DHL expands operations with new retail store in Atlanta area

DHL Express, the world’s leading provider of international shipping services, recently opened a new company-owned and operated retail shipping store in Tucker, Georgia. The 1,118 sq. ft. DHL ServicePoint facility is the first fully-branded, DHL owned and operated store in Georgia, offering convenient access to its industry-leading shipping services in the greater Atlanta area.

“Atlanta has a vibrant, international community, with thousands of businesses looking to establish or expand their global presence,” said Aaron Gallagher, SVP Commercial for DHL Express U.S. “The Atlanta area is the ideal market for the next DHL-owned retail location, where we can provide local customers with more accessible options and accommodate their growing international shipping needs.”

Local consumer shipping activity has accelerated in the last year, with not only many new businesses, but also a sizeable immigrant community that relies on international shipping to stay connected to their native countries, such as Mexico, India, Jamaica, Korea and Guatemala . The new ServicePoint, conveniently at 4450 Hugh Howell Road, Tucker, GA 30084, will provide customers with more accessible options and accommodate their growing international shipping needs.

This new ServicePoint features time- or day-definite international and domestic U.S. shipping services for both account and non-account holders. From packing to preparing paperwork, DHL’s Certified International Specialists make it easy to import into the U.S., export to over 220 countries and territories – or ship to almost anywhere within the U.S. Customers can also track shipments and manage delivery options with DHL On-Demand Delivery, all through the DHL mobile app.

The new facility also offers both staffed assistance and self-service kiosk, as well as supplies such as bubble wrap, packing tape and DHL-branded boxes for an enhanced customer retail experience.

In addition to new company-owned stores, over 3,500 independently owned DHL ServicePoint Partner stores also operate in the U.S. market. They offer DHL Express international express shipping services, global knowledge and expert advice to help businesses reach the international marketplace.
