DHL Global Forwarding has launched myDHLi Quote & Book, an online service for comparing quotations and making instant bookings, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, for airfreight, seafreight and door-to-door shipments.
The service enables customers to compare available options directly, including DHL Ocean Connect LCL and two speeds of airfreight, DHL Air Connect and DHL Air Economy.
Users can also book transport insurance for the shipments. The service is now available at https://quote.mydhli.com in more than 60 countries.
Tim Scharwath, chief executive DHL Global Forwarding, Freight, said: “Today, we launched the industry’s most user-friendly online quotation and booking service.
“With this new service, we continue our digital transformation with the clear aspiration to become the leading global logistics provider.”
He added: “During the development of myDHLi Quote & Book, we listened to our customers’ needs and improved upon our prior online tool. We added new features, increased coverage and implemented a highly intuitive user interface to achieve a simple and effective customer experience.”
A spokesperson for DHL said that the “easy-to-navigate tool allows instant access to air and ocean freight quotes with a minimum of information required,” adding that transparent air and ocean freight quotes allow customers to “compare rates and lead times to select the best option”.
For airfreight, customers can choose between DHL Air Connect, with a typical delivery time of 3-5 days, and DHL Air Economy, a option that uses alternative carriers and routes to deliver in about 5-7 days. Both booking options cover general cargo up to two tonnes per shipment.
For ocean freight, instant quotes are generated for LCL shipments up to 10,000 kg/ 20cbm per shipment.
