Well-prepared: DPD dimensions and weights

DPD applies different limits per service for dimensions, weight and girth. Exceed the standard specs? A Non-Standard Parcel (NSP) surcharge applies. 

For parcels above 20 kg, use the DPD heavy-sticker (request via this form). Place the sticker next to the shipping label or on a corner of the parcel so it is visible from multiple sides. 

With PuzzlPack you calculate exact packaging dimensions upfront, so you never unexpectedly end up in a higher weight or size bracket.

Get access to the database we maintain with 120,000 different transport services including transit times, delivery options, service features, and shipping costs. You can also use the rates from your own DPD contract.

Max. dimensions Max. weight Max. girth
DPD Business 130x130x130 cm 20 kg 300 cm
DPD Home 130x130x130 cm 20 kg 300 cm
DPD Parcelletter 38x26x3 cm 1 kg 96 cm
DPD Express 130x130x130 cm 20 kg 300 cm

DPD delivers six days a week

DPD delivers Monday through Friday to business and residential addresses. In the Benelux and Germany, DPD also delivers to consumers on Saturdays at no extra cost. 

With DPD Predict, your customer receives a notification on the morning of the delivery day with a 1-hour delivery window. If the time does not suit them, the recipient can easily change the day, redirect to a neighbour or choose pickup at a DPD Parcelshop via the link in the email. 

If the first delivery attempt to a business address fails, DPD tries again for free. Track every DPD shipment from pickup to delivery via Wuunder Track.

DPD NL pickup: free from 300 shipments per month

Shipping more than 300 parcels per month? DPD picks up daily at your business address in the Netherlands at a fixed time, free of charge. Below that threshold, drop off your shipments at a nearby DPD Parcelshop or locker. Pickup via Wuunder is available in the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany and Poland.

Shipping with DPD from the Netherlands

From the Netherlands, DPD reaches all of Europe through its own road network, with a single track & trace from pickup to delivery. Wuunder generates customs documents automatically based on your shipment data, and outside the EU you choose between DDP or DAP. Please note: services and transit times vary per destination country. Read more about shipping to Germany and shipping to Belgium.

Increase your customer's choice with DPD pickup points

Give your customers ultimate convenience by offering DPD Pickup parcelshops at checkout. With over 120,000 Pickup points and lockers across Europe, including thousands in the Netherlands, Belgium, and Germany, there’s always a location nearby. 

Easily integrate the parcelshop locator into your webshop, letting shoppers select their preferred pickup point themselves during the checkout process. This flexible delivery method improves the shopping experience and helps drive conversion for your business.

Create extra security in your delivery process

DPD insures every parcel within Europe up to €520 as standard. For higher-value shipments, add supplementary transport insurance per shipment. For alcohol or other age-restricted products, choose delivery with age check.

Always include company name, contact person, phone number and email address on your shipment. DPD uses these details to inform your recipient about the delivery window via Predict. Without them, DPD cannot send notifications and the chance of a failed first attempt goes up. For business addresses DPD makes a free second attempt; residential parcels are redirected to the nearest DPD Parcelshop.

Climate-neutral shipping

DPD delivers all parcels climate-neutrally, investing in renewable energy and clean generation projects to offset any remaining emissions. Sustainable delivery comes standard, helping you reduce your organization’s carbon footprint.
