DHL Parcel – along with the Finnish postal operator Posti and Bring, a subsidiary of the Norwegian postal operator Posten Norge – are joining forces to jointly offer a dedicated B2C infrastructure for parcel deliveries across Scandinavia, Finland and the Baltic states.
The non-exclusive cooperation that will begin on April 1, 2016 further extends DHL Parcel's network for cross-border e-commerce by seven countries. The expansion is in line with DHL's strategy to develop the e-commerce market in Europe and to offer its customers a well-developed infrastructure. In just two years, DHL Parcel has increased its network footprint to now 16 of the most important European e-commerce markets and offers online retailers a harmonized network with standardized services.
6500 Parcel shops & stations
The delivery network in Scandinavia, Finland and the Baltics will be the largest operated in these markets and will include 6,500 parcel shops and parcel stations by the end of 2016. Unlike in other European markets with higher population densities, it is not common for parcels to be delivered to the customers' doorstep in these countries. The expanded network will thus increase convenience for consumers.
In fact, Saturday delivery, standardized processes and labels for shipping and returns will allow for faster transit times in the future.
Estimated delivery time
In addition, the partners will establish a system that notifies recipients about the likely arrival time of their desired item. There will also be customer friendly return solutions across all European markets DHL Parcel operates in, regardless of whether the parcel is sent from Poland, Belgium or Sweden, for example. After adding the Benelux countries, Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Sweden, France and now Denmark, Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, DHL Parcel is present in 16 European countries including their home market Germany.
