Q: Can I use my own DHL Express contract?
A: Yes. Activate your DHL Express contract in MyWuunder and see exactly what you pay per service. Express carriers fall outside our Resell offering, so you always operate on your own DHL Express agreement.
Q: Where does DHL Express deliver?
A: DHL Express covers nearly the entire globe with its own aircraft and trucks. The sweet spot is time-sensitive B2B deliveries across Europe, though residential addresses are served too. Notable: their express network also handles pallets.
Q: Can I combine DHL Express with other carriers?
A: Yes. Deploy DHL Express alongside TNT, FedEx, UPS and standard parcel services. Your shipping rules decide per order which service wins: by transit time, weight, or destination.
Q: Can I display DHL Express rates in my checkout?
A: Yes. Wuunder Checkout passes live DHL Express pricing through to your customer, fuel, import duties, and dimensional surcharges included. No hidden costs at checkout.
Q: Can I display DHL Express delivery times in my checkout?
A: Yes. Wuunder Checkout lets your customer pick a delivery day. Wuunder selects the fastest DHL Express service that fits within your cut-off, weekends, and public holidays. For DHL Express points we show location, distance, and opening hours.
Q: Can I use DHL Express in combination with PuzzlPack?
A: Yes. PuzzlPack locks in the optimal box size before rates are calculated. Essential for express: volumetric weight drives the price, so compact packaging saves money immediately.
Q: How is collection arranged if I use DHL Express ad-hoc?
A: The moment you generate a label, Wuunder schedules a pickup automatically. DHL Express sends their own drivers, often the same business day.
Q: How do I track DHL Express shipments?
A: DHL Express scans at every hub in their network. Wuunder Track consolidates those scans into clear status notifications for you and your customer: collection, customs clearance, transit, and delivery. Connect via API to your helpdesk or WMS.
Q: Can I handle returns via DHL Express?
A: Yes. Customers bring parcels to a DHL Express point or have them collected at home (not available everywhere). Through Wuunder Returns you give them a branded return portal with the option to exchange instead of refund, protecting your conversion.
