During the quarantine period, DHL introduced two new services that make online stores more secure for the supply of goods.

1. DHL boxes

  • The service competes with Paczkomats, it allows you to deliver packages in the mailbox at a pick-up point.
  • To support this type of delivery, you must integrate it into the list of delivery points on your website.
  • To be able to ship to the mailbox, you must fill in the telephone number and e‑mail address.
  • The packaging must not exceed the limit of 25 kg.
  • You can also use the Danish SWIPEBOX delivery service within the DHL box.

2. A secure delivery system for food deliveries

  • The system works on providing a PIN code, which eliminates the need to sign the package.
  • After providing the PIN, the customer receives the order without direct contact with the driver.
