There are two ways to open a DHL Express Business Account, depending on how your business wants to pay for shipping.

• If you want to pay with a credit card, open a business shipping account online. This is the best option if your business doesn’t have an established credit history and wants to start shipping right away.
• If you want to get an invoice and pay later, schedule a consultation to open a credit business account. This option lets you consolidate multiple shipments into a single invoice, making it easier to manage payments and track costs.

Yes, DHL Express provides discounts on international shipping rates to business account holders:

• If you open a DHL Express Business Shipping Account, you’ll be eligible for volume-based discounts that increase automatically the more you ship – without needing to negotiate or track thresholds.
• If you open a credit business account, you’ll qualify for tailored discounts based on your shipping activity and business profile.

Only businesses can pay for their DHL Express shipments through invoice-based billing. To do so, they must open a DHL Express Business Shipping Account. As part of the application process, a DHL Express representative will review the company’s shipping volume, business details, and credit history to determine eligibility.

Once approved, the business can consolidate multiple shipments into a single invoice and pay at a later date.

Yes. You can arrange a convenient time for DHL Express to collect your shipment from your location. Our pickup options support fast delivery and same day delivery where available.

You or a representative must be present when the courier arrives to collect the parcel you are sending. For security reasons, we’re unable to collect parcels that are left in 'safe places'. If you have arranged for a parcel to be collected from your office and you leave the parcel at reception, you must ensure that someone is there to hand it over to the DHL Express courier.

You can drop off your DHL Express shipment at a local DHL Express ServicePoint or authorized partner location. To find one, go to the DHL Express ServicePoint Locator and follow these steps:

• Select your service type (Send, Collect, or Send & Collect)
• Choose a payment method (e.g., pay at the ServicePoint or use a prepaid label)
• Select a handling option (print at location, use a QR code, or bring a label)
• Enter your ZIP code to view available drop-off points, hours, and services

Track your shipment on our DHL Tracking Tool by entering the 10-digit tracking number.

When you request a DHL Express shipping quote, we’ll provide an estimated transit and delivery timeframe too. These estimates are based on shipments to major destinations, exclude customs clearance time, and are intended as a guide only.

Actual transit times may vary depending on the parcel’s size and contents, the specific origin and destination locations, and public holidays.

In addition, factors beyond DHL Express’ control – such as adverse weather conditions – may impact delivery times.

DHL Express is committed to delivering your parcels with speed and care. However, parcels should be packed to withstand the normal rigors of road and aircraft handling and transportation.

Packing your parcels with the right materials and care helps ensure they arrive safely and intact. To protect your shipment, you should:

• Assess what you’re trying to send – consider the weight, cost, regulations and fragility of the contents
• Choose your packaging based on its material, strength and size
• Pack your goods correctly, leaving no empty space in the box, placing items in the center of the box and wrapping items individually
• Seal your parcel correctly using the right tape and ensuring all the seams are sealed
• Display your labels clearly and include a spare label inside the package
