FAQ – Shipping luggage internationally with DPD
Can I send a suitcase with DPD without a box?
No, DPD only allows clients to ship luggage pieces if they are appropriately packed inside a cardboard box. If your item does not match the packaging requirements, DPD holds the right to refuse to collect it.
Will the courier collect the item at my house when I schedule a DPD suitcase delivery?
It depends on the specific conditions of the service you selected. Some DPD luggage shipping services already include home collection, but for others, the customer is required to drop off the item at a local store. The availability of both services will depend on your location, so we recommend checking directly with the courier for specific information regarding your order.
Can I have deodorants and perfumes on my luggage when shipping with DPD?
Unfortunately, no. Aerosols and liquids are amongst the list of items considered prohibited by DPD. These items are considered dangerous for shipping because they may leak and cause damage not only to your parcel but to others too. To ensure your delivery goes smoothly, make sure not to include any prohibited items on your bag when shipping luggage internationally with DPD.
Can I send a suitcase to the USA with DPD?
DPD is a specialist in shipping within Europe, but they also offer certain shipping services overseas. However, the routes available may be limited.
