FAQs for shipping packages
-
- With a bill of lading, we know where your shipments are going to go, what services you need and how you'll pay.
- Waybill determines the conditions of carriage that we offer.
- The Waybill is not proof of postage. It contains a unique number, thanks to which you can check the route of the shipment on our website.
-
The volumetric weight of the shipment reflects the volume of the shipment. A lightweight, large shipment can take up more cargo space than a heavy, small package. We calculate the volumetric weight and compare it with the actual weight of the shipment. Transport costs are calculated on the basis of a higher weight.
-
At DHL, we want to use the cargo space of our cars efficiently in order to be able to offer you better prices for our services. That's why we've introduced a volumetric weight converter.
Volumetric weight calculation formula: length x width x height (in cm) divided by 4000. We get the result in kg. We compare the result obtained with the actual weight of the shipment and take a higher weight for the valuation. We also encourage our customers to pack goods more economically. This will reduce the size of the shipment and therefore the cost of transporting it. -
We recommend that you pack shipments weighing up to 31.5 kg in a cardboard box of regular shapes, filled inside with bubble wrap, polystyrene or other filler.
Shipments sent on the pallet should be securely attached and protected against sliding during transport. -
Given the capacity and size of our cars, the maximum dimensions are:
- for consignments up to 31,5 kg, the sum of the dimensions (length+width+height) must not exceed 300 cm, the longest side not exceeding 200 cm
- for consignments over 31,5 kg, the sum of the dimensions (length+width+height) must not exceed 600 cm, the longest side not exceeding 400 cm
- for consignments where one of the sides of the base exceeds 200 cm and is shorter than 400 cm, the weight must not exceed 50 kg
Please note that shipments over 50 kg must be carried on a pallet.

Shipments weighing up to 31.5 kg are delivered on the next business day as standard.
