Ecommerce/Ebay Customers and Shippers like:

  • Fast
  • Cheap
  • Reliable
  • Saturday Delivery
  • Anywhere-in-the-country

So, USPS and DHL have a program called DHL@Home that banks on both carriers’ strengths to provide shippers a faster, less expensive method for sending packages. But there’s a catch…. you had to ship a lot of packages to get involved - 200-500 a day or more.

But according to Mark Taylor, Chief Logistics Offers at Red Roller and Author of Computerized Shipping Systems: Increasing Profit and Productivity Through Technology (among other books,) Redroller.com now offers this as a shipping option to individual shippers!

DHL@Home offers

  • Saturday delivery at no extra charge
  • Includes delivery to P.O. boxes
  • Superior residential service with final delivery by the USPS
  • Option of standard air service (2-4 business days) or ground(2-7 business days)
  • Tracking!
  • Cheap!

Using DHL’s industry-standard air and logistics network combined with the USPS’ “last mile” infrastructure, the system could reduce costs for light-weight packages common in ecommerce transactions such as those conducted on ebay.

Thanks to Mark Taylor for this Scoop. A full article on this will be posted soon, subscribe to my blog to stay informed.
