This cross-border express delivery service revolutionized the industry when its founders thought up a way to increase turnaround speed for ships at ports. They reasoned that if shipping documents could be flown from port to port, they could be examined and processed before the ships arrived. Sending the paperwork beforehand not only improved efficiency but also decreased port costs for shippers.
Although DHL delivered to Ukraine in Soviet times, it opened an office here after the country gained independence in 1991. Today, DHL’s global network encompasses more than 120,000 destinations in over 220 countries, including Ukraine. Easily identified by their bright orange background color and red lettering, the company has become a global leader with Federal Expresss and United Parcel Service.
