Here are the answers to the questions we hear most
DHL Freight is available exclusively to business customers with a valid VAT number – whether you're a start-up, a small business owner, or an established mid-sized company.
DHL Freight offers you the flexibility to ship goods from a single pallet all the way to a full truckload.
LTL (Less than truckload) - Best for small shipments (e.g. single pallets). Your goods share truck space with other shipments, so you only pay for the space you use.
PTL (Partial truckload) - Ideal for medium-sized shipments that are too large for LTL but don’t fill a full truck. Offers more space and fewer stops than LTL.
FTL (Full truckload) - Used when your shipment fills an entire truck. Goods go directly from pickup to delivery, making it the fastest and most direct option.
Transit times depend on your origin and destination. Share your route with us and we'll give you an accurate estimate straight away.
Freight costs vary depending on factors such as distance, shipment size and weight, insurance and current surcharges which apply within your country. To get an accurate price, a quote is calculated based on your specific shipping requirements.
