Dhaka, 3 April 2006 – DHL, the world’s leading express and logistics company, today expanded the geographical reach of its Time Definite Delivery (TDD) service to include Bangladesh. This will help customers in Bangladesh to send their urgent, time-sensitive documents and parcels to 156 cities in 34 countries in Asia Pacific, Europe and the Middle East, utilizing DHL’s guaranteed delivery promise.

TDD comprises StartDay Express and MidDay Express, which offer customers the latest possible collection times for pre-nine am and pre-noon deliveries on the next day or the day after, depending on the destinations. A highly-popular service, TDD was enhanced 18 months ago in Asia Pacific both in terms of geographical coverage and service offerings to better meet the needs of customers. Its geographical coverage was expanded by two-fold, while the product offering, which previously catered only to documents, was extended to include low value declarable packages in response to overwhelming demand for such service. The over 10-fold increase in revenue registered and shipments handled as of end-2005, three years after the product was launched in 2002, is evidence of the success and popularity of TDD.

“With the introduction of TDD in Bangladesh, we not only add another popular service to our portfolio but further address the time-sensitive needs of our customers” said Desmond Quiah, Country Manager, DHL Express Bangladesh. “This reflects our continuous emphasis to enhance our service offerings and network infrastructure to better serve the needs of our customers in Bangladesh.”
