increase of 0.4% year over year (ShipMatrix, 2026). Amazon Logistics surpassed USPS as the nation’s largest domestic parcel carrier by volume, delivering 6.7 billion packages, up 9.9%, compared with USPS’s 6.6 billion (ShipMatrix, 2026).

Amazon’s expansion represents a significant development in a market historically dominated by UPS, FedEx and USPS. Meanwhile, UPS has been reducing lower-value Amazon volume, FedEx is emphasizing higher-value shipment segments, and USPS continues competing for lightweight e-commerce deliveries while adjusting its pricing and service mix.

On the demand side, e-commerce is becoming increasingly fragmented. According to eMarketer estimates cited in the report, Amazon accounted for approximately 40.5% of U.S. retail e-commerce sales in 2025, with the remaining 59.5% distributed across other marketplaces, retailer websites and direct-to-consumer channels (eMarketer, 2025). This diversification is creating more varied shipment patterns, fulfillment arrangements and delivery requirements.

The Rise of Alternative Carriers

As traditional carrier strategies and e-commerce demand evolve, alternative delivery networks are expanding their presence in the U.S. parcel market. ShipMatrix’s “Other Carriers” category, which includes retailers’ own delivery networks and independent regional carriers, reached approximately 2.5 billion packages in 2025, with reported growth of 13% (ShipMatrix, 2026).

The white paper identifies a range of emerging operating models, including cross-border specialists, technology-enabled urban delivery platforms and super-regional networks. Rather than following a single standardized approach, these carriers serve different geographic markets, shipment profiles and fulfillment needs.

This evolving landscape is giving shippers a broader range of delivery options. The report recommends evaluating carriers based on total transportation costs, geographic coverage, service reliability and technology integration, while maintaining diversified carrier relationships to reduce dependence on individual networks.

Customer Case Studies Highlight the Importance of Carrier Readiness

Drawing on GOFO’s experience with Dr. Squatch and ShipMonk, the white paper illustrates how alternative carriers can support shippers when existing delivery arrangements are disrupted.

According to the case studies, Dr. Squatch expanded its relationship with GOFO from a monitored pilot to a core carrier arrangement after an existing provider became unavailable at short notice. During the transition, the average calendar transit time improved from 3.75 to 3.15 days.

ShipMonk faced an unplanned carrier transition within its Economy delivery tier. GOFO became operational within ShipMonk’s Virtual Carrier Network in 10 days and completed onboarding across its network nodes within 35 days. Over a comparable off-peak period, average transit time improved from 2.56 to 2.10 business days.

Both cases illustrate how advance carrier integration and diversified delivery options can support service continuity during unexpected disruptions.

Looking Ahead

The white paper concludes that U.S. last-mile delivery is undergoing a long-term structural realignment rather than a temporary market cycle. As delivery networks diversify, operational flexibility, real-time shipment visibility and technology integration are expected to become increasingly important in carrier evaluation.

For shippers, adapting to this environment will require delivery strategies that balance cost, coverage, reliability and flexibility across different fulfillment models.

The full white paper, How Fragmenting E-Commerce Is Rebuilding the U.S. Last Mile, provides additional market analysis, customer case studies and a detailed carrier evaluation framework. It is available on GOFO’s website.

Nanjing Offers a Window into the Yangtze River’s Cultural Heritage and Renewal

Published

on

By

NANJING, China, Nov. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Flowing from west to east across China, the Yangtze River connects regions with distinct traditions and a shared cultural heritage. On November 10, scholars and cultural experts from across the river basin gathered in Nanjing for an event themed “One River, a Shared Heritage: Embracing a New Era.” Hosted by the Publicity Department of the CPC Nanjing Municipal Committee and organized by the Nanjing Yangtze River Culture Institute and other partners, the gathering brought together participants from the Bashu (Sichuan and Chongqing), Yunnan–Guizhou, Hubei, Hunan, Jiangxi–Anhui and lower Yangtze cultural regions to explore the richness of Yangtze River culture. Two research publications were released: the Blue Book of Yangtze River Culture: Report on Yangtze River Cultural Development (2025–2026) and the China Yangtze River Cultural Development City Index Report (2026).

Situated where the Yangtze River Economic Belt and the Yangtze River Delta integration initiative intersect, Nanjing is also a key city in the development of the Yangtze River National Cultural Park. In recent years, the city has worked to restore the river’s natural environment while preserving and sharing the cultural heritage along its banks, seeking to set an example for other communities along the Yangtze. Drawing on the historic sites lining its waterfront and its own transformation into a modern city, Nanjing has expanded research into the river’s cultural legacy and encouraged literature and art inspired by the Yangtze. The city is also exploring what that heritage means today, bringing academic research together with new approaches to cultural preservation and public engagement. These efforts offer a revealing glimpse of how the river’s history and traditions can be kept alive and made relevant to contemporary life.
