At Shipmondo, you can buy DHL Freight Sweden shipments.

With DHL Freight, you can send both parcels and pallets within Sweden, and from Sweden to abroad.

When you buy DHL Freight shipments, the pick-up of your parcel at your address is included in the freight price.

It is important that you comply with the permitted measurements when you ship with DHL Freight and that the filled-out dimensions are as accurate as possible for the freight price to be calculated correctly. Incorrect measurements/weights will be corrected at the freight payer's expense at the current rates.

If you exceed the maximum dimensions, you will be charged a surcharge for an oversize package.

You can read more about DHL Freight's requirements for shipments here.
