DHL to provide international express delivery services for Stretchy Shapes
DHL will now provide international express delivery services for Stretchy Shapes, a provider of upscale, durable collectible fun-shaped bracelets, to meet the demand from retailers for its products by expediting Stretchy Shapes' imports from Asia to the US market.
Stretchy Shapes' original distribution process involves a forwarding agent, which results in a delivery time of 8 to 12 days from its factories in China to the company's US warehouse, whereas with DHL Express the delivery is done in two to three days, as much as a 75% time savings in international delivery cycles.
After pickup at the factories in Xiamen, China, DHL transports Stretchy Shapes' bracelets to its hub in Hong Kong, clears US Customs at its Cincinnati hub, and delivers them to the company's headquarters and distribution center in Birmingham, Alabama.
Stretchy Shapes currently generates weekly shipments totaling 3.6 million bracelets to retailers and distributors across the US.
