DHL eCommerce has entered into a partnership with e-commerce platform Shopee to offer greater convenience and choice to Shopee users in Thailand.

According to DHL, sellers on Shopee can now access over 500 DHL ServicePoints across Thailand to drop off their parcels and have them delivered to shoppers across the country. Alternatively, sellers can also arrange a pickup from DHL for door-to-door delivery service to their buyers.

“We are thrilled to be partnering Shopee to offer greater ease, choice and control over the online delivery experience,” said Kiattichai Pitpreecha, managing director of Southeast Asia at DHL eCommerce. “Shoppers’ expectations are growing with regards to their entire purchasing experience – they expect a great and seamless experience from the time they click to purchase until the goods are received. A recent report states that 60% of consumers purchased from one online merchant over another because delivery options were more convenient for their needs, highlighting the pivotal role of delivery in the overall online shopping experience.”

To mark the start of the partnership, Shopee and DHL will be offering a free shipping promotion for a limited period. Shopee sellers can take advantage of free shipping nationwide until June 30, 2018 when they select DHL as the logistics provider for their shipments.

“Shopee is excited to work with DHL eCommerce and we are confident that our users will benefit from the suite of services and features offered by DHL,” said Terence Pang, chief operating officer of Shopee. “We aim to become the online shopping destination of choice in all our markets and will continue to explore synergies between the two companies to make both buying and selling on Shopee as easy and seamless as possible.”

DHL’s domestic delivery network in Thailand offers easy IT and API integration, end-to-end tracking, delivery insurance, cash on delivery and other services that are tailored for the booming e-commerce industry.

The ServicePoint network in Thailand will grow to over 1,000 locations in the coming months to offer increased touchpoints with users, according to DHL eCommerce.
