Questions about shipping parcels to Belgium?
Take a look at the FAQs below.
Why do I need dimensions to calculate my shipping rate?
Your shipment will be weighed in two ways: the actual weight in kilograms and the volumetric weight, which is calculated based on the dimensions of your package (L x W x H in cm / 4,000).
The higher of the two determines the rate for your shipment. For shipping a large box of feathers, we look at the volumetric weight. A small box of bolts and nuts? Then we take the actual weight in kilograms.
How long will my parcel take to reach its destination?
Delivery time depends on the destination. You parcel will be delivered the next workday within the Benelux. Delivery times differ for shipments to European countries outside of the Benelux. You can view the complete list of transit times here.
How long will the DHL ServicePoint keep my parcel?
Fourteen days at most. As soon as your parcel has been delivered to a collection point, you'll receive a notification and we'll send you a first reminder after two days. You'll then have two weeks to collect it before it's sent back to the sender.
What goods am I not allowed to ship with DHL?
You can send many things, but not everything. For safety reasons, we do not ship dangerous substances, products of extremely high value, fertilizers, etc. Check the full list of prohibited goods.
