Six More Countries Added to Network
TNT Express, the world's leading B2B express delivery company, has added a further six countries, including Pakistan, to its 'Express Import' service, which allows customers to arrange collections from an overseas client and pay for delivery in their own currency. It also enables customers to send shipments overseas and have the recipients pay for the transaction in their local currency.
Other countries now joining the network include Ghana, Nicaragua, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Netherlands Antilles.
"The Express Import network stands at well over 100 countries and it is TNT's intention to continue the expansion until it reaches every country in the world," said Mark Pell, TNT's Managing Director, Gulf.
Customers using Express Import can send consignments with TNT's 9.00 express, 12.00 express, Global express and Economy express services. They can follow their consignments' progress with TNT's web-based track-and-trace system and gain simplicity and control of delivery and costs through a single invoice.
