What should you pay attention to when shipping with DSV?

• Pallets are ideally suited for sending larger quantities of goods.
• Make sure your pallet material is in good condition.
• Put the heavy boxes on the bottom and stack the lightboxes on top.
• Stack the individual packages on the pallet properly so that the pallet forms a stable whole.
• Please note that the shipments must be packed within the pallet size and therefore do not protrude. This prevents damage to the boxes.
• Reinforce the corners. Use cardboard corner profiles for this.
• Secure your shipments on the pallet, for example by sealing. Also, seal the top.

It is not (yet) possible to send dangerous goods (ADR) via DSV.

1. In order to be able to demonstrate that your package is properly packed in the event of damage or loss, we recommend taking photos during the packing process. Therefore, take photos of at least the inner and outer packaging that also shows the product that you want to send.

In the event of damage, the insurance also checks whether you have packed the shipment properly. Therefore, make sure that you have packed the packaging.

2. You must be able to demonstrate that the specified value is correct by means of, for example, a purchase invoice. You cannot claim more than the amount you specified during the booking.

3. You insure your shipment against theft, damage and loss. Please note that you have submitted a claim to us within 8 working days after delivery of your shipment. Unfortunately, after these 8 working days, we can no longer submit the claim.

Delivery times are on working days and always subject to, for example, holidays, outside areas, weather conditions and customs processes. If your shipment is transported to a destination outside the European Union, your shipment will be cleared by local customs. This can sometimes take a few days because customs must follow various formalities so that the carrier can eventually deliver your shipment. Customs is a government agency over which we, unfortunately, have no influence.

Experience shows that approximately 90% of the shipments are delivered within the stated delivery time. We think it is important to be transparent about this and to communicate this information with you because we understand how important your shipment is to you. If you would like to know more about delivery times, please do not hesitate to contact us.

• Goods must be properly packed and secured on a strong pallet. Furthermore, the items must be safe and accessible for a pallet truck for loading. It is very important that the goods are well packed and protected to prevent any damage during transport.
