DHL Express Tracking
DHL Express Tracking is a service offered by DHL, which allows customers to track their shipments online through a unique tracking number. This tracking system provides real-time information about the status of the shipment as it moves through the DHL network, including details such as the current location, expected delivery date, and any delays or issues that may arise.
Customers can access their tracking information online or by contacting DHL Express Customer Service. However, all the information provided by customer service agents is also available online. Therefore, customers can track their shipments anytime, anywhere through the DHL tracker.
DHL is the world's first international door-to-door delivery service founded in 1969. It was established with the idea of delivering shipping documents by air, so they would arrive at customs before the freight itself, saving shipping companies days or even weeks. Since then, DHL has expanded its operations to become a leading express service provider, transporting urgent documents and goods reliably and on time from door to door across the globe.
DHL's global network spans more than 220 countries and territories, with over 100,000 employees serving 2.7 million customers. As an express service provider, DHL operates a flexible global network that includes several airlines, allowing it to respond quickly to fluctuating demand and ensure reliable transportation for its customers.
DHL Tracking System
- DHL has to reuse shipment waybill numbers from time to time due to operational reasons, which can lead to situations where our systems contain information for two shipments that are traveling with the same waybill number. Although DHL is making efforts to prevent such occurrences, it may still happen occasionally. However, please rest assured that despite this potentially confusing situation, your physical shipment will be sent to its intended destination and will receive the same level of careful handling as any other shipment in our network.
- The destinations for Pickup and Delivery displayed on DHL Express tracking results correspond to the location of the service station that arranged the pickup or delivery. However, rest assured that your shipment is still being delivered to the location you specified on the waybill when you sent it.
