DHL extends pickup cutoff time for southern Vietnam

The change will see counters extending their cutoff times to as late as 17:45hrs for most areas within Ho Chi Minh City, essentially ensuring a full business day, from Monday to Friday, for customers looking to send packages and documents internationally.

"DHL Express has been operating in Vietnam for almost 25 years," said Yasmin Aladad Khan, senior vice president, DHL Express Southeast Asia. "With all of this history behind us here and our experience from working with Vietnamese customers, we understand what they need and are constantly striving to offer them value added services. The extension of the pickup cutoff times not only allows us to make the day a little longer for the manufacturers, who are the backbone of Vietnam's export economy, but it also underscores our capabilities to offer timely and reliable services to our customers."

"The benefits from the later departure of our flight will be channeled to our customers in Ho Chi Minh City, Long An, Binh Duong, Dong Nai and Vung Tau, which encompass some of Vietnam's main manufacturing and industrial zones. Our unprecedented access to the company’s Asia Air Network will see DHL offering the latest pickup cutoff times for same day uplift in comparison to other international express companies operating in Vietnam’s southern provinces. As International Specialists, DHL is always at the forefront of facilitating trade between Vietnam and its partners around the world," said Christopher Ong, DHL-VNPT Express general director.

The latest service enhancement is part of DHL’s ongoing effort to provide ease of trade for Vietnamese businesses and to ensure sustainability and scalability of the local businesses in the international scene.
