HOW IT WORKS
When your receiver’s email address or mobile number is added in the DHL air waybill during the shipment process, our platform will send a notification to update your receiver of the estimated delivery date. To provide even more flexibility, the message includes a link to our platform, presenting six alternate on-demand delivery options should it be inconvenient for your receiver to accept their parcel on the planned delivery date.
After selecting one of the above options, their request will be sent to our operations team to make sure the necessary pickup and delivery arrangements are in place to meet your customer's order on time. Selecting the vacation hold option, for instance, will keep their shipment secure within our facility until the requested date. With On-Demand Delivery, we can guarantee convenience for you and your customers is prioritized and delivered.
