Pack and go
Packaging made simple
Fragile goods need to be packaged differently from a book, of course. Whatever you wish to send, remember that better packaging means safer shipping. So make sure you use a suitable box, secure any loose bits, and protect fragile goods with some padding.

Frequently asked questions
We're there to help as soon as we can. We've put together a list of FAQs that may just provide an answer to your question.
What padding should I use in my parcel?
To keep shipping costs low, you should use – or even reuse – lightweight materials such as scrunched paper or egg cartons. You can also keep the air cushions that many online stores use as filling material. This is not only sustainable, but also looks professional.
Where can I deliver my parcel?
You can drop off your parcel at one of our 4800 DHL ServicePoints. Find a DHL ServicePoint near you.
