Ship and return using a DHL Locker

Sending and returning packages is easy using a DHL Locker. Just make sure to include a shipping or return label. Don't have a return label? Create and print one online.

Go to your nearest DHL Locker, scan the barcode, put your parcel in the locker, close it and confirm your action. You'll receive an email from us with your shipping receipt. Easy peasy!

If you neither have a label nor a printer, you can drop off your parcel at a DHL ServicePoint.
