Big news from DHL Express! They are making it even easier (and faster) to ship important medical samples by expanding their Medical Express service. Now, there’s a brand-new next-day delivery route from Brazil to the U.S.—and it’s a real game-changer for pharmaceutical and clinical research companies.
In simple words, DHL’s Medical Express service is built for urgent shipments that need extra care, like temperature control. They don’t just move the packages; they also take care of all the tricky paperwork and export rules. Furthermore, they offer dry ice, special temperature-controlled packaging, and super easy online tools to book shipments and order supplies.
The update ensures that samples from Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, and Puerto Rico are delivered to major U.S.labs in under 30 hours after being collected. That’s super helpful for industries where every minute counts!
To make things even smoother, DHL also set up a special customer service center in Brazil with bilingual reps who know exactly how to speed up the process. They even start the export approvals before the samples arrive, meaning clinics have more flexibility for patient visits—and DHL can still ship out samples the same day.
Another cool update: since 2023, DHL shifted its Miami flights to leave in the mornings instead of evenings. Thanks to this change, around 65% of patient samples now reach U.S. labs a whole day earlier!
DHL says these upgrades are all about meeting the growing need for reliable, specialized shipping in healthcare. With their strong international network and deep experience handling medical shipments, they are making life easier for companies moving pharmaceuticals, test kits, and important samples.
And they are not stopping here—DHL recently announced a huge $2 billion investment by 2030 to take their life sciences and healthcare logistics to the next level.
