Singapore, December 5, 2005 — iStyles today announced that DHL will be helping to handle all of the store's standard mail packages through their GlobalMail service.

With the rapid expansion of the iStyles store, the situation has come to a point where it is no longer feasible to perform all the mailroom tasks in-house while still maintaining any decent level of customer service or pricing. Regular airmail also has teething problems such as custom delays, lost and unclaimed packages that need to be resolved.

A complete restructure of the shipping process was thus necessary to ensure greater efficiency and scalability for the future. DHL now handles all the mail collection, sorting, stamping, air delivery, and custom clearances for iStyles.

DHL GlobalMail is significantly more secure and efficient than the standard airmail postal service. DHL will ship the package to the destination country and drop it off in the postal system, leaving the rest of the delivery to the local postal system. With this new shipping structure, iStyles hopes to do away with the delays normally associated with standard airmail and custom clearances; to improve delivery times, while still maintaining shipping cost at the lowest possible rates.

As a bonus, iStyles is now offering free worldwide shipping for all purchases above US$20 for this holiday season. Start shopping now if you want your packages delivered by Christmas (because there will surely be delays during this holiday season no matter what we do).
