Domestic and international non-time-sensitive parcel delivery
Our core business is domestic last-mile parcel delivery in selected countries in Europe, in the United States, in selected countries in Asia, in particular in India, and non-TDI cross-border services primarily to, from and within Europe, as well as to and from the United States.
The domestic last-mile parcel delivery service is provided via our own and partner networks, serving a mix of B2C and B2B customers across all sectors. Our non-TDI cross-border service provides worldwide shipping solutions to enable our customers to capitalise on strong growth in cross-border trade, whilst meeting their expectations for speed, transparency and quality. The DHL Parcel Connect platform is our delivery and returns solution developed especially for e-commerce in Europe, catering to both B2B and B2C, which simplifies pan-European cross-border shipping with a harmonised label, common IT systems, core features and local services.
The B2C volume had risen significantly during the pandemic years, with the first half of 2021 representing the highest basis for comparison. The expected normalisation pattern came to be in 2022, with a lesser decrease in the second half of the year compared to the significant declines in the first six months of the year.
Satisfied customers and a high level of delivery reliability
We focus on delivering industry-leading performance as well as quality and service excellence. With this focus, we succeeded in achieving an overall global delivery quality of95.5 % (previous year: 95 %).
