TNT upgrades next-day delivery service to Germany

TNT has upgraded its international freight service to Germany by offering guaranteed next-day delivery to all postal codes in the country.

   TNT has upgraded its international freight service to Germany by offering guaranteed next-day delivery to all postal codes in the country, as well as an optional delivery before noon nationwide.
   Both services are available for parcels and heavier freight shipments.
   Germany is Europe’s largest express delivery market and TNT’s top destination for international deliveries.
   “The upgrade will allow the company’s customers to reach 10 percent of the German territory one day faster. It represents a doubling of the number of locations that can be reached before noon,” the Dutch express carrier said.
   In the automotive sector, for example, spare parts delivered before noon can be used for repair work that same afternoon.
   The upgrade builds on several other service improvements made by TNT in recent months, including investments in its European road network and the company’s air hub in Liege, Belgium. In November 2014, TNT began a new daily overnight flight between Liege and Hanover, Germany. Other network upgrades, such as changes to road delivery operations, depot connectivity and operational processes were also implemented across the region.
