New shipping provider
Recently I contracted to DHL as my new delivery service provider and I will dispatch my parcels using their Worldwide Express service. They offer 2 working days delivery within Europe or 3 working days delivery overseas. Their online tracking service is excellent. I will kindly ask all my dear customers to provide a mobile phone number when placing an order so DHL will send notifications prior to delivery attempt. This service would be much better than it was provided by my previous provider and the cost would be reasonable for most parcels.
Small parcels under 2kg
The basic parcel must be under 2kg in weight and its volume is also limited. I can use a standard DHL delivery box (box #3) or my own brown cardboard box which I will put into a DHL flyer (plastic bag).The small parcel can be used for the following items (examples):
- Normal size plushies (such as small sloths, crows, bunnies, sheep, etc) - up to 3 items, or
- 1 medium size sloth (nothing else can be put into the box)
- 1 personalized Dachshund dog, up to 6 letters long.
Shipping cost for a small parcel
- Within Europe: 17USD (about 15EUR, depending on the interest rate)
- US or Canada: 20USD
- Everywhere else: 26USD
You should know that there is no option for a smaller parcel therefore DHL shipping cost would be the same if you would like to order 1 small items or 3 small items together.Delivery time would be 2 working days within Europe or 3 working days overseas. Tracking service is excellent. Would you please provide a mobile phone number when placing an order so DHL will send a notification prior to their delivery attempt.
Big parcels over 2kg
The big parcel can be more than 2kg in weight and its volume is still limited. I can use a standard DHL delivery box (box #4) only.The big parcel can be used for the following items (examples):
- Normal size plushies (such as small sloths, crows, bunnies, sheep, etc) - up to 6 (or maybe 7) items, or
- 1 XXL size sloth (maybe 1 additional small item)
- 2 personalized Dachshund dog, up to 6 letters long each.
Shipping cost for a big parcel
- Within Europe: 36USD (about 32EUR, depending on the interest rate)
- US or Canada: 45USD
- Everywhere else: 60USD
Delivery time would be 2 working days within Europe or 3 working days overseas. Tracking service is excellent. Would you please provide a mobile phone number when placing an order so DHL will send a notification prior to their delivery attempt.
However the service is excellent but DHL shipping costs for these parcels are significantly higher than my previous provider's prices. Probably you can consider to use economy shipping for these parcels.
Economy shipping
However the new service level provided by DHL would absolutely worth the price for most of the parcels but I would like also offer a cheaper option. That low cost delivery service would be provided by Hungarian Post and your local postal provider - USPS in the US, Royal Mail in the UK and so on. If one chooses that "economy" service then there won't be any tracking. Once the package is dispatched then sadly I won't be able to provide any information on delivery status.
