DHL Express Philippines provide accurate delivery service estimations based on the details of your air waybill (AWB). If you’re wondering how to track DHL Express couriers, you can check on your shipment’s estimated delivery date and get updates on the progress via our tracking tool by using your 10-digit DHL Express air waybill. The estimate also takes into account any public holidays that might impact the overall transit time. DHL Express does not factor in transit over the weekends. All transit time estimates are subject to customs clearance and airline uplift availability.

First of all, we offer our sincere apologies for this unfortunate incident. Please lodge a claim by contacting our customer support team at DHL Express. This has to be done within 30 days from the date DHL Express accepts the shipment.

It depends on the shipping address and actual or volumetric weight of the package you wish to ship using a DHL Express courier. Volumetric weight measures the dimensions of your shipment to derive a weight. DHL Express will compare this and the actual weight of your shipment and select the higher of the two to use as final weight calculation. Volumetric weight is calculated by multiplying the length x height x width of a package and dividing the result by a volumetric factor.
