About DHL Parcel Benelux
DHL Parcel Benelux is DHL's parcel network in the Netherlands, Belgium and Luxembourg. It delivers to homes, letterboxes and DHL ServicePoints in the Netherlands and Belgium, carries business parcels and pallets with Europlus, and takes consumer parcels to other EU countries with DHL Parcel Connect. For a webshop that ships from the Benelux, it covers both local orders and orders across Europe.
Why ship with DHL Parcel Benelux through Zippendo?
Zippendo is a shipping platform for webshops. You connect your own DHL Parcel Benelux agreement once, and from then on your orders become DHL shipments without anyone typing addresses into My DHL eCommerce. You keep your DHL prices, and DHL keeps invoicing you directly.
Let customers pick a DHL ServicePoint at checkout
DHL Parcel ServicePoint delivery sends the parcel to the DHL ServicePoint or parcel locker your customer chooses in the Netherlands or Belgium, and DHL Parcel Connect ServicePoint delivery does the same in other EU countries. Your Shopify checkout can show live shipping rates from your own shipping rules, including nearby DHL ServicePoints, and the Zippendo checkout plugin adds the same service point selector to WooCommerce. The order arrives with the point the customer chose, and Zippendo books the delivery to it.
Delivery options for Dutch and Belgian customers
Home delivery in the Netherlands and Belgium can carry evening or Saturday delivery, signature on delivery, an age check, no delivery to neighbors and multiple delivery attempts, each in the countries where DHL offers it. Mailbox parcels up to 2 kg fit through the letterbox, and outbound parcels other than mailbox parcels can carry all-risks insurance.
Business parcels, customs and pickups
Europlus carries several parcels or pallets in one shipment to businesses in the Benelux and across Europe, with delivery before 11:00 or to a construction site on domestic Europlus shipments. On Europlus International shipments that leave the EU, Zippendo sends the customs declaration from the order lines and DHL makes the customs documents. When the parcels are packed, you can book a DHL pickup from your address in the Netherlands, Belgium or Luxembourg directly from Zippendo.
Returns and tracking
DHL Parcel Return brings a parcel back from your customer, who hands it in at a DHL ServicePoint. Returns sent from the Netherlands can be printless, with DHL emailing your customer a QR code instead of a label, and outbound parcels can include a return label. Zippendo fetches tracking from DHL and keeps the status up to date as the parcel moves.

How do I connect DHL Parcel Benelux to my webshop?
Connect your shop to Zippendo first, then add your DHL Parcel Benelux agreement.

Your shipping rules then decide which orders go with DHL Parcel Benelux, alongside carriers like PostNL, GLS and DHL Express on the same platform. See all integrations for the full list.
