CTT and DHL Launch €17.49 Europe Shipping Service

Fast and Affordable Shipping Across Europe

Portugal's national postal and logistics giant CTT has launched a groundbreaking service in partnership with German logistics leader DHL. The new offering allows packages up to 20kg to be sent to 23 European countries at prices starting from €17.49. This competitive pricing structure provides a significant advantage for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and individual senders looking to expand their reach across the continent.

3-Day Delivery and Flexible Pickup Options

One of the standout features of this new service is its speed, with estimated delivery times as fast as 3 business days. This rapid turnaround is a critical advantage for intra-European trade. Recipients have the flexibility to choose between home delivery or collection from DHL's extensive network of 'ServicePoint' locations, catering to busy schedules and enhancing customer convenience.

Strategic Goals of the CTT-DHL Alliance

João Sousa, a CTT board member, described the initiative as a 'crucial step in realizing the strategic partnership between CTTexpress and DHL.' Sousa emphasized the goal of providing a more competitive international offering by leveraging one of Europe's most robust logistics networks. The collaboration aims not only to serve consumers but also to enhance logistics capacity in the Iberian Peninsula, facilitating the international expansion of Portuguese companies. By combining CTT's local proximity with DHL's international expertise, the partnership addresses the growing dynamics of cross-border e-commerce.
