Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between DHL Express Standard and Special Services?
- With the Express Standard service, shipments follow specific routes, using DHL's own aircrafts or vans.
- For Special Services, we find a suitable solution for transporting the shipment through direct flights outside the DHL network, charter flights and other flexible solutions according to the client's needs. Depending on the need, we also carry out transportation using vans or trucks specially reserved for a particular shipment.
When should we choose Special Services?
- When the standard DHL Express service is not fast or flexible enough.
- When you want to ship dangerous goods but do not have special permission.
- When dealing with heavy or oversized loads.
- Sending from airport to airport.
- When the pick-up or delivery takes place on weekends or holidays.
- When you need a “On Board Courier” (OBC).
Is the price for Special Services higher than the standard Express service?
- Not necessarily. There is no fixed price list for Special Services, the price is determined based on the customer's needs and available transportation options (case by case).
How can I track the movement of my shipment with Special Services?
- Since Special Services involve the use of scheduled flights, vans and trucks that are not part of DHL Express and are not connected to a tracking system, it is not possible to track shipments on the DHL website. Information about the movement of the shipment and confirmation of delivery will be provided by Special Services expert, whose contact details you will receive upon request.
