DHL express brings to 11 African countries over 200 global stores with the new online shopping platform, DHL Africa eShop. The new platform addresses the challenges to accelerate growth of e-commerce in sub-Saharan Africa with shipments delivered by DHL to the shoppers door.
Customers will be able to shop directly from more than 200 US and UK-based online retailers including Amazon and popular clothes brands like Ralph Lauren and the service is currently available in 11 African markets including Uganda. Other countries include South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, Mauritius, Ghana, Senegal, Rwanda, Malawi, Botswana and Sierra Leone.
The solution was developed in partnership with Link commerce, a division of Mall for Africa which had worked with DHL in past African projects and payments on the platform will be handled by local fintech platforms like Paga and M-Pesa.
