Similarly, consumers will be able to choose to pick up their orders from the very same and easily reached retail locations in early 2018. Over 1,000 ServicePoints will be launched over the coming months to provide greater accessibility for both sellers and shoppers.
"We are extremely positive about the e-commerce growth in Thailand, and have seen fantastic growth since we launched our domestic delivery network in Thailand in 2016. We will continue to enhance our existing solutions and launch new services to offer greater convenience and choice for sellers and shoppers across Thailand," says Kiattichai Pitpreecha, Managing Director, DHL eCommerce Thailand. "We are really pleased to now be able to offer parcel drop-off and pick-up locations, all of which are easy to access, simple to use and provide a fantastic customer experience."

The ServicePoints are equipped with state-of-the-art technology and designed to maximize mobility for SMEs and micro-SMEs. Customers will receive shipment confirmation via SMS and email. Shipment track-and-trace, cash on delivery and shipment insurance services are also available.

With a joint partnership between DHL eCommerce and marketplaces in Thailand, sellers can now easily drop off their parcels at selected ServicePoints or, and as the company does today, request for pickup.
