4 Benefits of Opening a DHL Express Account For Your Business

In the highly competitive retail and e-commerce sphere, the value of reliable shipping services cannot be underestimated. According to the "Future of Retail 2023" report by Shopify, 62% of consumers expect their orders to arrive within three days, making shipping reliability a critical factor in customer satisfaction. This means that brands with unreliable delivery services, whether due to slow deliveries or missing shipments, risk losing a significant portion of their potential customers.

What’s more, in an archipelago of over 7,600 islands, working with a proper shipping partner is paramount for businesses in the Philippines that are looking to deliver nationwide — not to mention around the world. While the unique geography may pose logistical challenges, harnessing effective shipping solutions can allow companies to tap on a wider customer base without bearing the weight of hefty shipping fees. 

That is precisely where a trusted delivery service provider like DHL Express comes into play. With a DHL Express Business account, you can tap on our global experience, extensive network, and top-notch shipping services to grow your business internationally. Here are four advantages of opening a DHL Express Business account.
