The founders began to personally ship papers by airplane from San Francisco to Honolulu, beginning customs clearance of the ship’s cargo before the actual arrival of the ship and dramatically reducing waiting time in the harbor. Customers stood to the rapid delivery of documents and shipments by airplane. The DHL Network continued to grow at an incredible pace.
