USPS Signs Multiyear Deal to Solidify DHL Ties
The agreement extends a 25-year partnership and gives DHL eCommerce more predictable access to USPS delivery capacity, officials said.
- On Thursday, the United States Postal Service announced a multi-year agreement with DHL eCommerce valued at over $10 billion, extending a partnership of over 25 years.
- Postmaster General David Steiner seeks to expand the agency's revenue base, while the arrangement allows DHL to avoid building extensive last-mile infrastructure, a dynamic Steiner called a "total win-win."
- DHL eCommerce manages parcel sorting through 19 automated hubs, while the Postal Service leverages its network to reach 170 million households six days per week.
- Americas CEO Scott Ashbaugh said the multi-year commitment provides "really for the first time" predictability for clients, while Steiner emphasized the agency remains the "best last-mile provider by default."
- With plans to potentially double its business by 2030, DHL sees the postal network as optimal for serving communities efficiently while supporting commitments to reducing emissions.
