What happens if I am not home when the parcel is delivered?

No problem. Your package will be left with your neighbour. What if your neighbour is not home either? Your parcel will be brought to a nearby Pickup parcel shop. This is a quick and easy option, and means that you can collect the parcel when it is convenient for you. The DPD driver will leave a note in your letterbox stating the address of the Pickup parcel shop and when the parcel will be available for collection. DPD will also send you an email stating when the parcel has arrived at the Pickup parcel shop.  Take some proof of identity with you when you go to collect your parcel. You have seven days in which to pick it up. If it is not collected during this time, it will be returned to the sender.

Why is my parcel being delivered to a Pickup parcelshop?

If we deliver your parcel to a Pickup parcelshop there could be a number of reasons for this:

  • The consignor has instructed us to deliver the parcel to a Pickup parcelshop (DPD Shop2Shop)

  • You have specified the Pickup parcelshop as the place of delivery with our customer service, in myDPD or in our app.

  • We were unable to locate you at home and you have not specified a different place or day for the delivery. In this case we wish to make sure nevertheless that you receive your parcel as quickly as possible, and we therefore deliver it to a Pickup parcelshop in your neighbourhood, where you can pick it up during the shop\'s opening hours.

You can find out the Pickup parcelshop to which your parcel has been delivered in myDPD, in our app, from the delivery email in your mailbox or from the parcel notification card in your letterbox.

Clear filters

In which regions will DPD fresh be deployed?

We deliver your groceries, refrigerated and frozen food products throughout Belgium and we also export to France. All individuals and businesses within this area will be able to receive parcels with DPD fresh. Over the following two years, new regions will be added systematically. Which depots and cities exactly are added, will be decided together with prospects and clients, to align with their priorities.

More

I am interested in DPD fresh. How can I get in touch?

Thank you for your interest in DPD fresh! You can use this form and enter your details; we will be in touch as soon as possible to go over your plans. Talk to you soon!

More

Is this a B2B or B2C service?

DPD fresh will be launched for delivery to businesses (shops, restaurants, caterers…) and private individuals (meal boxes…). For both target groups a Predict service (detailed info with a 1 hour timeframe) will be available. In order to guarantee the freshness of your products, we cannot deliver at a pick-up point or at a safe place.

More

Why choosing to deploy an actively refrigerated network?

By actively refrigerated network we mean refrigerated containers in the depots and active temperature control in the vehicles on road to delivery. That way, you as a client do not need to use expensive and in many cases polluting packaging material to store your goods at temperatures below 4°C until/during delivery. DPD fresh supports innovations in delivery of fresh foods in a sustainable way, whilst guaranteeing to uphold the cold chain.

What is a HS code and how do I enter them?

Customs uses a commodity code or European HS (Harmonized System) code to classify products. You need to provide 8 digits codes. By using this code in the data you send to DPD, DPD can make the correct Customs declaration. Customs then knows:
  • What products are in your consignment.
  • How much import duty and other import taxes must be paid on these products.
The HS codes for you to classify your products can be found at: www.tariffnumber.com Attention: for a number of HS codes  you also have to enter the quantity (m², kg, pair, etc.) in the description. So if you send a rolled-up wool carpet, you have to enter: "wool carpet (5m²) in the description field (DPD Shipper) CCONTENT field (self-printers). Other examples: ‘water (0,5 liters)’, ‘charcoal (10 kg)’, ‘shoes (4 pairs)’, etc.

(HMRC) Is it required to register at customs in the UK?

Yes. HMRC means “Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs”. This government company realizes taxes income for the United Kingdom. At the beginning of 2019, the United Kingdom has a VAT legislation (VAT notice 1003) in place which makes it compulsory for the sender to always pay the VAT for parcels ≤ £135. In other words, do you ship products with a value of less than 135 pounds? Please register via the website of the HMRC in the United Kingdom.
More

Which services can I still use to the UK ?

DPD currently offers two services to the UK. You can ship parcels via DPD Classic (B2B) and DPD Home (B2C). We hope to be able to reactivate other services (DPD Shop etc.) as soon as possible.
More

Do I need to add printed invoices to a shipment to the United Kingdom?

No, but for a shipment to the United Kingdom it is mandatory for both the European and UK customs to be able to present an invoice. DPD has agreed with customs that there is no need for a printed paper invoice, but that a digital invoice for each parcel is sufficient. All items in the parcel must be clearly described on the invoice. The digital invoice can automatically be generated from the data you provide for each parcel, so make sure your data is compliant. Attention: Customs UK can at all times request an original invoice. The customer service of DPD will request this from you, make sure you can always provide it within 24 hours.
More

Which INCO term does DPD offer for shipments to the UK?

DPD offers the INCO term DAP. An INCO term indicates at what point the responsibility passes from sender to recipient. Two types of Billing terms have been added to this INCO term: A Billing term indicates which party (sender or recipient) pays the VAT and import duties.
  • DP means 'duties & taxes Paid'. The sender pays the costs.
  • NP means 'duties & taxes Not Paid'. The recipient pays the costs.
DAP NP is the standard offered within DPD BeLux. If you want to use DAP DP you first need to contact your sales to discuss the required setup.
More

How does the payment of customs duties work when shipping to the UK?

In case you ship your parcels under INCO term DAP, Billing term NP (Not Paid: recipients pays all costs) your customer will have to pay customs duties prior to delivery. DPD UK will send a secure digital payment request per email or sms. Without payment of these costs + admin fee (£5) within 5 days the parcel will be returned to you.
More

With DAP NP, payment must be made by the recipient in the UK. How long will DPD UK hold the parcel?

With DAP NP (the recipient is responsible for the payment of the costs). On arrival in the UK, a parcel will be held up to a maximum of 5 days in order to allow the recipient to pay the costs in accordance with DPD. For this purpose, DPD UK will send a payment request to the recipient in an email and/or text message containing a secure payment link. When Duties & Taxes are not paid, the parcel will be returned including: €5,00 return cost + import VAT on arrival in Europe.
More

Which costs have to be integrated in the value of the good I declare?

Next to the value of the good also the shipping costs need to be added to the total value. At customs level each good needs to have a value, even if they are shipped as a free item.
More

Does anything change for shipments to Ireland and Northern-Ireland due to Brexit?
