EXEL LOGISTICS AND DELIVERY SUBSIDIARY TARGET E-COMMERCE

   Exel Logistics and its Oxnard, Calif.-based subsidiary Merchants Home Delivery are integrating their services to introduce a service offering specifically for e-commerce sales of furniture, appliances and electronics.
    Merchants Home Delivery specializes in delivery of furniture, appliances and electronics with 1,500 delivery teams making an average of 15,000 deliveries a day, or 4.5 million deliveries a year, in the United States and Canada.
