FAQ's

We are not responsible for any problems you experience with a Merchant or for any defects in the goods you buy.

What is 'volumetric weight'?

We use volumetric weight when determining the weight of the shipments we send and we understand that this is not always an easy concept to grasp. We want to break down the details for you in order to make it as clear as possible.

The cost of transporting a shipment can be affected by the amount of space that it occupies on an aircraft, rather than the actual weight. This is the volumetric (or dimensional) weight.

The volumetric weight of a shipment is a calculation that reflects the density of a package. A less dense item generally occupies more volume of space, in comparison to its actual weight.

The volumetric or dimensional weight is calculated and compared with the actual weight of the shipment to ascertain which is greater; the higher weight is used to calculate the shipment cost.

Calculating Volumetric Weight

Volumetric weight is calculated by multiplying the length x height x width of a package and dividing the result by a volumetric factor.

That factor varies with the unit of measure. Since we use kilograms to calculate shipping charges, we use the following formulas to calculate volumetric weight:

Please be aware that the shipping weight indicated on your merchant order confirmation may be based on ground shipping or domestic air shipping from the merchant to our hub location.

Depending on the carrier and size of package, the Merchant’s ground shipping charges may or may not utilise volumetric weight calculation.

If the carrier used by the Merchant does use volumetric weight calculation for ground or for domestic air, the volumetric weight calculation will use a different volumetric factor and the volumetric weight will be lower than that used for international air shipments.

We hope this helps to make volumetric weight a little bit easier to understand.

Please feel free to contact customer service with any additional question.

Do I really have to pay tax and duty?

Yes you do – and there are heavy fines or even criminal proceedings for anyone trying to evade import taxes and duties.

You are the “Importer” for your purchases and you are responsible for an accurate declaration of the nature of the goods and their value. This information is used to determine taxes and duties by your local Customs Authority. You can verify the accuracy of any shipment in your suite by logging into your suite and reviewing the details for items waiting to be shipped. All imported goods must be declared to customs – regardless of whether the goods are new or used or whether you are buying them for yourself or as a gift. Some countries set a value threshold under which they do not collect duty or tax (“de minimis” value). If your shipment is under this threshold, DHL EasyShop will not collect any payment from you for duty or tax. However, you should be aware that Customs reserves the right to revalue or reclassify items which are imported. If this occurs, you may be liable to pay the additional amount upon delivery.

If you are not sure whether your goods will be liable for local duties and taxes please contact us via Chat.

Local sales or other taxes may also apply for domestic deliveries from the Merchant to your DHL EasyShop Suite address. These will show up in your record of the purchase transaction before you make your payment to the Merchant.

Sometimes merchants don’t include an invoice or packing slip with the package. In this situation, you will receive a message from us asking you to upload the invoice and payment receipt you received from the merchant at the time of purpose.

BE AWARE: Some unscrupulous Merchants imply on their websites that they will either mis-describe items or under-declare their value in order to evade customs charges. However, we emphasise that you as the “Importer” are legally responsible for the accurate declaration of the goods and their value for assessment of tax and duty in the importing country. So although the Merchant may produce a commercial invoice, you are legally responsible for the information on the customs declaration and for any customs duties and taxes that may be due. This means that if you purchase goods from these Merchants, and the declaration is found to be false or misleading, you may be liable for financial penalties or even criminal prosecution and having your goods confiscated by Customs. DHL EasyShop is not responsible for any mis-statements of duty or tax, whether by you or the Merchant.

How long will you store goods in my Suite?

What is the maximum size of package I can receive?

Packages must not exceed 47x31x63 inches / 120x80x80cms OR weigh more than 154lbs / 70kgs

If you anticipate that the goods you are ordering could come in a package that is larger/heavier than this, please speak to the Merchant to see if they can help to reduce the packaging or weight. Bear in mind that fragile goods such as electronic equipment, glassware etc may come with a lot of packaging so the parcel may be larger than you expect.

If you expect a package larger than the above please do not hesitate to
