What is the maximum weight limit for a shipment?

Asked 2 years ago
DHL Express has specific weight limits that can vary based on the destination and the type of service selected. Generally, the maximum weight limit for a shipment is typically 70 kilograms, or approximately 154 pounds, per package. For larger shipments, such as freight, the weight limits may vary according to the service type and may accommodate heavier weights, but there are still restrictions in place to ensure safe and efficient transportation. It is also essential to note that DHL Express maintains size restrictions alongside weight limits, which must be adhered to for successful processing. In many cases, if shipments exceed standard weight or size limits, they may require special handling or may need to be broken down into smaller parcels. For precise information tailored to a specific shipment, including the accurate limits based on destination, it is advisable to check the current DHL Express website. This will provide the most up-to-date details regarding weight and size restrictions related to specific shipping services.
