Shipping With Us
What size shipments do you handle?
We generally ship smaller packages. However, the specific weights and sizes limitations vary based on where you are sending the shipment. Check out our Domestic Shipping Services or International Shipping Services for specific sizes and weights.
Where can I ship with DHL eCommerce?
We service the U.S. and more than 220 countries and territories.
For international shipments, how are duties and taxes handled?
The duties and tax settlement depends on the destination country and on the shipping product you choose. For Parcel International Direct, duties and taxes are paid by the merchant. DHL eCommerce pays the duties and taxes and invoices back to the merchant. For our DHL Parcel International Standard and DHL Packet International, any applicable duties and taxes are collected at time of delivery.
Can I add Shipment Value Protection to my shipment?
Many of our products already include Shipment Value Protection up to a certain value. Check out our Domestic Shipping Services or International Shipping Services for more details.
