DHL serves more destinations before noon

DHL, the world's leading express and logistics company, has expanded coverage of its pre-12 noon express service in Europe. TimeDefinite Deliveries are now available to 27 European countries. Time-definite delivery before noon is regarded as a particularly important service feature by businesses around the world. "We deliver to more places across Europe and Asia by 9 and by 12 than anyone else for businesses that value speed as well as reliability," comments Thomas George, Head of Marketing at DHL Express Europe.

The greatly enhanced StartDay Express and MidDay Express services offer money-back guaranteed door-to-door delivery before 9 a.m. and 12 noon respectively. With the latest expansion DHL covers 74% of business addresses across Europe. For Germany eg DHL reaches an almost nationwide coverage in pre-12 noon deliveries of shipments into and within the country. In the United Kingdom, Belgium and the Netherlands, DHL MidDay Express coverage is also very high nationwide. DHL also maintains market-leading MidDay Express coverage in Sweden and Finland and to Poland, Hungary, Slovakia and Slovenia in Central & Eastern Europe.

To promote the service expansion and high reliability, a multi-media campaign has been launched in 24 countries across Europe. Four different creative executions are featured in the campaign and are based on the "By 9:00. By 12:00. Nothing Stops Us." theme. Each ad shows a visual representation of DHL's spirit and determination to ensure express deliveries arrive at their destination on time.
