Sending a shipment with DHL Express is easy. With our simple-to-use shipping tools you can print out your own Waybill and book a collection.

Once our courier has collected your shipment, it enters the dependable DHL Express network. Your shipment will first be sorted at a DHL Service Centre, before travelling on to a DHL Hub where it is sorted for onward travel, so that your shipment can be loaded onto a DHL aircraft.

The information needed for Customs clearance is sent automatically to the final destination so that your shipment is free to be delivered on touchdown. Many of our international shipments pass through DHL’s European air hub in Leipzig, Germany. There, the shipment connects with another flight. DHL’s extensive global network means that your shipment is handled by DHL throughout its journey and you can track your shipment at all times with our online tracking tools.

On arrival at destination, your shipment is scanned and sorted for domestic delivery at a DHL hub and local Service Centre, before completing its final mile delivery. The DHL Express courier ensures that your shipment is delivered safely and signed for.
