DHL introduced the largest two new time-definite express products in 12 countries across Latin America: DHL Express 10:30 a.m. for deliveries to the United States and DHL Express 12:00 p.m. for delivery services within Latin America.
The new morning express delivery services respond to customers’ time-sensitive needs, empowering them with the choice as to when and at what time they want their urgent materials delivered.
These new offerings are now available for customers and businesses sending shipments to major business centers within Latin America and to the U.S. from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay and Venezuela.
Both products will serve the steady growth of exports from South and Central America which increased by 5 percent in 2007 while the region’s real merchandise imports increased by 20 pct, more than three times the global average in 2007, according to data from the World Trade Organization.
The service guarantees door-to-door, next day or second day delivery of documents and parcels. Additional service features for these services include the latest possible collection times-a clear competitive differentiator-proactive delivery notification by email, delivery guarantee, dedicated operations procedures for priority handling.
