DHL Express extends cut-off time

DHL Express Malta has further extended the cut-off time for clients to book services and collect parcels or mail for delivery.

The cut-off time for last bookings has been extended to 3.30pm and the collection will be made at latest by 4.30pm for next-day delivery.

With a fleet of 14 vehicles, DHL Express can reach every corner of the island and through real-time communication, depending on location, vehicles are instructed to collect the required package. DHL Express operates a daily flight on a Boeing 757 to import and export packages from a wide variety of clients. They typically contain anything from letters and documents to CDs, spare parts, medical and other samples, and even temperature-controlled containers.

“The temperature-controlled containers are certified to maintain a temperature-controlled environment, using our different solutions maintaining the required temperature up to a maximum of 105 hours, depending on the length of the journey,” DHL Express Malta manager Charles Schiavone explained.

DHL Express is also working on speeding up the local delivery process of the packages it receives through the DHL global network, ensuring that it can consistently bring clients packages, especially from Europe, within 24 hours of collection. Mr Schiavone said DHL Express was working to ensure the parcel containers are in the logistics centre at Malta International Airport for separation and loading onto vans as soon as possible after the aircraft lands.
