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. If our subsequent measurements show that the parcel exceeds the weights or dimensions,it is possible that you will be invoiced for additional costs.

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).

The maximum shipping length for parcels with delivery directly to the receiver is 175 cm. When shipped to a pickup parcelshop, the maximum shipping length of a parcel is 100 cm.

As a consignee, please report your complaint to your shipper, who has all the necessary documents. If you are a business shipper, please report your complaint using the complaint form in myDPD in the 'orders' section. If you do not have access to myDPD,  contact our customer service. Please have the delivery note, the handover receipt and your commercial invoice ready.

The maximum weight is 20 kg and the maximum length 100 cm. Here you'll find our practical parcel size calculator.
