Buckle up for higher shipping costs: DHL hikes international parcel prices by up to €3 as of next month 📦🚀
International shipping rates increased by DHL, primarily affecting packages sent outside of the country.
As of July 2025, DHL will be upping the ante on their international parcel and packet shipping game, with prices soaring up to €3 more per size and destination. You read that right – your global goodies might be getting a bit pricier! 💸
Here's the nitty-gritty on this transition: EU parcels weighing up to 5 kilograms will now set you back approximately €20.49, which is an extra €1 compared to the current rate. But fear not, there are some silver linings! If you're savvy enough to frank your shipments online, your wallet will thank you. For packets of size M bound for Asia and Africa (excluding North Africa), the price tag will rise to €22.99. That said, parcels and packets sent to Russia are taking the brunt of the price hike, with an even more significant increase. 📉
It's not all bad news on the domestic front, though! Only two products will go up in price: the PlusPac (something about including the packaging carton in the cost) will now cost €8.19 – a hike of €1.20 from before. Meanwhile, shipping rolls (for poster transport) will double in price to €3.99.
In this changing scenario, it's crucial for businesses relying on DHL's delivery services to adjust their budgets, as the cost of international parcel shipping is expected to increase, following the community policy enacted by DHL. Meanwhile, in the realm of vocational training, one could consider courses in finance or industry to enhance business strategies, focusing on cost-effective shipping methods amidst these price hikes.
