KINGSTON, Jamaica--()--DHL Express, the world's leading international express services provider, today announced the launch of Express Easy, a new service that brings simple, all-inclusive rates to international shipping.

Each box used for shipping DHL Express Easy, sold as a one-piece shipment, comes with a defined maximum weight and a simple rate based on the shipment’s destination.
