DHL Express 09:00 / 10:30 / 12:00 / Worldwide / Envelope

DHL Express is a Next Business Day possible shipping solution in which your package will arrive on the next business day given the allotted service selected and pending any delays in transit due to weather, mechanicals, miss-sort, COVID-19 restrictions, etc. 

By shipping your package worldwide overnight from the United States on any DHL Express service it could be anticipated to arrive by the next business day, meaning that a DHL Express 12:00 up to 154lbs shipped overnight from United States to London, UK on December 23rd, 2020 should be delivered by 12:00 on December 24th, 2020 in time for Christmas.

Please understand that while this is a guaranteed service, demand on carrier systems due to peak season shipping and COVID-19 restrictions may play a role in delaying your package. 

Helpful Hints
  • We encourage you to submit your volume increase requests and forecast for the upcoming peak season as soon as possible, but no later than October 2, 2020. Please do not ramp-up your volume until DHL eCommerce Solutions has provided you with written approval. 
  • Contact our Transportation Operations Center (TOC) or your Client Relationship Manager (CRM) if you require additional transport (sweeps) due to increased volume during peak; a determination will be made whether additional sweeps are possible. 
  • Ensure an e-file is submitted for each pickup. 
  • Please provide your Sales Manager or CRM with evening and weekend contacts, for fast resolution regarding pickups and/or processing questions. 
  • We recommend maintaining a minimum supply level of at least 7 days. Depending on the type of supply, it may take several days to obtain.
