KUALA LUMPUR (Sept 28): DHL Express, the world’s leading international express services provider, today announced its annual general average price increase, effective Jan 1, 2016.

In Malaysia, the average price increase will be 4.9%, it said in a statement today.

“The whole essence of DHL Express is about providing outstanding service quality for our customers throughout the world.

“Our annual price increase enables us to continue investing in our international time definite network and to maintain our leading service quality,” said DHL Express chief executive officer Ken Allen.

Furthermore, its major investment announcements in 2015 have included new hubs in Brussels, Belgium, and Singapore, and an expanded Americas hub in Cincinnati, US, he added.

DHL Express adjusts its prices annually, taking into account inflation and other rising costs, such as additional expenses related to compliance with enhanced security regulations, in each of the more than 220 countries and territories that it serves.

Price adjustments will vary from country to country, depending on local conditions, and will apply to all customers where contracts allow.

Ken said DHL Express is also continuing to invest in the Middle East and Africa, where it has unrivalled networks, and to add freighter aircraft, particularly to strengthen their intercontinental connections.

Its Certified International Specialist programme equips employees with the skills and knowledge to deliver exceptional service, he added.

“All of this has one overarching aim: to help our customers grow and succeed in international trade,” he noted.
