DHL GERMANY

[elke888]

Hi All,
now I ask this question before and I'm trying to get more certainty , because of failed attempt two year back. When I arrive in Frankfurt I need to sent preferable a suit case with winter stuff to my brother also in Germany. I managed to book the Laugavegur track in Iceland ,which I'm very excited about. But I'm nervous about getting the right info on sending stuff. I followed Ivar's blog on how to send parcels to him and I think it was mentioned that it is ,possible to sent suitcase as well.I wonder if this is possible from Frankfurt airport.
Cheers Elke

May I suggest that you or your brother contact DHL directly? Because it's the only way you can guarantee that the information will be correct.

Usually everything needs to be in a cardboard box for sending it with DHL in Germany.

As far as I know, you can send a suitcase "as it is", but only via the more expensive "Sperrgutversand".

Sperrgut verschicken | DHL

Möchten Sie ein besonders großes Paket versenden? Mit dem Service Sperrgut können Sie auch Sendungen verschicken, die größer als 120 x 60 x 60 cm oder nicht quader- oder rollenförmig sind. Jetzt in der DHL Online Frankierung auswählen.

Hope that helps.
