DHL Targets SMEs With New Domestic Shipping Service

DHL Express has launched a new domestic shipping service in Nigeria aimed at small and medium-sized enterprises, online retailers and individuals seeking a more affordable option for sending parcels within the country.

The service, known as Domestic Select, is designed for customers who do not require urgent delivery but still want a reliable and structured shipping option.

DHL said the new service would provide businesses with greater flexibility in managing domestic deliveries while helping them control logistics costs.

The launch comes as Nigeria’s e-commerce and small-business sectors continue to expand, increasing demand for dependable delivery services across different parts of the country.

The company said Domestic Select would be particularly useful for SMEs and online retailers that regularly send products to customers outside their immediate locations.

For individual customers, the service also provides an alternative for sending parcels domestically without paying the premium associated with faster express delivery options.

DHL said the initiative was developed to support the growing needs of businesses and consumers operating within Nigeria’s domestic market.

The company has continued to expand its logistics offerings as businesses increasingly rely on delivery networks to reach customers and move goods between different cities.

The new service is expected to strengthen intra-Nigeria trade by making domestic shipping more accessible to smaller businesses that may have previously found logistics costs challenging.

For online retailers, dependable delivery is particularly important because customers increasingly expect businesses to provide convenient options for receiving purchased goods.

DHL said the new offering would help businesses improve their delivery operations while allowing them to focus resources on other aspects of their operations.

The company also positioned Domestic Select as part of its broader commitment to supporting Nigerian businesses and responding to changing customer needs.

With SMEs accounting for a significant part of business activity in Nigeria, improved domestic logistics could help businesses expand beyond their immediate markets and reach customers in other parts of the country.

The new service therefore provides another shipping option for Nigerian businesses and individuals, particularly those sending parcels where speed is less critical than affordability and reliability.
