How to Send Your Package with DHL Express ShipNow

Once you have your quote and are ready to proceed, the next step is sending your package. DHL ShipNow offers several flexible and convenient options. Here's how to ship your items from Sri Lanka using DHL’s online shipping platform, whether you prefer to drop off your parcel yourself or have it collected by a courier.

Option 1. Dropping Off at a DHL Express Location

1. Prepare and Pay Online: The first step is to prepare your DHL shipment on the ShipNow platform. Enter your shipment details, get a quote, pay securely online with a credit or debit card, and generate your shipping label along with any necessary customs documents.
2. Find a Location: Use the locator tool on the ShipNow site to find the most convenient DHL Express Service Point or Flagship Store in Sri Lanka for you to drop off your package.
3. Drop Off Your Package: Attach the printed shipping label to your securely packed parcel and bring it to your chosen DHL location during its operating hours.
4. (Optional) Use Our Label-Free Service: If you don't have a printer, you can check for participating DHL Service Points that accept QR codes. At these locations, we can simply scan the QR code from your mobile phone and print the shipping label for you.
5. Track Your Shipment: Once your package is with us, we’ll take care of the rest. You can monitor its journey in real-time using the tracking feature on the ShipNow platform.

Option 2: Using an Automated 24/7 Drop-Off Locker (Where Available)

As DHL Express continues to innovate its international delivery services, automated 24/7 parcel lockers are becoming available in select locations globally, offering ultimate flexibility for dropping off shipments at any time. Here’s how you would typically use one:

1. Book and Pay Online: Create your shipment on the DHL ShipNow platform as usual. During the drop-off selection step, check for any available automated locker locations in your vicinity.
2. Print Your Label: To use a self-service locker, you will generally need to print the shipping label and any customs forms yourself and attach them securely to your parcel before heading to the locker station.
3. Scan and Drop: At the automated locker station, simply scan your package's barcode using the locker’s built-in scanner and follow the on-screen instructions to place your parcel inside an assigned compartment.
4. Track Your Shipment: Once the locker door is closed, your part is done! A DHL courier will collect it during their regular rounds, and you can begin tracking its journey online via the ShipNow portal.

Option 3: Booking a Convenient Courier Pickup

For maximum convenience, you can have a DHL courier collect your shipment directly from your doorstep.

1. Book Your Shipment and Pickup: On the DHL ShipNow platform, create your shipment and select the "Courier Pickup" option. You will be able to schedule a convenient date and time window for a DHL courier to collect the package directly from your home or office.
2. Pay and Prepare Your Documents: Complete the payment online. Then, print out your shipping label and any required customs documents. Securely pack your items – for example, when shipping handmade jewellery, it is a good idea to use a sturdy box with protective padding.
3. Hand Over to the Courier: Have your packaged shipment with the label already attached ready for the courier at the scheduled time. Our courier will scan the package upon collection, and you’ll have a proof of pickup.
4. Track Its Progress: Your package is now on its way to its destination. You can use the tracking number provided on the ShipNow platform to monitor its journey in real-time.
