DHL Merchandise Mail
Cheap and easy shipping small goods
DHL commodity mail is smaller than a parcel and larger than a letter. This gives online retailers the opportunity to ship small goods such as sunglasses, shoes or cell phone cases in an environmentally conscious, affordable and efficient way. In the following video you will find out which advantages arise for both you merchants and your customers.
What is DHL Merchandise Mail?
So what’s the deal with the so-called commodity mail?
To be able to classify these, I think the guiding principle fits: “Merchandise mail closes the gap between parcel and letter”. That is, this is larger than a letter, but smaller than a package. The advantage of this is that resources are saved, as cartons that are too large now no longer have to be stuffed with filling material, some of which is harmful to the environment. This means the goods mail saves space, resources, money and protects the environment. The following dimensions must not be exceeded.
What are the dealer benefits?
But what specific benfits jump out for you retailers?
With over 6000 shipments per year by merchandise mail, your parcels will be processed on site at the warehouse, for example. picked up. Furthermore, you can offer GoGreen, an option with which DHL offsets the emissions caused by investing in climate protection projects. This way you can use the GoGreen badge in your store as well and be even more attractive for your customers.
What are the customer benefits?
Speaking of customers, they benefit from fast delivery times, sometimes as little as one business day, always know where your package is through delivery tracking, and can optionally have the package placed in a safe place or with a neighbor. The delivery is then digitally documented, so both retailer and customer know at all times. But what does it all cost?
A distinction must be made here between National Goods Post and International Goods Post. As a condition, a contract must be signed with Deutsche Post, assuring that 200 shipments per year will be queued. If there are even more, the per-shipment price can become lower. To do this, simply become a business customer on DHL.de and specify how many shipments are expected, then you will receive all the information about your price lists by e-mail. As a rough estimate, however, DHL states that from 300 parcels in Germany per year it starts at 4.97€ and internationally from 200 parcels at 13.42€. As mentioned, GoGreen can then be added on top with one cent per shipment and branch routing with €1.99 per shipment. But to be on the safe side, head over to the DHL site and get custom pricing.
