Best practices
Together we make sure your shipments arrive on time
The peak time in parcel land is upon us again! Around Black Friday, St. Nicholas and Christmas, DHL eCommerce processes up to 40% more packages. Fortunately, we are prepared for this to perfection. Through continuous monitoring, close coordination with our customers, clever deployment of people and resources, and by offering consumers flexible delivery options, we are once again managing to deliver all packages on time. What can you do yourself? Here are five best practices from our CCO Michel Clausing.
Firm grip on your shipments
Provide delivery options
Offer alternative delivery options in your online store, like parcel collection at a DHL pickup point. It’s a greener delivery option, and keeps us from ringing the doorbell at an empty house. So it’s win-win!
Send delivery alerts
We send your recipients an instant message telling them when we will be coming. If that’s not a good time, the recipient can schedule a different appointment. So always share the e-mail addresses of your recipients with us.
Coordinate your schedule
Keep us informed of the expected volume and any changes. Specially in rush periods, we cannot take more than we have arranged to take.
Always ready to roll
Make sure that all your shipments are ready to be loaded as soon as our driver arrives. Helping us make sure we can load everything fast prevents delays.
