Emirates witnesses inbound e-commerce boom
"Emirates Delivers", the e-commerce delivery platform launched by the freight division of Emirates some six months ago, has witnessed a month on month jump of 20% in shipments delivered in March and April 2020. Targeted at individual shoppers and small businesses in the UAE, the shipping solution permits consolidation of purchases from multiple online retailers in the USA into a single package and have it delivered to an address in the UAE.
Nabil Sultan, Emirates Divisional SVP, Cargo: "We stand by our customers in the UAE during these challenging times to help deliver their valuable shipments from online retailers in the USA. Our customers can make use of the 30 day free storage offer in the USA and take advantage of the most attractive offers on various e-commerce sites to save on individual shipping costs through competitive shipping rates."
