AuMake’s growing database of over 80,000 members will now be able to ship direct to China with DHL eCommerce Parcel International Direct shipping solution, which they describe as a high quality and affordable tracked solution with fast transit times of 5-7 days.
We’re proud to partner with AuMake to offer Parcel International Direct China to their customers and provide reliable and high quality direct shipping solutions. We understand that trust is highly important for Chinese shoppers particularly in the delivery process. Our shipping solution offers great transit times, high quality handling and tracking visibility to connect Australian brands to Chinese consumers.

Australian products are highly sought after by Chinese online shoppers, contributing to 20% of cross-border purchases into China in 2017, up 9% from 2016. In addition, there are an estimated 400,000 ‘daigous’ operating in Australia who act as an overseas personal shopper to buy and ship products from Australia to China.
Via its growing footprint of showroom-style stores, AuMake and Kiwi Buy across Sydney, Australia, customers can easily make purchases and arrange a pick up by DHL eCommerce for international deliveries from AuMake’s retail stores with the launch of the new service.
Predominantly, this deal between DHL and AuMake great news for merchants and retailers in Australia because it provides a high-end service that will bet the goods to China very quickly. But the cloud of trade sanctions could yet make that a more difficult trade route in due course.
