What you get

Everything DHL Express does, no portal logins required.

Once your MyDHL credentials are in /carriers, every Express product flows through Shipnest with full customs + tracking.

Every Express product priced

Worldwide Priority (N, P), Express 12:00 (T, K), Express Worldwide (D, U), Express 9:00 (Y, L), Economy Select (W) — all quoted in parallel against your other carriers. Service codes resolve to human names so the UI doesn't make you memorise the alphabet.

Paperless Trade with your signature

DHL is the only carrier that accepts the signature inline per shipment. Upload your signature image once in /settings/customs and every Express commercial invoice carries it — DHL skips the printed-form requirement, customs clears faster.

EORI / IOSS / VAT auto-stamping

EU export? We attach your EORI. UK export? Your GB EORI + VAT. Order ≤ €150 going to the EU? IOSS number stamped on the invoice so the buyer doesn't get charged VAT at delivery. All managed in /settings/customs once.

ServicePoint pickup routing

Hold-at-pickup-point routes the parcel to the buyer's nearest DHL ServicePoint instead of their door. Surcharge surfaces inline on the quote so price is honest before you buy.

Track Notifications push webhooks

DHL Express exposes a clean push API for tracking. We auto-subscribe at connect — delivery scans land in seconds, not 30 minutes. Triggers your SHIPMENT_DELIVERED rules immediately.

Your contract, your rates

Labels billed to your MyDHL account at your contracted pricing. Shipnest takes zero relay margin on DHL Express — we charge for the platform layer only.

How it works

MyDHL account + paste + ship.

  1. 1
    Get your MyDHL API credentials

    If you don't already have an Express account, contact your DHL Express sales rep to register one. Existing customers can request API access through MyDHL.com → API → Get Started.

  2. 2
    Paste credentials into /carriers

    Username + Password + Account Number. We test the connection with a real rate request before saving — you'll know in seconds if the credentials work.

  3. 3
    Set up customs once

    /settings/customs → upload your signature image + paste your EORI / IOSS / VAT. Every future Express commercial invoice gets the right paperwork attached automatically. No per-order customs form to fill in.

  4. 4
    Quote + buy

    Every order quotes Express alongside your other carriers. Buy any service from Express Worldwide to Economy Select; PDF arrives inline with paperless trade signature pre-applied.

Built for international shippers

Best when DHL Express is part of your daily flow.

DHL Express resale is forbidden by their contract (we can't relay their rates to you), so you'll always connect your own MyDHL account. That said, once it's in: customs forms, signatures and tracking are fully automated — same level of polish as our platform-rate carriers.

  • BYO posture — Shipnest holds zero financial exposure on your DHL Express shipments. You pay DHL via your MyDHL invoice; we charge for the platform layer only.
  • Paperless Trade saves the driver from printing 4 copies of the commercial invoice + stapling them to the parcel. Faster customs, faster delivery, fewer customer complaints.
  • Push tracking via Track Notifications API — delivery events fire your SHIPMENT_DELIVERED rules in seconds, not after a 30-min polling tick.
