This research could serve as a base for further investigation and improvement on the DHL express in Eritrea. Enhance our understanding of digital system and consumers driving. Moreover, it will contribute to the understanding of whether consumer are accepted and satisfied the digital transformation system in a developing country context. This research could also serve as a base for anyone who wants to study about how much consumers are accepted the digital transformation driving on them without any compliment on Postal Express service delivered in Eritrea.
