DHL Rates Just Went DOWN for Authorized Shipping Centers |
|
|
|
DHL is focused on the DHL Authorized Shipping Center network as a high-priority initiative in the US. The DASC network is DHL's only retail presence in the US, so it is extremely important that the program benefits, products and support are the best available in the industry.
For the past several months, RSA staff and members of the DHL operations team have been communicating with and visiting DASC locations — looking for ways to help strengthen the relationship and to grow your international revenue.
Store owners from around the country have expressed their concerns on a variety of important issues, one of which is pricing on international shipping. Owners told us they wanted rates that would allow them to earn better margins while providing their customers with the most competitive price, best-in-class worldwide coverage, and top-notch service and support.
DHL Has Been Listening. Starting July 1, 2010 all stores will be moved from RS2 to RS3 rates — the deepest discount available to the retail network — 63% off DHL's published rates!
