DHL offers Freight Express

p. 35 · Read in the full issue

DHL Worldwide Express, the world’s largest international express carrier has now expanded its operations in the Pacific to offer a new concept in the movement of packages and freight -

“Express Freight”. The DHL Express

Freight service is an alternative to the conventional air freight service which is often too slow and inflexible for time

sensitive shipments. DHL Express

Freight puts your shipments under one company control, door-to-door. By cut ting out the need for separate air freight agents, Customs agents and ground transport operators, it’s more cost ef ficient, more flexible and in most cases it’s faster.

This represents an additional commit ment by DHL in developing the interna tional air freight market on the back of the recent announcement of a 51.25 bijlion investment worldwide in upgrad

ing freight handling and information

systems. The Express Freight service enables DHL to meet time requirements and customer orders for companies

moving heavyweight shipments regu

larly. DHL has in place the right distribution network, airport infrastruc ture and technology to move product more reliably and faster then through

existing forwarding methods.

DHL continues to target companies exporting to the Asian and Pacific rim region which is the world’s fastest growing air express market. DHL Worldwide Express in the Pacific offers this service to all of their 3000 global destinations with the added benefit of tracking each individual shipment door to door with the most advanced compu terised system there is. In the South Pacific DHL has offices in Fiji, Western and American Samoa, Cook Islands, Funafuti, Kiribati, Nauru, Tonga, Sol omon Islands, Vanuatu, Tahiti, New Caledonia and Papua New Guinea. □
