With a drop-off okay you allow the DPD driver to leave your parcel in a safe place which you specify, for example in the garage.
You can issue a one-time drop-off okay for a parcel in your parcel tracking, or enter a drop-off okay as a permanent delivery preference for all your parcels.
There are various reasons why the delivery vehicle may remain motionless for some time in Live-Tracking, e.g.:
Parcels delivered directly to the consignee can be shipped up to a weight of 31.5 kg. When sending parcels to a Pickup parcelshop, the maximum weight is 20 kg.
Parcels which are picked up from you can weigh up to 31.5 kg. The maximum weight for parcels which are handed in for shipment at a Pickup parcelshop is 20 kg.
You can calculate the size of your parcel by adding together the shortest and the longest side of the parcel. In myDPD and the DPD App you can easily calculate your parcel size by entering your parcel dimensions (length x width x height).
The girth is the maximum permitted parcel size. It is calculated as follows: (height + width) x 2 + length of the parcel in cm. You can calculate this conveniently online in our girth calculator.
The volumetric weight indicates the amount of cargo space a parcel takes up and is calculated for DPD Express parcels, which are transported by airfreight. The volumetric weight is only calculated if it exceeds the actual weight. You can calculate the volumetric weight conveniently in the DPD volumetric weight calculator. Or with the formula: Length (cm) x Width (cm) x Height (cm)/5,000 (cm³/kg).
