DHL Express has announced a price increase for Australia that will take effect on January 1, 2021. The increase in Australia will be 4.9 per cent, compared to 2020.
Further, the surcharge for Overweight Piece and Non-Stackable Pallet will be adjusted to AU$140 (€85) per piece and AU$285 (€175) per pallet. This is to continuously ensure the resilience of its network and constantly maintain high service standards.
“Supporting our customers in reaching their business goals with individually tailored services according to the needs of their business is one of our main goals at DHL Express. To this end, we have been investing largely in our international network. The annual price adjustment enables us to further develop our infrastructure while allowing us to apply state-of-the-art technologies and individual delivery processes to ensure best-in-class customer solutions.
“In response to the increased demand for logistics expertise due to rising item volumes in the e-commerce market, we have invested heavily in the renewal of our aircraft fleet as well as our global hub and gateway network. These and future advances will help us, our customers and partners, make a significant contribution to improving our ecological footprint,” Gary Edstein, CEO and Senior Vice President, DHL Express Oceania said.
