Of course, they can. DHL offers on-demand delivery services all around the world.

On-demand delivery allows your customers to choose flexible delivery options once your shipments are shipped.

After the shipments hand over to DHL Express, your customer will receive an SMS message or email to notify the estimated delivery date and a link for the preferred delivery date.

Shipment actual weight Vs. Volumetric Weight?

DHL Express will compare actual weight and Volumetric Weight, and the greater one will use to calculate shipping cost.

How to calculate my products Volumetric Weight?

You can use the formula: product’s length * product’s width * product’s height, then divide by 5000. The result is Volumetric product Weight by the kilogram.
