No installation needed, you only need a PC with internet connection, a web browser (Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher, Firefox 4.0 or higher) and a printer.

You need a laser printer to print your waybills and shipping labels. We highly recommend you use a laser printer rather than ink jet to ensure barcode quality on the waybill. Barcodes printed by ink jet printers can cause scanning problems which could result in delivery delays due to additional manual processing. Use a laser printer and you’ll avoid this problem.

If you are unable to print parcel labels, please do not use DHL eStore to make your booking.
There's no need to print anything if you can drop your parcel off at a DHL Service Point - this will be done by the staff in the store.
Alternatively, you can book a collection with customer service.

You should see tracking events within 24hours after you have received the tracking number/ID. The reason for this time lag is that in most cases the first tracking event only shows up once the shipment has been handed over to us, i.e. once the shipment has left the fulfillment centre of your online shop.

Your shipment may be delayed. Delivery time delays can be caused due to weather incidents, customs, backlogs etc. In case your shipment has not arrived within 10 days after the expected delivery time, please contact your shipper or the online shop so that they can start an investigation for lost items.

In case your tracking ID is not working, please contact our customer care.

Call us on 1800 111 345/ 1 800 200 1345.

You, or a representative, must be present when the courier arrives to collect the parcel. For security reasons, DHL is unable to collect parcels left in 'safe places'. If you are arranging a collection from your office, you can leave your parcel at reception, but someone must be there to hand it over to DHL.

DHL always endeavours to collect your parcel on the agreed date and time, but occasionally we may have difficulties assigning a courier due to circumstances outside our control. For example, a delay may be caused due to adverse traffic or weather conditions.

This doesn't happen often, but it could be because your parcel contains a prohibited item or you haven't printed the parcel paperwork. Please contact the DHL eStore team for advice. If we are unable to arrange another collection for you, we will issue a refund.

The delivery time of your shipment depends on the service level you have chosen. The online shop usually shows the delivery time on their website.

Shipments must be customs cleared. Customs clearance process times differ from country to country and cannot be influenced by DHL. For some countries, duties and taxes may be due. Customs may hold your shipment because they require more information. In this case they will contact you.

Duties and taxes are consumption taxes. Customs duties are levied on certain goods purchased abroad. Value added taxes (VAT) are usually levied in the country where the purchased goods are consumed. Duties and taxes differ per country. Depending on the country, duties and taxes are settled with the post office or the customs office.
