DHL Express is announcing its annual general average price increase throughout the Asia Pacific region from January 1, 2018.
The company says it adjusts its prices annually, taking into account inflation, currency dynamics and other rising costs, such as expenses related to compliance with enhanced security regulations, in each of the more than 220 countries and territories that it serves.
Price adjustments will vary from country to country, depending on local conditions, and will apply to all customers where contracts allow.
In New Zealand, the average price increase for time-definite international shipments will be 4.9%.
“Our annual price increase ensures that we can make the investments needed to meet our customers’ expectations and to continue to make them successful over the long-term,” says DHL Express New Zealand country manager Mark Foy.
“The DHL Express customer promise is that we will provide the very highest levels of service quality for their international time-definite shipments and their business,” says Foy.
“Over the last year, we have added new hubs with automated sorting capabilities to our global network and further strengthened our security measures globally to meet the requirements of our customers, partners, and transport authorities,” he says.
“We have announced further investments in modernizing our aviation fleet, introducing more green vehicles for inner-city delivery and enhancing our ground infrastructure around the world,” says Foy.
“We have also deployed new solutions – such as On Demand Delivery and Parcel Lockers – to make the delivery process even more convenient for retailers and their customers in the dynamically growing e-commerce segment,” he says.
