DHL eCommerce has partnered with AuMake, an Australian retailer connecting suppliers directly with Chinese consumers, to enable quality deliveries direct from Australia to China.

According to DHL, AuMake’s growing database of over 80,000 members will now be able to ship directly to China with the DHL eCommerce Parcel International Direct solution, a tracked service offering transit times of five to seven days.

“We’re proud to partner with AuMake to offer Parcel International Direct China to their customers and provide reliable and high-quality direct shipping solutions,” said Denise McGrouther [right in photo], managing director of DHL eCommerce Australia. “We understand that trust is highly important for Chinese shoppers particularly in the delivery process. Our shipping solution offers great transit times, high-quality handling and tracking visibility to connect Australian brands to Chinese consumers.”

Australian products accounted for 20% of cross-border purchases into China in 2017, 9% higher than in 2016.

With the launch of the new partnership, customers can make purchases and arrange a pick-up by DHL eCommerce for international deliveries from AuMake’s growing footprint of showroom-style stores across Sydney.

“The demand for Australian products from China is insatiable and through AuMake’s retail stores and the collaboration with DHL eCommerce, we are making it easier to ship from Australia to China,” said Joshua Zhou [left in photo], managing director of AuMake International Limited. “AuMake’s customers can shop and ship with the additional choice of using a well-known and trusted logistics provider like DHL eCommerce, providing peace of mind that their purchases will be safely and quickly delivered.”

DHL has been operating in Australia since 1972.
