Absolutely fuss free service.

I had to ship a hard to come by part from Slovakia to the UK and it went very smoothly by booking on the Parcelhero website. I liked the layout and simplicity of the customs form, having done it a few times before this was by far the smoothest it's gone.

Very easy to use

Very easy to use. Had to arrange a collection for an item in Denmark with delivery back to UK.

Jeremy Fry

So far so good, no problems

So far so good. Parcel arrived as expected, and they let you know when it has arrived, unlike Interparcel who do not communicate arrivals. It will be interesting to see how they perform if there is a problem.

It is true ! You truly are a ParcelHero

Package picked up and arrived at destination 24 hours later. Tracked the package through all its pickup and drop off locations - superb ! You truly are a Parcel Hero - Thank you

Labels and paperwork

Most DHL services require you to print the shipping labels, however we do also offer 'No printer' services. For most destinations, DHL submits the customs invoices electronically, so you don’t need to print them.

Packaging

Packaging your items safely for transportation is important when sending internationally. If you are sending luggage you also need to remove or protect the wheels.

Tracking your parcel

Track your DHL parcel door to door, simply visit our tracking page to get started.

DHL Customs clearance

If the recipient is required to pay import duty, DHL charge a 'disbursement fee' for paying those charges to customs and processing payment from the receiver. The fee varies from country to country, in the UK the fee is currently £11 or 2.5% (whichever is greater) of the total duty and VAT payable.

DHL prices and surcharges

We're often asked whether our cheap prices are too good to be true. Well, the good news is all our prices include all applicable surcharges. DHL apply surcharges for items over 70kg in weight and 120 cm in length, so if your item is close to that, be very careful to enter accurate information to avoid additional charges being applied by DHL when they audit your shipment.

Prohibited items

Unlike some carriers, DHL can ship personal effects, including clothing, shoes, electronics and even passports. However, there are lots of items that DHL cannot ship, and some of them may not be so obvious, including food to the EU, power banks, and cash. Always check the prohibited list prior to shipping, to avoid the risk of your package being returned. It's also worth noting that some countries prohibit particular items from being shipped, so if you’re sending something obscure or rare, it's worth checking with the local customs authority prior to shipping.
