Express

The costs for express shipping depend on weight and size of the parcel as well as the final destination. The price gets charged either by real weight or by volumetric weight. DHL explains: "The price of your shipment does not necessarily depend on its actual weight, but on the amount of space its pieces require (volumetric weight). It may happen that a shipment with light, but large pieces is more expensive than one with heavy but small pieces. The calculation of your freight cost depends on the higher weight: Is the volumetric weight higher than the real weight, the volumetric weight is used. Is the real weight higher than the volumetric weight, the real weight is used for calculation."
Volumetric weight = L x W x H : 5000
For this reason, binding price quotations are not easy to present and should be requested in advance.
Delivery days are from Monday to Friday until the end of the day.
Extra chargeable services like Saturday delivery and delivery at a certain time of the day are possible too.
