FUEL SURCHARGE





INDEX PER MONTH

This is the current fuel surcharge for DHL eCommerce Benelux:

 * December 2024: 13.75%
 * November 2024: 13%
 * October 2024: 13.75%

The above surcharges are linked to the consumer price of diesel fuel (EUR27
standard) in local currency. Levies and taxes, as measured by the
Directorate-General for Energy of the European Commission and published in the
Oil Bulletin, are included. The fuel surcharge is calculated on the
transportation rate and transportation-related additional services and
surcharges.

View Oil Bulletin(link is external)

Diesel price (In € per liter)

Minimum But less than Surcharge € - € 1,20 7.0% € 1,20 € 1,24 7.75% € 1,24 €
1,28 8.50% € 1,28 € 1,32 9.25% € 1,32 € 1,36 10.00% € 1,36 € 1,40 10.75% € 1,40

2,00 € 2,04 22.75% € 2,04 € 2,08 23.50%

Due to the publication dates of fuel prices, we implement the surcharge with a
two-month delay. Therefore, the last fuel price publication of January in the
Oil Bulletin determines the surcharge for March.

DHL eCommerce reserves the right to change the fuel surcharge index and the
associated table without notice.



CUSTOMS FORMS





HELP WITH CUSTOM CLEARANCE

If you ship to a country with customs clearance, your shipment will be checked
by customs in that country. Therefore, it is mandatory to include an invoice
with your shipment. For specific information about documents when shipping to
the UK, please check the Brexit information.

Do your customs forms meet all the requirements? (link is external)

 * Print and combine all the documents for your shipment. This includes
   invoices, a copy of the shipping label, a tax reclaim form, certificates,
   export documents, etc.
 * Keep the copies and attach the original documents to the parcel in a doculope
   (self-adhesive document-enclosed envelope).
 * Do you not create your invoice in My DHL Portal? E-mail a digital copy of all
   the documents to europlus.customs@dhl.com.

Do your customs invoices still not meet the legal requirements? Go to our help
with invoices and we'll quickly help you resolve the problem.

I need help with my invoice(link is external)



DHL SERVICEPOINTS





SHIPPING FROM DHL SERVICEPOINTS

If you ship fewer than 50 parcels per month, just want to send one parcel, or
prefer not to wait for our driver, then dropping off your shipments at a DHL
ServicePoint near you is the handy option. It's free, easy, and you can use it
when it suits you.

Through DHL ServicePoints, you can ship parcels to business and residential
addresses throughout Europe. Create labels with our all-in-one shipping service,
My DHL Portal. The maximum dimensions for shipping via a DHL ServicePoint are
120x60x60 cm (l-w-h) and max. 240 liters (lxbxh / 1000). The maximum weight is
23 kg.

Find a ServicePoint



LABEL PRINTING SERVICE





RETURN YOUR SHIPMENT

If you'd like to plan a return shipment or a shipment for collection but can't
print the shipping label, don't panic: Simply use the label printing service in
our online shipping service My DHL Portal(link is external). You can print the
return label yourself or we'll do it for you for a small fee. The label can then
be attached to the parcel immediately.

We offer a return portal for business senders with a custom shipment solution.
Discuss the options with your account manager.

ultra-modern hubs where you can also send, collect, or return parcels.

The number of shipments increases significantly during the holiday season. We
take this into account and we hope that you do too, as your shipments may be
collected or delivered at a different time. Exceptions such as delays are always
displayed on your dashboard in My DHL Portal. If you want to plan ahead, see our
holiday season planning and our end of the year planning for the Netherlands,
Belgium, and Luxembourg.

REMOTE AREAS





REMOTE AREAS

For some destinations, an additional fee is charged because it is located in a
remote area. This surcharge (Remote Area Surcharge, or RAS) is determined based
on postal code. Download the full list of postal codes in Europe for which RAS
is charged below.

BREXIT





SHIPPING TO THE UNITED KINGDOM

The United Kingdom is a customs territory as of January 1, 2021. You will still
be able to use DHL eCommerce to ship over the North Sea. However, it’s important
to arrange several things if you’re going to ship to the UK. If you have any
questions, please contact Brexit support or see our FAQ.

About invoices(link is external)



ANONYMOUS SENDER





HIDE SHIPPER NAME

We can also apply shipment confidentiality on request. The sender will not be
listed on the shipment label, so that the recipient will not know who it's from.
Select the option "hide sender" when registering your shipment in My DHL
Portal(link is external). This service is at no extra cost. You can use it for
shipments to consumers and business recipients within the Benelux. 



PALLET SHIPPING COSTS





PALLET SHIPPING COSTS

Shipping a pallet via DHL eCommerce offers an efficient and reliable way to send
large and heavy goods within the Netherlands and Europe. You can easily arrange
your pallet shipments through the My DHL Portal. We’ll pick up the pallets from
your location and deliver them within the Benelux by the next business day. With
track and trace, you can monitor your shipments from start to finish. Costs vary
based on weight, dimensions, and destination.

Your pallet can measure up to 120 x 100 x 200 cm (LxWxH) and weigh up to 1,000
kg.

to you.




RECEIVING



AMENDING DELIVERY





CAN THE RECIPIENT MAKE CHANGES TO THE DELIVERY?

Yes, the recipient can do this as soon as we have received your parcel and have
processed it in our sorting center. Usually this is on the evening or morning
before we make it to the recipient's door. They will then be able to move the
delivery time to a different moment. Alternatively, they can have the parcel
delivered to a neighbor or a ServicePoint. We can also leave your parcel at a
safe place around their home. 

In some cases, the recipient may not be able to change the delivery or they will
not be able to pick from all the options. For example, if they need to sign for
receipt or if the parcel is en route to a nearby ServicePoint.



DELIVERY TIMES





TRANSITTIMES FOR YOUR SHIPMENTS

Parcels and pallets sent to the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg will be
delivered the next workday (with the exception of the Dutch Wadden Islands). For
destinations outside of the Benelux, the delivery times depend on the country.
See the list of delivery times per country below.

Delivery times in Europe(link is external)



MISSED DELIVERY





MISSED OUR COURIER?

If you have missed our driver, they'll leave a card notifying you that they'll
try to deliver again the next workday. If there's no one at home on the second
delivery attempt, the driver will leave a card stating that you can collect the
parcel at a DHL sorting center. You have five days in which to collect the
parcel, after which it will be returned to the sender.

If you'd like to plan a third delivery attempt or have the parcel delivered to a
different address, you can arrange this with the sender of your shipment.

Missed our courier options for consumers

If consumers are not at home when we deliver, we'll always leave a card
informing the recipient how to plan in the next delivery time. Read more about
our delivery options.



DELIVERY AT A DHL LOCATION





OUR LOCATIONS ARE AT YOUR SERVICE

Have your shipment delivered to a DHL location and collect it the following
workday. Make sure to bring a valid ID.



BUILDING SITE DELIVERY





LOCATION WITHOUT POSTAL CODE

If you want to deliver a parcel or pallet to a building site, select the option
"building site delivery" when registering your shipment in My DHL Portal. This
service is at no extra cost. Your shipments will arrive at the correct location
without needing a postal code or house number. Just ensure that you enter all
the necessary details. Ask our customer service department about the options.



SIGNATURE UPON RECEIPT





PROOF OF DELIVERY

Whether we're delivering a parcel or pallet at a business, store, or
institution, we always ask for a signature upon receipt. For home delivery to
consumers, we only ask for a signature if the shipper has opted for this option.
The signature is immediately displayed in track and trace.

If the recipient is not at home, a shipment that requires a signature will
normally not be delivered. If the recipient has set up an Agreed Place(link is
external), the courier can place the shipment there. In that case, he makes a
photo as proof, which the shipper can request from our customer service if
necessary. The Agreed Place option is only possible within the Netherlands.

To collect a shipment from a DHL ServicePoint, identification is always
required.



NOT THERE?





BUSINESS DELIVERY OPTIONS

If you're not always at the location to receive a business shipment, you can let
us know about your delivery preferences with an authorization form which you can
request from our driver or customer service department. We offer the following
options: 

Key transfer

If you're not always at your location but would like us to deliver the shipments
at your address anyway, you can give a key to our trustworthy driver to access
the delivery site (for example a garage). 

Delivery at the neighbors

If your business is closed, or if there's not always someone at the location,
you can authorize us to deliver your shipments to your neighbors. You will find
a card in your mailbox with the recipient's name and house number. 

Notification of business hours

If your business is closed on certain days as standard, let us know and we'll
always deliver the following workday.

If consumers are not at home when we deliver, we'll always leave a card
informing the recipient how to plan in the next delivery moment. Read more about
our delivery options.

 



TRACK AND TRACE





FOLLOW YOUR SHIPMENT

Track and trace is an easy-to-use online dashboard with which you and your
recipients can track your shipments. If we've scheduled a delivery time, it'll
be indicated on track and trace. You can access track and trace via our website
or integrate the track and trace service in your online store.

Implement track and trace in your webshop

 



SATURDAY DELIVERY





BUSINESS SHIPMENT SERVICE

We also deliver your business parcels on Saturday. This service is only
available in the Netherlands at a small, extra cost. When registering your
shipment in My DHL Portal, just tick the option for "Saturday delivery." Easy as
pie! We'll collect the parcel on Friday and deliver it the following day. If
something goes wrong and we can't deliver on Saturday, we'll try again the next
workday. This service is not available for shipments to the Wadden Sea Islands
or for pallets.

We deliver Monday through Saturday to consumers across Europe.

Read more about our delivery options




RETURNS



RETURN SHIPMENTS





RETURNING MADE EASY

We even collect pallets and parcels for return from business recipients. The
sender can quickly plan in a return shipment with My DHL Portal or by contacting
our customer service department during office hours. We also collect parcels on
Saturdays in the Netherlands.

If you're sending a business shipment, you can make it easy for your recipients
who can drop off their returns at a DHL ServicePoint. Please note that this is
only possible for parcels up to 23 kg and 120 x 60 x 60 cm (L W H), and a max.
volume of 240 litres (LxWxH / 1000). You can add the return label to the parcel
or e-mail it to the recipient. Your customer can also register the return online
and print the label themselves.

With 5000 DHL ServicePoints, there is always one nearby your customers. You
decide whether to send the return label with the order, to send it via e-mail,
or to let customers request it online. Make it even easier for your customers
and let us collect their return shipments.

Go to return options
 



RETURN SHIPMENT DELAYED OR MISSING





MY RETURN SHIPMENT IS DELAYED OR MISSING

Does your return seem delayed or maybe even missing? In such a case, it is best
to contact the sender.

It is quite possible that they have already received your return physically, but
have not yet processed it administratively. Is the shipment not with them yet?
Then the sender ensures that an investigation is set up. We then check together
with the sender why the return may take longer to process than usual.

Is it a return shipment for which you have purchased a label from us? In that
case, please contact our customer service directly.

FUEL SURCHARGE





INDEX PER MONTH

This is the current fuel surcharge for DHL eCommerce Benelux:

 * December 2024: 13.75%
 * November 2024: 13%
 * October 2024: 13.75%

The above surcharges are linked to the consumer price of diesel fuel (EUR27
standard) in local currency. Levies and taxes, as measured by the
Directorate-General for Energy of the European Commission and published in the
Oil Bulletin, are included. The fuel surcharge is calculated on the
transportation rate and transportation-related additional services and
surcharges.

2,00 € 2,04 22.75% € 2,04 € 2,08 23.50%

Due to the publication dates of fuel prices, we implement the surcharge with a
two-month delay. Therefore, the last fuel price publication of January in the
Oil Bulletin determines the surcharge for March.

DHL eCommerce reserves the right to change the fuel surcharge index and the
associated table without notice.



CUSTOMS FORMS





HELP WITH CUSTOM CLEARANCE

If you ship to a country with customs clearance, your shipment will be checked
by customs in that country. Therefore, it is mandatory to include an invoice
with your shipment. For specific information about documents when shipping to
the UK, please check the Brexit information.

Do your customs forms meet all the requirements? (link is external)

 * Print and combine all the documents for your shipment. This includes
   invoices, a copy of the shipping label, a tax reclaim form, certificates,
   export documents, etc.
 * Keep the copies and attach the original documents to the parcel in a doculope
   (self-adhesive document-enclosed envelope).
 * Do you not create your invoice in My DHL Portal? E-mail a digital copy of all
   the documents to europlus.customs@dhl.com.

Do your customs invoices still not meet the legal requirements? Go to our help
with invoices and we'll quickly help you resolve the problem.

be able to use DHL eCommerce to ship over the North Sea. However, it’s important
to arrange several things if you’re going to ship to the UK. If you have any
questions, please contact Brexit support or see our FAQ.

About invoices(link is external)



ANONYMOUS SENDER





HIDE SHIPPER NAME

We can also apply shipment confidentiality on request. The sender will not be
listed on the shipment label, so that the recipient will not know who it's from.
Select the option "hide sender" when registering your shipment in My DHL
Portal(link is external). This service is at no extra cost. You can use it for
shipments to consumers and business recipients within the Benelux.

SATURDAY DELIVERY



AMENDING DELIVERY





CAN THE RECIPIENT MAKE CHANGES TO THE DELIVERY?

Yes, the recipient can do this as soon as we have received your parcel and have
processed it in our sorting center. Usually this is on the evening or morning
before we make it to the recipient's door. They will then be able to move the
delivery time to a different moment. Alternatively, they can have the parcel
delivered to a neighbor or a ServicePoint. We can also leave your parcel at a
safe place around their home. 

In some cases, the recipient may not be able to change the delivery or they will
not be able to pick from all the options. For example, if they need to sign for
receipt or if the parcel is en route to a nearby ServicePoint.



DELIVERY TIMES





TRANSITTIMES FOR YOUR SHIPMENTS

Parcels and pallets sent to the Netherlands, Belgium, and Luxembourg will be
delivered the next workday (with the exception of the Dutch Wadden Islands). For
destinations outside of the Benelux, the delivery times depend on the country.
See the list of delivery times per country below.

Delivery times in Europe(link is external)



MISSED DELIVERY





MISSED OUR COURIER?

If you have missed our driver, they'll leave a card notifying you that they'll
try to deliver again the next workday. If there's no one at home on the second
delivery attempt, the driver will leave a card stating that you can collect the
parcel at a DHL sorting center. You have five days in which to collect the
parcel, after which it will be returned to the sender.

If you'd like to plan a third delivery attempt or have the parcel delivered to a
different address, you can arrange this with the sender of your shipment.

Missed our courier options for consumers

If consumers are not at home when we deliver, we'll always leave a card
informing the recipient how to plan in the next delivery time. Read more about
our delivery options.



DELIVERY AT A DHL LOCATION





OUR LOCATIONS ARE AT YOUR SERVICE

Have your shipment delivered to a DHL location and collect it the following
workday. Make sure to bring a valid ID.



BUILDING SITE DELIVERY





LOCATION WITHOUT POSTAL CODE

If you want to deliver a parcel or pallet to a building site, select the option
"building site delivery" when registering your shipment in My DHL Portal. This
service is at no extra cost. Your shipments will arrive at the correct location
without needing a postal code or house number. Just ensure that you enter all
the necessary details. Ask our customer service department about the options.



SIGNATURE UPON RECEIPT





PROOF OF DELIVERY

Whether we're delivering a parcel or pallet at a business, store, or
institution, we always ask for a signature upon receipt. For home delivery to
consumers, we only ask for a signature if the shipper has opted for this option.
The signature is immediately displayed in track and trace.

If the recipient is not at home, a shipment that requires a signature will
normally not be delivered. If the recipient has set up an Agreed Place(link is
external), the courier can place the shipment there. In that case, he makes a
photo as proof, which the shipper can request from our customer service if
necessary. The Agreed Place option is only possible within the Netherlands.

To collect a shipment from a DHL ServicePoint, identification is always
required.



NOT THERE?





BUSINESS DELIVERY OPTIONS

If you're not always at the location to receive a business shipment, you can let
us know about your delivery preferences with an authorization form which you can
request from our driver or customer service department. We offer the following
options: 

Key transfer

If you're not always at your location but would like us to deliver the shipments
at your address anyway, you can give a key to our trustworthy driver to access
the delivery site (for example a garage). 

Delivery at the neighbors

If your business is closed, or if there's not always someone at the location,
you can authorize us to deliver your shipments to your neighbors. You will find
a card in your mailbox with the recipient's name and house number. 

Notification of business hours

If your business is closed on certain days as standard, let us know and we'll
always deliver the following workday.

If consumers are not at home when we deliver, we'll always leave a card
informing the recipient how to plan in the next delivery moment. Read more about
our delivery options.

 



TRACK AND TRACE





FOLLOW YOUR SHIPMENT

Track and trace is an easy-to-use online dashboard with which you and your
recipients can track your shipments. If we've scheduled a delivery time, it'll
be indicated on track and trace. You can access track and trace via our website
or integrate the track and trace service in your online store.

Implement track and trace in your webshop

 



SATURDAY DELIVERY





BUSINESS SHIPMENT SERVICE

We also deliver your business parcels on Saturday. This service is only
available in the Netherlands at a small, extra cost. When registering your
shipment in My DHL Portal, just tick the option for "Saturday delivery." Easy as
pie! We'll collect the parcel on Friday and deliver it the following day. If
something goes wrong and we can't deliver on Saturday, we'll try again the next
workday. This service is not available for shipments to the Wadden Sea Islands
or for pallets.

We deliver Monday through Saturday to consumers across Europe.

RETURN SHIPMENT DELAYED OR MISSING



RETURN SHIPMENTS





RETURNING MADE EASY

We even collect pallets and parcels for return from business recipients. The
sender can quickly plan in a return shipment with My DHL Portal or by contacting
our customer service department during office hours. We also collect parcels on
Saturdays in the Netherlands.

If you're sending a business shipment, you can make it easy for your recipients
who can drop off their returns at a DHL ServicePoint. Please note that this is
only possible for parcels up to 23 kg and 120 x 60 x 60 cm (L W H), and a max.
volume of 240 litres (LxWxH / 1000). You can add the return label to the parcel
or e-mail it to the recipient. Your customer can also register the return online
and print the label themselves.

With 5000 DHL ServicePoints, there is always one nearby your customers. You
decide whether to send the return label with the order, to send it via e-mail,
or to let customers request it online. Make it even easier for your customers
and let us collect their return shipments.

RETURN SHIPMENT DELAYED OR MISSING





MY RETURN SHIPMENT IS DELAYED OR MISSING

Does your return seem delayed or maybe even missing? In such a case, it is best
to contact the sender.

It is quite possible that they have already received your return physically, but
have not yet processed it administratively. Is the shipment not with them yet?
Then the sender ensures that an investigation is set up. We then check together
with the sender why the return may take longer to process than usual.

Is it a return shipment for which you have purchased a label from us? In that
case, please contact our customer service directly.
