DHL Parcel offers international and domestic standard package services for business and private customers. DHL Express offers, as the name implies, express shipments. Express stands for fast delivery by courier service. DHL uses its own network and customs department to ensure speed is maintained. And it operates with its own vehicles (vans, trucks), own airplanes, and own people. This forms a network through which your package is delivered quickly. For example, a document to America can be delivered within 24 hours. For time-critical shipments, DHL offers a solution in the form of DHL Express end of day delivery (delivery by the end of the shipping day), or DHL Express 12:00, DHL Express 10:30 (USA) and DHL Express 09:00.
If you ship via ParcelParcel, you can only ship with DHL Express (or one of our other carriers) and not with DHL Parcel.
