434*****51 received in 9 days

Just great. DHL once again met expectations 100%. The parcel was delivered from the USA to distant Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky incredibly quickly. Even the situation of the pre-New Year bustle, maximum overstocking and workload of carriers and customs did not have any negative impact on delivery times

657*****13 received in 3 days

Thank you very much!!! The parcel arrived in 3 days, I’m very pleased that I don’t have to stand in line at the post office. The courier delivered the parcel home. It’s worth the money for delivery))

405*****85 received in 30 days

DHL works quickly, but only serves where they have an office. I redirected the parcel to a relative in Moscow and he has already forwarded it to me.

836*****86 received in 4 days

I used the services of DHL to deliver goods to me from an online store, delivery was paid in full. When she was already in Moscow, I received a message that she had applied for me paid service customs representative for 1062 rubles. There is no tariff plan on their website, it is reported that an agreement should have been concluded with me for this operation, but since I once used this company and they kept my passport data, they applied this service to me without my opinion. When delivering my parcel, the courier gave me a sheet with the name of this service as “Customs declaration for the register of goods for personal use worth from 200 to 1000 euros.” This tariff and service are not on the official website of the company and are applied to the user automatically without their knowledge or warning. In fact, the courier offered me just to send my parcel back to the warehouse and further fate she would not be known.

757*****75 received in 5 days

Thank you!!! Many thanks to all the staff. Delivered very quickly, even faster than stated. Great!!!

359*****81 received in 8 days

The parcel was delivered intact and quickly. But, DHL in Bulgaria, at least in my estimation and according to customs officials, has turned into a well-established system for extorting any additional payments. Given the alternative, I will never do business with this company.

557*****53 received in 4 days

I unexpectedly traveled from Los Angeles to Almaty in 4 days, it was unrealistic. But this morning I actually received my documents. Thanks a lot.

Transferred for delivery only at the end of the day on May 25 (just before the onset of the weekend ) - three days of intense customs work on one parcel!. The work of a wonderful delivery service must be ruined like this! Well done guys!

686*****45 received in 9 days

DHL service absolutely SUCKS!!! I ordered the first parcel, it was returned back to the seller because I seemed unable to confirm the customs value, although I had an invoice from the seller and a copy of the payment in my hands. Ordered from another seller 3 parcels for 3 different people(45 USD each) to Poland from China, the parcels arrived in 4 days and went to the warehouse due to the fact that no one was at home. I wrote letters through the site 3 times stating that the parcel would be received in person on such and such a day. These letters did not reach anywhere and I never received an answer to them. Instead, the seller was sent a notification via DHL that the parcel had not been delivered and would be returned to him in China. The location of the warehouse in Bialystok was not indicated, I had to look for it for about an hour. It turned out that there are 2 different DHL warehouses - for local parcels and for international ones, which are located in completely different places. At the first office, a creature roared at me reception - how does it know where my package is and that it is definitely not theirs. After 10 minutes it turned out that it was theirs - but in another international office. The creature, after a long swearing, wrote a piece of paper with the address and threw it to me. Rudeness is rampant! At the second office, they gave me parcels and gave me invoices for an additional payment of 200 zlotys, it’s unclear why. The limit was not exceeded, no one explained anything. I had to pay and pick up the parcels. The result is that for each parcel I paid 20 dollars for delivery (20*3=60) + 50 dollars for unknown reasons upon receipt. COMPLETE SUCKS!!! If you don’t want to get money, then don’t order through this company! Only regular Chinese mail and no problems!

Many foreign online stores, sellers on eBay (especially European branches) can send a parcel to your address using the DHL Express courier delivery service (not to be confused with DHL - German Post). However, if the cost of such a parcel is more than 200 euros (including delivery), in the Russian Federation, before it is delivered, it will have to go through customs clearance. We will focus on the algorithm of this procedure.

If you, as an individual, receive a parcel from abroad in the Russian Federation through the DHL courier delivery service, then you need to know the following:

  1. WITH individuals In the Russian Federation, the DHL delivery service does not currently work, but an exception has been made for some foreign online stores, such as Shopbop.com, Gilt.com, Amazon.com, MYHABIT.com.
  2. The duty-free limit for citizens of the Russian Federation does not change depending on the delivery service and is 1000 euros.
  3. If the customs value of a parcel received via DHL is less than 200 euros, then it is usually immediately handed over to the recipient without completing any additional documents. However, especially in the regions, they require registration of parcels with a value of up to 200 euros.
  4. If the customs value of the postal item, minus delivery, exceeds 200 euros, it will require customs clearance. It can be done either independently or for a fee, with the help of a customs broker (in Moscow this service will cost approximately 600 rubles. If you decide to use the services of a broker, then upon receipt it is enough to transfer the required amount to the courier; no additional documents are required.).

Below, we have compiled a brief algorithm of actions that you will have to take if the cost of the parcel received via DHL is more than 200 euros and you want to carry out customs clearance yourself.

  1. As soon as the parcel arrives at your regional DHL office and its cost is more than 200 euros, a company agent contacts you (usually by phone), reports this fact and that it is necessary to carry out customs clearance either independently or through a broker (usually the latter is recommended ).
  2. If you have indicated that you will resolve the issue yourself, he will offer to send you by fax or email application form to fill out.
  3. In addition to the fully completed application (2 copies, sample, for Moscow), you may need the following documents:
    1. Original and copy of civil passport (all pages with photos and registration address).
    2. An official statement of payment card transactions from the bank with a stamp where you can identify the payment confirming the cost of the parcel. Sometimes it is enough to independently print out online banking pages or transactions in Paypal (where this operation is available). Please note that in the card statement, the funds for the required transaction should not be blocked, but withdrawn.
    3. A copy of the front side of the payment card (it is advisable to have the original with you).
    4. A copy of the order confirmation. This may be a letter (printout), which usually arrives by email when the order is made (or sent). If these letters are not available, print a screenshot of the online store page where there is information about the order. At this point it is better to collect everything that is available.
  4. Having previously called the DHL agent and clarified his work schedule (usually weekdays from 9 to 16 plus a lunch break), you yourself take the completed application and copies of documents to the DHL office (in Moscow, this is usually 8 March str., building 14, addresses and telephone numbers other branches are available on the DHL website).
  5. The registration procedure takes different times, depending on the agent: from 20 minutes to an hour.
  6. After everything necessary documents are issued (the fee, if necessary, paid), you agree with the agent on the date of delivery of the parcel (usually the next day the courier delivers it to the specified address). In some regions they offer to pick up the parcel immediately, independently.

Now some more useful information:

  • As soon as DHL representatives have contacted you, find out the cost of brokerage services and if you intend to carry out customs clearance yourself, clearly and unambiguously inform us about this. Brokerage services are often imposed, and quite persistently.
  • Remember that DHL stores the parcel for free only for the first three days, then for another week (531 rubles for the entire time). Weekends and holidays are also taken into account. After this time, the parcel may be sent back.
  • IN different regions In the Russian Federation, the amounts charged for processing and storing the parcel vary, as does the entire procedure. In some places they just ask you to come to the office to sign documents, in some places they make you sweat.
