Weights and Dimensions
| Can I estimate the size and weight of a parcel? |
Accuracy is important, so if you have to estimate, try to be as accurate as possible.
- DHL reweighs and measures all parcels once they arrive at our service centers.
- If your estimated weight and dimensions are inaccurate, it may result in additional charges.
Packaging
