The short answer
There is no fixed answer to whether DHL or DPD costs less. Each uses its own weight classes and size limits. Being just below or above a boundary can change the result. Compare each shipment: the next parcel may suit a different carrier.
Weight classes and size limits
Weigh the finished parcel including its box, cushioning and tape. Select a weight class covering the actual weight and measure the outside dimensions at the widest points. Do not enter a lower weight or smaller dimensions to fit a service.
Large or long parcels may fall outside standard limits or incur carrier adjustments. The comparison uses the details entered; carrier conditions and physical checks still apply.
Delivery method and destination
Home and service-point delivery are not available with every service. Check the method shown for the option before booking. A service requiring a recipient service point needs an eligible location selected during checkout.
Availability differs by country and postcode. Select the actual destination to compare bookable connected services and the carrier’s estimated transit time. An estimate is not a delivery guarantee.
Handing over your parcel
Print and attach the label when it is ready. Use a suitable handover location belonging to the carrier shown on the label. Search by postcode, town or address in the drop-off locator.
Opening hours are not the same as final collection time. Ask the location about collection for your service and keep the handover receipt until delivery is confirmed.
Guest and business shipping
You can book as a guest; an account is optional and helps you find shipments later. You do not need a separate contract with the selected carrier.
Select Business to see prices excluding and including VAT. Monthly invoicing requires explicit account approval; regular volume does not automatically grant credit or a discount.
