Send a parcel to Europe with DHL Europlus

DHL Europlus is a highly cost-effective road based parcel delivery service operating throughout Europe. DHL Europlus is ideal for transporting consignments where affordability is a priority, and traceability and a short transit time is not important.

Consignments on DHL Europlus services do not have the same level of traceability when it comes to parcel tracking. Transit times are generally longer on DHL Europlus services and your parcel will be signed for upon delivery. You will have access to confirmation that your parcel has been received, however If tracking and speed of delivery is a priority for you then we would strongly recommend that you send your consignment via DHL Air Express. 

DHL Europlus Parcel Labelling

When sending a parcel via DHL Europlus you should ensure that it is clearly labelled with the full delivery address and a contact telephone number. You may also wish to include a return delivery address on your label in case of any problems. Upon collection of your parcel, your drive should leave you with a carbon copy of the delivery note. This contains your tracking number which you can use to confirm delivery of your parcel.
