Compare official DHL, Hermes and DPD products by weight and outside dimensions
DHL, Hermes, and DPD planning comparison
The calculator shows every matching official product for the selected carrier. DHL uses the named online/retail channel, Hermes online from a PaketShop to the home, and DPD online from a Pickup parcel shop to the home.
Enter weight and outside dimensions correctly
Weigh the packed shipment including the box and packing material. Measure all three outside dimensions; the calculator sorts the sides and applies the real product limits.
Why live prices can differ
Online and retail rates, business terms, destination, pickup, insurance, oversize handling, and seasonal surcharges can change the final price. A matching planning service does not guarantee acceptance.
Check before booking
Use the selected carrier's rate tool with exact dimensions, weight, destination, and extras. Also confirm liability, transit time, and exclusions.
Frequently Asked Questions
How are German shipping costs compared?
The calculator checks weight, outside dimensions, girth, and each carrier's longest-plus-shortest-side rule. It shows every matching official product in the selected booking and drop-off channel.
Are these live rates?
No. The values were checked against official carrier pages on September 3, 2026 and remain non-binding.
Why are all three outside dimensions required?
DHL uses specific maximum dimensions and sometimes girth; Hermes and DPD classify products partly by the sum of the longest and shortest sides.
Are surcharges included?
No. Oversize, islands, pickup, insurance, liability, and other extras are outside this narrow domestic comparison.
What does the check mark mean?
It identifies the cheapest matching option among the planning values currently displayed.
What is the comparison date?
The comparison was reviewed on September 3, 2026. The stored Hermes list applies from March 2, 2026, the DHL price overview from July 1, 2025, and DPD was retrieved on the review date.
