Exceeding the above size and/or weight limits for parcels a surcharge of €20 is applied. The conditions of this clause apply to all international shipments, except Latvia and Estonia.

  • The recommended maximum package girth is 290 cm. Due to potential minor deformation during transportation, a tolerance 290-300 cm is permitted. If the package exceeds 300 cm when measured at a DPD depot, a surcharge will be applied.

Package volume – the sum of the shortest perimeter and longest edge of the package. The volume of the package is calculated like this: (height + width) × 2 + length, i.e. (A + B) × 2 + C.

** Packages over the size and weight limits won't be shipped to Denmark, Finland, Norway, and Sweden. They will be returned to the sender if they exceed 35 kg, 175 cm in length, or 300 cm in girth.

Non-conveyable shipment

Non-conveyable shipment refers to any shipment containing a package that exceeds standard conveyor handling requirements, has an irregular shape, and/or is unstable or poses a risk of damaging other shipments or sorting equipment during automated processing.

A surcharge applies to all non-conveyable shipments.

A shipment is classified as non-conveyable and will be handled manually if:

  • any package has its longest side exceeding conveyor limits (over 100 cm);
  • the package is of irregular shape;
  • the package is unstable on the conveyor;
  • the package may damage other shipments or conveyor equipment during handling;
  • the package is not packed in accordance with packaging requirements (see packaging guidelines for details).

Example 1. Irregular shape

nekonvejerine nekonvejerine

Example 1. Irregular shape

Non-standard, unusual dimensions where the package may become jammed in conveyor mechanisms, including but not limited to: rakes wrapped only in stretch film and not in factory packaging; shipments wrapped in non-industrial film (e.g. food wrap); coils of cables without packaging; plastic or metal pipes.

Example 2. Risk of leakage

nekonvejerine-pakuote nekonvejerine-pakuote

Example 2. Risk of leakage

Increased risk of leakage: a shipment label is affixed directly to a paint can. The can may be damaged by conveyor mechanisms, causing the paint to leak from the package. This may spill onto and damage other packages as well as sorting equipment.

Example 3. Increased risk of breakage
