The My DHL app has won another award, winning the 3rd international award for best mobile app. There are now over 2.3 million active My DHL users since its launch over a year ago. The app also has new features: dark mode and a fixed delivery preference per delivery address. By choosing a fixed preference, even more packages can be delivered the first time around, according to the delivery wishes of the consumer. That is the most sustainable option that at the same time offers even more customized delivery.
Delivery preferences
Via the app, the recipient follows all packages that are on their way to him via DHL eCommerce. Until the last moment, the delivery time or the delivery location can be changed as desired. What is new is that every app user can also indicate in advance that an agreed place around the house or a specific service point is always preferred. And if the user wants something different, the preference can simply be changed until the moment of delivery. The fact that recipients want flexibility is also evident from the times that a delivery is still adjusted at the last minute. This happens almost a million times a month. More than 10,000 app users have already set their delivery preference; of these, more than half opt for an agreed place and more than 45% for a DHL service point nearby.
