Parcel Delivery Drop Off with DHL Express

Convenience in shipping is paramount. DHL Express understands this need and offers an easy drop-off courier service for your parcels. Whether you’re a business owner sending products or an individual shipping gifts, understanding how to efficiently use DHL Express’ drop-off services can save you time and hassle. This guide will walk you through the process, highlighting the role of MyDHL+ in making your experience smoother.

Step 1: Preparing for drop-off

Creating an air waybill with MyDHL+

To prepare for your drop-off at DHL Express, you will need to generate an air waybill (AWB), a crucial document associated with your shipment. The AWB contains all the necessary instructions and information about the contents and characteristics of your shipment for transportation.

The details you provide in the waybill will be used for customs clearance to ensure they match the actual contents of your box or package, as well as the shipping invoice. It also serves as proof of ownership for any DHL package based on the sender and recipient details.

Creating a waybill is a simple process with DHL Express's user-friendly platform, MyDHL+. Here are the steps to create a waybill:

Log in to your MyDHL+ account.
Enter the required shipping details for your shipment:
- Duties & taxes: Unless you choose the duties & taxes paid (DTP) service, the recipient will be responsible for paying them. If no selection is made, the default is duties & taxes unpaid (DTU).
- Weight and dimensions: The weight and dimensions you declare for your DHL Express package may be re-weighed, and you will be charged accordingly if necessary.
- Shipper's address: Provide accurate details for the shipper's address, including your name or your company's name, telephone or mobile number, email address, and complete mailing address with the postal code.
- Receiver's address: Include the recipient's name (company or individual), a valid contact person, contact number, email address, and complete mailing address with the postal code.
The platform will generate a printable AWB for you.
Once the waybill is generated, attach it to the exterior of your shipment package.
Whether you're using a DHL Express box or envelope, make sure the waybill is securely attached.

Here’s how a completed AWB looks
