COVID-19 IN POLAND CUSTOMER INFORMATION

See how we work during a pandemic

Due to the Coronavirus situation, DHL eCommerce is taking enhanced precautions in all areas of its business. All preventive actions we carry out are aimed at protecting health and maximal reducing the risks associated with the current situation. The safety of our customers and employees is our absolute priority.

We have equipped all locations with disinfectants and non-contact thermometers. In addition, procedures related to the disinfection of infrastructure elements are introduced in our facilities. We also conduct educational activities for all employees and the DHL eCommerce courier team.

Our couriers have been given detailed instructions on how to take increased precautions in the current situation. Among them is physical contact, e.g. by not giving hands to greet. In addition, we have put in place appropriate system and organisational arrangements for remote work and increased precautions for monitoring and dealing with all persons who have made a foreign trip, both to who's list countries and others.

We have developed precise contingency plans and emergency procedures. Thanks to this, we are able to provide our customers with continuity of services. In the event that there is a need for an emergency shutdown from the operational process of the selected unit, each of the facilities shall be adapted to take over the handling of additional shipments in such a situation.

Senders of shipments are kindly asked to pay special attention to the correctness and completeness of the contact details (email, telephone number) of the recipients. This data is necessary to enable recipients to forward the shipment to another address or to DHL eCommerce ServicePoints.

We ensure that we monitor the official communications of the Ministry of Health, the WHO and the Chief Sanitary Inspector on an ongoing basis and take appropriate action.

We will keep you updated on any possible organizational changes.

Information on domestic shipments

In Poland, the operational network operates unchanged, which means that all national locations operate as before.

In May, we introduced an additional form of secure collection of shipments. As before, parcel recipients are not required to sign on the courier scanner. To confirm the receipt of the shipment is enough - so far - give the courier the name of the person receiving the package or PIN received in the notification (NEW!), and the courier himself will enter this data into the system. You can transfer the pickup PIN to another person so that they can conveniently pick up the package for you.

Parcel Drop Off & Collection Points:

UNTIL 97% of 10,000 DHL eCommerce ServicePoints are active and you can safely and quickly pick up or give a package on the occasion of purchases – without the need to leave the house specifically for the collection of the package.

Our points comply with all recommendations of the Chief Sanitary Inspector, such as: protection measures, disinfection or safe distance.

Now you can pick up your shipment without having to enter your PIN on the terminal – just enter your merchant PIN and you're done.

Security

We have equipped all operating units with gloves, masks and disinfectants. We also test other solutions to support couriers in hygiene. Our couriers have received detailed recommendations for the introduction of special precautions. Among them is m.in. limiting physical contact and maintaining an adequate distance, as recommended. We also run a wide educational campaign among couriers so that they responsibly monitor their health and follow the recommendations of the administrative authorities. In response to market needs arising from the current situation, we have also introduced an alternative form of proof of service. Parcel recipients are no longer required to sign on the courier scanner to confirm receipt of the shipment.
We encourage you to:

online payment – it is currently the most recommended and safest solution,
organise so that the packages to be delivered, which the courier should pick up, are pre-prepared and await pick-up at the place closest to the entrance so that the courier stays in the building as soon as possible,
maintain a safe distance when receiving or sending a shipment to a courier.
We have modified the process of confirming receipt of the shipment in the case of parcels, on delivery, which requires the customer's personal signature:

we do not obtain a personal signature at the courier terminal. The courier will check the identity of the consignee in accordance with the procedures agreed with the sender and enter the name of the recipient in the terminal himself,
however, we will continue to ask the recipient to hand-sign the documents contained in the shipment.
All DHL eCommerce Customer Service Centres are equipped with sanitizer liquid dispensers. We encourage customers and staff to use these preparations. In addition, we have implemented the obligation to regularly disinfect payment terminals and pens intended for use by customers. In visible places, information was displayed about how many people can be at the Customer Service Point at one time and at what distance from the counter they should be located.

Operational infrastructure preparedness

We have developed precise contingency plans and emergency procedures. As a result, we have become largely operationally independent of external factors.

We a wide network of operational facilities that cover the whole of Poland territorially. In the event of an emergency shutdown from the operational process of an entity, each site shall be adapted to take over the handling of additional shipments.
