DHL launches Indian time-bound service

Posted by | Aug 9, 2005 | |

DHL has announced a Time Definite Delivery (TDD) service, a door-to-door delivery service that ensures that documents reach their destination by a specified time on the second business day. With the new service, customers in India can send or receive documents to and from 12 cities in the Asia-Pacific.

DHL’s ‘StartDay Express’ offers second day delivery pre-nine a.m. and ‘MidDay Express’ offers second day delivery pre-noon. If the delivery is not made by the stated time, the customer is notified and a report stating the reason for the delay is communicated. Should the cause of the delay lie with DHL, the total transportation charges could be refunded. The service will be first available in Mumbai and New Delhi and later in Chennai and Bangalore.

Posted by | Aug 9, 2005 | |

DHL plans to spend USD4 million to expand near Rickenbacker Airport, a move that will create 150 jobs. The express delivery and logistics company said the investment will be made over five years at its DHL Columbus Commerce Park on Spiegel Drive, north of Rickenbacker. The facility has 120 employees, a mixture of DHL workers and employees contracted through a company that is a partner of DHL.

DHL uses the facility to provide logistics services, such as warehousing, inventory management, packaging and transportation management. “The primary reason for this expansion is growth in our third-party operations,” said John Robinson, director of logistics operations. “It allows us to expand for our current clients and accommodate new clients.”
