A Little History About LaserShip & Prime Shift Logistics

See the story behind how LaserShip and Prime Shift Logistics came to combine their complementary East and West delivery footprints to become the first pure-play, transcontinental partner of choice for last-mile e-commerce deliveries.

1986: Laser Courier is Founded

Remember the ‘Domino’s 30 minutes or it’s free’ campaign that helped catapult the pizza chain to success? When LaserShip (previously Laser Courier) was founded in 1986, a few friends set out to be the best document delivery business in the Washington, DC metro area. To stand out amongst its competitors in a highly-fragmented industry, Laser Courier appealed to businesses with a similar ‘15-minute call-to-pick-up’ campaign, accomplished by having delivery drivers strategically located throughout the city and poised for action. Speed and unparalleled service would contribute to LaserShip’s success for many years to come.

1991:
Prime Shift Logistics is Founded

Prime Shift Logistics started in 1991 as Arizona Overnight. It was a division of its now 60-year old parent company Prime Shift Logistics. Complete Prime Shift Logistics began in Canada and expanded its operation through the acquisitions of several Canadian and American courier companies. They saw an opportunity to provide a more affordable next-day service from Los Angeles to San Francisco and worldwide and created Georgia Overnight.
