DHL increases prices for certain package programs
DHL is the market leader on the German parcel market. The prices for letters and packages have gradually become more expensive in recent years. Now it is time for certain types of shipment.
The Post Group DHL increases prices for parcel shipping abroad. The transportation of a parcel weighing up to two kilograms, which is sent in EU countries and which was franked online, costs 6.99 euros from July and thus 50 cents more than before, as the logistics group in Bonn announced. A package weighs up to five kilos is more expensive to make it to be franked by one euro to 20.49 euros if you let it frank in the branch. DHL justifies the new prices at higher costs.
If you buy the package brand on the Internet in advance, you pay 17.49 euros for a EU package, which weighs up to five kilos-a price surcharge of one euro compared to the current online price. Certain types of broadcasts abroad – in addition to the EU also in other world regions – are also more expensive, but others are not more expensive. The price -premium for shipments to Russia was particularly powerful.
In Germany everything remains largely with the old in DHL package, only two special products are becoming more expensive: the plus package, which also includes the packaging box in the price, will cost 8.19 euros and thus 1.20 euros more than before. Shipping a role that is used for transporting posters, for example, costs 3.99 euros and is therefore twice as expensive as before (1.99 euros).
