About DHL

DHL employs over 350,000 people and offers a wide range of delivery services for businesses who need to send parcels across the globe.

Parcel has worked closely with DHL for a number of years, allowing us to bring their global expertise to everyday consumers who need reliable and quick shipping, at an affordable price.

DHL international shipping

DHL offers customers the ability to send parcels to over 250 nations and territories around the world. Parcels are collected from either your home or office address by a DHL driver and transported fully tracked to your recipient. You can use DHL to send from the UK to almost any destination around the globe in as little as 1-2 days.

Parcel offer discounted shipping rates with DHL as we send so many parcels with them every day and pass this discount on to our customers. You don't need to create an account with DHL or provide them with large numbers of parcels to enjoy better prices.

When booking DHL, ensure you have access to a printer as you will be required to print the shipping label and often a pro forma customs invoice.

DHL Express tracking

If you book a DHL service with Parcel Monkey, you can still benefit from DHL Express tracking using the Parcel tracking tool. Our sophisticated tracking tool reflects DHL's tracking, so you can be kept up to date throughout.

Sending large or heavy items with DHL

Due to its vast network, DHL is able to take big and bulky goods, but as you would expect this can be expensive. Larger goods cost more to send due to the space they take up in the DHL courier network.

To get an accurate quote for sending large or heavy parcels, please enter the dimensions and weight into our courier quote tool and we'll provide you with the cheapest rates available.

DHL delivery times

DHL delivery times will depend on the service you book. If you book DHL Parcel UK Next Day, your parcel will be collected and delivered the following working day. If you require delivery by a certain time, you’ll need to book one of DHL’s timed delivery services, such as Next Day Before 10.30 am or Next Day Before 9 am. These timed services are more costly, but ideal for urgent and time-sensitive deliveries.

Does DHL deliver on Saturdays or Sundays?

For Saturday deliveries, you can book DHL's Saturday delivery option, which is fully tracked and signed for. We do not currently offer a Sunday delivery service with DHL.

DHL collection times

DHL can collect from your home or work address, Monday-Friday between 8 am and 6 pm (excluding bank and public holidays).
