Select this point by clicking on "More information on DHL online franking". Here you will find a corresponding menu through which you can choose from a wide variety of package sizes, including additional shipping options, suitable for your shipment.
2. Select the shipping method you want and the corresponding maximum weight of your package. You can get more information about the different shipping methods by hovering your mouse over the respective question mark.
3. Enter the sender and recipient addresses that should be printed on the address labels. Then click on "Add to shopping cart".
4. Now another one opens window, in which you can check your entered data again. In addition, it is also possible to book a special additional service, such as transport insurance or the collection of the package.
