JOURNEY OF AN INTERNATIONAL PARCEL DELIVERY

Before our driver comes to collect your parcel(s), you would have booked your parcel delivery using our SHIP platform or API, completing all the necessary customs data and whether you’ve sold the items with delivery duty paid (DDP) or with delivery duty unpaid/delivered at place (DDU/DAP). See the table above to find out which services offer DDP and DDU/DAP. Below we detail how your parcel(s) travel from your business to your customer – all in a matter of days*!

Step 1

Attach your label and commercial invoice to each parcel.

Step 2

DHL eCommerce UK driver scans and collects all parcels from your registered business address / ServicePoint or Depot (depending on your drop off/collection preferences).

Step 3

Parcels scanned at your nearest DHL eCommerce UK Depot.

Step 4

Parcels trunked to the national DHL eCommerce UK Hub in Coventry - parcels are scanned and received into the International gateway where they undergo checks and denied party screening.

Step 5
