Courier company DHL has launched an improved service in the Caribbean and Central America, which it says cuts delivery times in the region by 24 hours.
The DHL Express service, which began at the end of January, provides faster service, linking customers in major Caribbean markets – Freeport and Nassau in the Bahamas, Grand Cayman, Kingston and Montego Bay in Jamaica, and Port au Prince, Haiti – to the other countries in the Caribbean and Central America.
Andrew Williams, DHL Express vice president for sales in the Americas Region, said: “These transit time improvements provide our customers in the Caribbean with an improved level of service within the region and around the world. While our document volumes have remained steady over the last four years, DHL Express has seen a dramatic increase in parcel volumes to and from the Caribbean.
“At the same time, shipment volumes from the Caribbean to Central and South America and from Central and South America to the Caribbean have grown by double digits,” he added. “DHL Express is strengthening our air network in terms of capacity and connectivity to best serve our customers and to respond to this double-digit volume growth.”
Reiner Wolfs, managing director for DHL Express in the Caribbean, added: “Lots of documents and packages need to be moved around the Caribbean quickly and efficiently, and we responded to our customers’ requests for expedited service. This enhanced express service will make exports and imports easier and more convenient for our customers, and can give them a competitive advantage in the international market. This is one more example of how DHL Express responds to our customers’ needs, a practice we will continue in the future.”
