Delivery via DHL with discounts of up to 70%

If you’re looking for a short answer to what is DHL delivery – it’s a door-to-door service: a company courier picks up the shipment from the client and hands it to the recipient in the destination country. Everything under the carrier’s single responsibility and with one tracking number. Through GlobalPost, the DHL rate is available at a wholesale price – on average 30-50% lower than a direct contract with the carrier.

What shipments DHL accepts and processes

DHL delivery handles three categories of shipments. Documents – a DHL Express Envelope or DHL Express Flyer up to 0.3 kg, with no export customs clearance required. Parcels – from 0.3 to 70 kg in DHL Express Box branded packaging or the client’s own container. Freight – from 70 kg up to pallets and several tons, processed under the DHL Express Worldwide product or through DHL Global Forwarding.

DHL document delivery goes through simplified customs control. The envelope is not declared as cargo, does not require an invoice or HS codes, but must pass through an X-ray scanner in the customs zone. If the contents look suspicious, the envelope may be opened for physical inspection. This is a typical scenario for contract documentation, original certificates, and notarized copies. Special rules apply to certain categories:

• original identity documents (passports, apostilled copies, notarial acts) – the scenario DHL is most often chosen for,
• product samples and exhibition materials – a typical B2B request before a trade show or industry conference,
• high-value shipments (jewelry, electronics with a declared value above the standard threshold) – marked as High Value Shipment with mandatory insurance.

Key destinations and countries for DHL shipments

DHL’s own network covers 220+ countries – from neighboring Poland and Germany to the USA, UAE, and Japan. DHL delivery within the EU takes 2-3 business days, transatlantic routes – 3-5 days, Middle East and Asia – 3-6 days. Distance, weight, and dimensions directly affect the delivery time and price. International delivery cost via DHL is calculated based on weight, dimensions, and destination country. Through GlobalPost, the rate is visible in the calculator on the website, with no need to wait for a manager’s quote.

DHL delivery across Europe is the most popular route among the Ukrainian B2B sector, because the Leipzig hub cuts transit time to a minimum. We help with the export customs declaration, invoice, packing list, and HS codes. If the client needs a broker – we connect ours for a separate fee.

DHL delivery to Ukraine: imports from the EU, USA, and Asia

Import follows the same route, just in the opposite direction. The client places a request on the website or via messenger, a DHL courier picks up the shipment at the sender’s address abroad, and after the cargo arrives in Ukraine and clears customs (if required), we deliver it to any city – Kyiv, Lviv, Kharkiv, Dnipro, Odesa, and others. Payment can be made by the sender or the recipient, as agreed between the parties.

DHL delivery to Ukraine is popular among e-com buyers, manufacturers, and companies receiving samples, components, and press materials from Germany, Poland, the Netherlands, the USA, the UK, and China. DHL Ukraine is a frequent request for original contracts, passports, and apostilled documents that, per the sending country’s procedure, can only go via express channel.

How DHL operates and delivery speed

DHL has its own airline – European Air Transport Leipzig – which serves the European part of the network through the Leipzig hub. A fleet of 300+ aircraft and 2,400+ daily flights maintains a tight schedule even on peak dates: Black Friday, Chinese New Year, pre-Christmas December. DHL delivery on key EU routes does not depend on commercial carrier capacity, because DHL flies its own planes.

Tracking works via standard DHL Event Codes: pickup from the sender, processing at the origin hub, departure, acceptance at the destination hub, customs clearance, courier delivery. The client sees the entire journey in the GlobalPost personal account with the AWB number, without redirects to the carrier’s website.

DHL express delivery is the baseline format for urgent shipments: delivery by the end of the next business day within the EU and within 3-5 days to the USA and Canada. DHL express delivery is in demand when the deadline matters more than the price: urgent contracts, exhibition stands, critical spare parts before launch. The carrier’s tracking is displayed in the GlobalPost personal account 24/7.
