How do I start shipping with DHL Express through Sendcloud?

DHL Express activates via Sendcloud's My carriers tab at pre-negotiated rates. For your own DHL Express contract, add account credentials in the My contracts tab to ship at your negotiated rates worldwide.

For step-by-step instructions, see Sendcloud's Help Center article on DHL Express setup.

What does Sendcloud add to my DHL Express shipping?

Sendcloud activates DHL Express at pre-negotiated rates with no separate account, generates customs documents (HS codes, weights, country of origin, ICS2 compliance) from your order data, and routes orders through shipping rules by destination, weight, or service type. DHL Express tracking flows back from pickup through customs clearance to final delivery, all surfaced in branded customer emails alongside your other 170+ Sendcloud-connected carriers.

Can I use my own DHL Express contract instead of Sendcloud's rates?

You have two options:

Sendcloud's pre-negotiated rates: Start shipping right away with no separate DHL Express account needed. Available on the Free plan and above.

Your own DHL Express contract: Upload your existing DHL Express account credentials to ship at your negotiated rates. Available on Sendcloud's Lite, Growth, and Premium plans. See Sendcloud plans and pricing.

How much does it cost to ship with DHL Express?

DHL Express shipping rates depend on the service you pick, parcel weight and dimensions, the destination zone, and whether you use Sendcloud's discounted DHL Express rates or upload your own DHL Express contract.

See live DHL Express shipping rates in your Sendcloud account to compare costs per service before you ship, or set rules to route shipments by weight, value, or destination. Sendcloud's discounted rates start on the Free plan; the Lite plan adds your own contract on top. See Sendcloud plans and pricing for the full breakdown.

Where does DHL Express deliver?

DHL Express delivers across 220+ countries and destinations worldwide. For non-EU shipments, Sendcloud generates customs documents from your order data automatically, including HS codes, weights, values, country of origin, and ICS2 compliance for shipments into the EU.

How does tracking work with DHL Express and Sendcloud?

DHL Express tracking flows back through carrier-API events for pickup, customs clearance, and final delivery. Sendcloud surfaces these in branded customer emails.

Can I combine DHL Express with my other carriers?

Yes. Sendcloud connects 170+ carriers under one platform. Switch carriers per order through shipping rules, manage all of them from one dashboard, and pull tracking from every carrier into the same view.

If a DHL Express service hits delays, configure fallback rules to route to another carrier so customers still receive parcels on time.

Can I handle returns through DHL Express?

Yes. DHL Express returns flow through Sendcloud's return portal: domestic and international returns. Customers request a return through your branded portal, Sendcloud generates the label or QR code, and the parcel comes back via DHL Express. Refunds and exchanges follow your store's flow once the parcel is received.
