Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about the DHL Colis integration.
What specific shipping services are supported for DHL Colis?
ShippyPro integrates many services offered by DHL Colis.
We recommend you to look into our documentation for further information.
Where can I ship with DHL Colis using ShippyPro?
DHL Colis provides extensive coverage, focusing on the European market.
The network is particularly strong in their home region, making it a strategic choice for businesses targeting that market. Whether you are shipping locally or cross-border, ShippyPro validates addresses to ensure your shipments reach reachable destinations without errors.
How does DHL Colis calculate the shipping cost?
Costs are typically calculated based on standard volumetric and actual weight calculations, factoring in package dimensions and delivery distance.
It is crucial to optimize your packaging, as they may apply 'Volumetric Weight' pricing if the package is light but bulky. ShippyPro helps you avoid surcharges by automatically transmitting correct package dimensions during the label creation process.
What label formats (ZPL, PDF) does DHL Colis support?
This integration supports industry-standard formats, including PDF and ZPL, ensuring compatibility with your thermal or laser printers.
For high-volume warehouses, we recommend using ZPL/Thermal for speed. You can configure your preferred format in the ShippyPro 'Carrier Options' menu. If you need to print Packing Slips or Return Labels alongside the main waybill, this can be automated in your printing preferences.
Are there restrictions on 'Dangerous Goods' or Prohibited Items?
Yes, strict restrictions apply. Generally, items such as [Strict] are not permitted in the standard network.
Hazardous materials (Hazmat) often require a special contract and cannot be shipped via standard API calls without specific 'Special Service' codes. Always consult the official carrier guide before shipping regulated items. ShippyPro does not automatically validate the contents of your package against this list.
Why should I choose DHL Colis for my e-commerce business?
With a strong rating, DHL Colis is a top choice for merchants seeking reliability and tracking.
It stands out for its specific regional strengths and service quality. If your business prioritizes efficient shipping and needs coverage in their specific regions, this integration offers a competitive advantage. Compare performance against your other carriers directly in your ShippyPro analytics dashboard.
