Since NepXpress follows third-party logistics, it operates as a mediator between the manufacturer and the end-users.

Here, NepXpress does not have to manufacturer any goods/services, its responsibility is to deliver the goods/services effectively.
NepXpress was mainly established to deliver e-commerce goods/services but as time passed, NepXpress expanded to deliver personal goods/services which can be a letter, invitation or any personal items. It has also added some other features which will be listed in this article.

- In the app of NepXpress, I could not find the cancel option after the delivery request was done. If the user want to cancel the delivery request then there might be problem for both user and NepXpress.
