According to foreign media reports, DHL Parcel, a package department under the German express delivery group DHL, recently stated that it will increase the package rates for commercial customers starting from October 1st. As for the reason for such measures, the reason given is the sharp increase in personnel costs and the continuous increase in transportation costs caused by inflation.

This price increase involves domestic and international DHL package transportation for corporate customers, but it does not affect domestic and international DHL Express business. Corporate customers will receive separate notifications regarding price adjustments; But the DHL package shipping price for private customers remains unchanged.

At the same time, our company also learned that in order to help customers cope with the pressure of higher energy costs, DHL actually waived the energy surcharge levied from January 1, 2023 on August 1 of this year. The highway toll and carbon dioxide surcharge will be charged at different time periods in accordance with the proposed amendments to road traffic regulations.

DHL is expected to announce the 2023 peak season surcharge soon. Last August, the courier giant announced that it would charge peak surcharges in November and December, with an average surcharge of 0.19 euros per package. As for how much the price will increase this year, it will depend on the specific notice in the future.
