DHL Express has extended its recently-launched US Next Day service into the Swiss market. The newproduct was launched in most of Europe last autumn.
With DHL US Next Day, time-sensitive goods and documents from the most important Swisseconomic regions will be delivered to almost anywhere in the US, Canada and Mexico on the followingday, the company said. Service options are for delivery before 10.30am (DHL Express 10.30), before12.00pm (DHL Express 12.00) or before the close of business (DHL Express Worldwide).
The commercial centers of Geneva, Lausanne, Bern, Biel/Bienne, Basle, Lucerne, Zürich and Wil(St. Gallen) all benefit from DHL’s US Next Day service. A customer in the Geneva area can have hisUS Next Day item collected by DHL as late as 12.45pm.
Customers in the Basle region have the last collection time at 3.45pm because a dedicated DHLplane is used for this service to fly from Basle via East Midlands to Wilmington. Duty is paid onthese items while in the air.
The new service is made possible by the DHL US air hub in Wilmington, Ohio, as well as fourfurther international gateways. Express imports from Europe are sorted at the hub and gateways anddistributed through DHL’s domestic US network.
