Important Tips when Relocating with DHL
Ensure your items are packed properly
Consider the size, weight, and shape of your items before choosing the appropriate internal (bubble wrap, foam blocks or chips etc.) and external packaging (boxes or envelopes).
Seal all edges of the box and attach your shipping label, as well as any other special handling labels, such as “fragile” or “keep dry”.
For heavier shipments such as furniture, you should disassemble them as much as possible and use reinforced cardboard boxes. To find out how to order custom shipment packaging, click here.
