DHL EXPRESS JAPAN TO START ACCEPTING OVERSEAS DOCUMENT SHIPMENTS FROM POST OFFICES ACROSS JAPAN

DHL Express, the world’s leading international express service provider, will begin accepting overseas document shipments via “Letter Pack Light”, a product of Japan Post Co. Ltd., from today. Shipping from a post office or a convenience store that handles the product in Japan, you can easily send documents to more than 220 countries and territories around the world using DHL's international express service. 

This new initiative will make it possible to send documents overseas, which previously had to be brought to a DHL service point or arranged for pickup, by posting Letter Pack Light, a Japan Post product. This will enable customers to easily ship documents with DHL using Letter Pack Light purchased at post offices or convenience stores as long as they prepare their shipping documents and complete payment using DHL's online shipping tool in advance. 

In recent years, DHL Japan has been working to develop and expand its infrastructure throughout Japan to meet the increasing need for overseas shipping, driven by the growing cross-border e-commerce market. In addition to the 27 DHL Service Centers located nationwide, 157 partner service points are developed in partnership with business convenience stores such as ACCEA, MBE, Kinko's, and Hankoya-san 21 as drop-off locations for shipments overseas.

Tony Khan, President and Representative Director of DHL Express Japan said, "With the international shipping demand triggered by the growth of cross-border e-commerce market, we are seeing growing needs not only from city areas but local areas as well. The launch of our document shipping service with Letter Pack Light, a product of Japan Post, addresses these needs, and we are delighted to offer even greater convenience to our customers throughout Japan.”
