There’s news of service developments and innovation from the Far East: the Shopee marketplace is offering merchants and shoppers next day DHL delivery in Malaysia.
Merchants selling on Shopee Malaysia can now ship their goods via DHL and enjoy next-day delivery across most of the country. Two to three day delivery is also offered for more remote locations.
Shopee merchants are able to plug into the network of DHL ServicePoints located across Malaysia and drop off their parcels. Apparently sellers with multiple parcels, especially if they have a decent number of despatches, can arrange for a pickup by DHL directly from their premises.
The ecommerce industry cannot exist without a strong and efficient logistics system as it is a crucial part of the entire online shopping process. As a platform with over 10 million users and a rapidly growing user base, it is essential for us to continuously evolve to meet users’ changing demands. Therefore, this partnership is set to strengthen our value proposition and we are confident that our users will benefit from the suite of services and features offered by DHL eCommerce. Together with DHL eCommerce, we will continue to explore synergies between the two companies to better serve our users.

What is Shopee?
Shopee first launched in Singapore in 2015 and has since expanded its marketplace reach to Malaysia, Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia, Vietnam and the Philippines. It’s a marketplace we will be writing more about in due course. But we’d be also interested to learn more and whether it has been successful for you.
In terms of ecommerce, the population of Malaysia is about 32 million but it’s a relatively well developed economy for the region and strategically positioned close to other sophisticated markets.
