What is the maximum weight and size limit for shipments?

Asked 2 years ago
DHL Express (UK) has established specific weight and size limits for shipments, ensuring that packages are handled efficiently and safely. For international shipments, the maximum weight for a single package is typically 70 kilograms, while the maximum dimensions allowed are generally up to 120 centimeters in height, 80 centimeters in width, and 105 centimeters in length, including any packaging. It is worth noting that these dimensions can vary depending on the service type and destination, as some countries may impose additional restrictions. For domestic shipments within the UK, the size and weight limits may differ. As a general rule, packages should still adhere to the maximum weight of 70 kilograms, but the dimensional limits may be less stringent. It is important for customers to check details on the official DHL website for the most accurate and current information regarding maximum weight and size limits for specific services. This can also offer guidance on packaging requirements and any additional fees that may apply for oversized shipments. Understanding these limits in advance can help ensure that shipments are processed smoothly and efficiently.
