DHL Express Kenya has introduced ‘DHL Easy Shop’, that offers consumers a solution to shopping online and receiving goods from the USA.
DHL Easy Shop gives customers a personal mailing address in the US enabling them to shopping with US online retailers without the complications and high cost of shipping.
Customers pay for their online purchases using their credit cards and provide the given US personal address to their online retailers. The online retailers deliver all items to the provided customer personal mailbox in the US, at which point DHL sends the items to the customers’ selected DHL Service Point in Kenya for collection.
DHL Express marketing manager Bob Odhiambo said: “Anybody with a credit card can start shopping immediately … they get registered and [can] have the items in the country within 4 days.”
Other benefits include the option of insuring goods against damage or loss; tracking shipments in real time via DHL’s Track and Trace system on the DHL Express website and receiving e-mail notifications when packages have arrived at given personal mailbox and again when the item arrives at the chosen DHL Service Point in Kenya.
