DHL Express has struck a strategic deal with Singapore Post (SingPost) to make international shipping easier and cleaner for consumers and small businesses across the city-state, adding DHL services to every post office and enabling daily parcel drop-offs without extra fees. The rollout follows a 14-outlet pilot that began in March 2025, during which DHL drop-offs at SingPost counters doubled.
Under the partnership, customers can ship with DHL at any SingPost outlet and still tap DHL’s existing network of four service centres, more than 160 retail drop-off points and nearly 1,500 locker pick-up locations islandwide—significantly widening access ahead of the year-end peak.
Every shipment tendered through SingPost includes complimentary enrollment in DHL’s GoGreen Plus program, which reduces lifecycle emissions by using sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) under a “book-and-claim” model. DHL recently committed to purchasing 9.5 million liters of SAF produced in Singapore—its first such supply for international flights departing Changi—supporting one of the largest air-cargo SAF arrangements in Asia.
Industry outlets noted the tie-up also standardizes access to emission-reduced options at no added cost to shippers, while keeping the convenience of post-office drop-offs. Reporting from Air Cargo News added that SAF allocations are expected to cover roughly 35%–40% of the fuel needs for DHL Express’s five Boeing 777 freighters based at the South Asia Hub at Changi.
The collaboration underscores a broader shift in Singapore’s parcel market: SingPost has been opening its post-office counters to multiple global carriers, after expanding a similar parcel drop-off arrangement with FedEx across all post offices in May 2025. For SingPost, the strategy leverages its nationwide footprint while deepening cross-border capabilities for merchants; for carriers like DHL, it creates denser, more predictable first-mile flows.
DHL and SingPost executives framed the alliance as both a convenience upgrade and a sustainability nudge. By pairing universal post-office access with default SAF-backed shipping and recyclable, FSC-certified packaging available at counters, the partners aim to normalize lower-emissions choices in the mainstream parcel journey—without forcing customers to change their routines.
