Is No. 1 Courier part of a global delivery network?
How WCA membership connects a Phoenix courier to a vetted network of logistics partners across the world.
By the No. 1 Courier dispatch team · Updated August 13, 2026 · 2 min read
The short answer
Yes. No. 1 Courier is a member of the WCA eCommerce Solutions Network, part of WCAworld, the world's largest network of independent logistics providers spanning more than 190 countries. It positions No. 1 Courier as the trusted Arizona first and final-mile partner for international forwarders, and gives our local clients access to a vetted global network for shipments that travel beyond the state.
What WCA is
WCAworld is the world's largest and most powerful network of independent logistics companies, with member offices in more than 190 countries. It is how independent freight forwarders and delivery companies around the globe connect, vet each other, and move freight across borders without handing it to a single global mega-carrier.
The WCA eCommerce Solutions Network is the arm of WCA built for first-mile and final-mile delivery. It plugs local, boots-on-ground couriers like No. 1 Courier into international forwarders who need a reliable partner to handle the last leg inside the United States, especially in fast-growing markets like Arizona.
No. 1 Courier was approved into the network in 2026 as the Arizona final-mile partner. For a shipment moving from overseas to a doorstep in Phoenix or Tucson, we are the local company that completes the delivery to the standard the network requires.
What global network membership means for you
Being part of WCA extends what a local courier can do for your business:
- Reach beyond Arizona: shipments that start overseas or need to move between countries are handled through a network of vetted partners, with No. 1 Courier managing the Arizona leg.
- Vetted partners only: WCA members are financially screened and reviewed, so the companies your freight passes to are held to a real standard, not chosen at random.
- Payment protection between members: WCA's member-to-member protection program covers qualifying transactions inside the network, reducing counterparty risk on international handoffs.
- A single accountable local contact: you deal with No. 1 Courier here in Arizona, and we coordinate the network side, instead of you chasing a carrier's overseas call center.
- Same standards, wider map: the insurance, chain-of-custody, and on-time discipline we already run locally now extend into international final-mile work.
Local courier, global reach
No. 1 Courier has been a Phoenix-based, family-run courier since 1997. WCA membership does not change who we are. It adds reach. We are still the same team running same-day and dedicated routes for medical, pharmacy, legal, financial, and B2B clients across Arizona.
What changes is that we can now say yes to more. An international forwarder that needs a residential final-mile delivery in Las Vegas or a specimen picked up in Tucson has a vetted Arizona partner. A local client whose shipment needs to move beyond the state has a courier who is plugged into a trusted global network rather than one who has to hand them off and hope.
If your business ships beyond Arizona, or you need a local partner who is accountable for the last mile of an international move, we would like to talk. Call (480) 300-4811 or request a quote.
