Well-prepared without extra delivery time
Hermes Germany does not charge by weight but by dimensions: the sum of the longest and shortest side determines the parcel class (Paketklasse).
| Type pakket | Langste + kortste zijde | Max. gewicht |
|---|---|---|
| XS | up to 30 cm | 31,5 kg |
| S | up to 50 cm | 31,5 kg |
| M | up to 80 cm | 31,5 kg |
| L | up to 120 cm | 31,5 kg |
| XL | up to 180 cm (longest side max. 120 cm) | 31,5 kg |
| Bulky goods (Sperrgut) | up to 200 x 80 x 80 cm | 31,5 kg |
Minimum dimensios: 15 x 10 x 1 cm, minimum weight 200 grams.
Because Hermes Germany charges by dimensions, a smaller box can drop you a full parcel class. Read our packaging guidelines to avoid bulky goods (Sperrgut) surcharges and damage.
