DHL agree partnership with Walgreens
DHL has entered into a strategic agreement with Walgreens, the nation’s largest drugstore chain, which will more than double the number of retail outlets offering DHL Express shipping services nationally.
Walgreens is projected to expand to more than 6,500 locations by the end of 2008 with more than 1,600 stores open 24 hours a day..
The new agreement is designed to readily service shippers sending and dropping off their packages via DHL for overnight, ground or international delivery. The DHL Shipping Spot will be staffed by Walgreens associates at Walgreens photo counters to weigh, label and ship customer packages to U.S. or international destinations, creating a simple and easy shipping experience.
Walgreens customers will have access to DHL’s core express products and services. Shippers will benefit from the convenience of a DHL location “down the street” and “around the corner” that provides access to a global shipping network serving over 225 countries and territories.
By end of 2008, DHL will have more than doubled its retail presence with retail shipping locations, including Walgreens and OfficeMax locations, as well as thousands of independently owned and operated shipping centers that are part of the DHL Authorized Shipping Center network.
