Ship with DPD Germany
DPD Germany (DPD Deutschland GmbH) reaches every German address through its own road network and 10,300 Pickup Paketshops. With Predict, your customer knows within a 2-hour window when the parcel arrives, narrowing to 30 minutes just before the driver rings.
With Wuunder, you book DPD Germany shipments from MyWuunder or via the API. Wuunder Ship automatically weighs them against your other German carriers, with no shipping rules needed.
Use your own DPD Germany contract
DPD Germany runs on your own contract with DPD Deutschland. Already have a contract and a Kundennummer (customer number)? Contact our team to connect it. After that, you book at your own rates in MyWuunder and see your DPD Germany rates next to other carriers, surcharges included.
In Germany, DPD often sits alongside DHL for Packstations, Hermes Germany for cost-efficient B2C parcels and GLS for business shipments. Also shipping from the Netherlands or Belgium?
Wuunder also connects directly with DPD Netherlands and DPD Belgium, so you manage all your DPD countries in one platform. Each shipment is compared on price, transit time, destination, dimensions and weight. Read more about the German parcel market on shipping to Germany.

Well-prepared without extra delivery time
DPD Germany works with girth (Gurtmaß): (height + width) x 2 + longest side. The longest side also counts on its own.
| Max. length | Max. weight | Max. girth | |
|---|---|---|---|
| DPD Business | 175 cm | 31,5 kg | 300 cm |
| DPD Home | 175 cm | 31,5 kg | 300 cm |
| DPD ShopReturn | 100 cm | 20 kg | 250 cm |
| DPD 2Shop | 100 cm | 20 kg | 250 cm |
Watch the conveyor limit: is your parcel longer than 120 cm, wider or taller than 60 cm, or over 150 litres? DPD then charges an NC (non-conveyable) surcharge. Use PuzzlPack to calculate the right box size upfront, and read our packaging guidelines.
