DHL: change delivery date - how it works
If you expect a DHL order on a day when you are not at home, you can change the delivery date. In this article we clarify exactly how this works and what you need to consider.
Change the delivery date for your own DHL shipment
You can only change the delivery date for your own DHL shipments. To do this, you need the tracking number, which you usually receive from the sender. Then proceed as follows:
- Open the DHL tracking website and enter your number.
- You will then see your expected delivery date. Below, in the "Delivery Service" section, click "Are you not at home? Now you can flexibly choose the day and place of delivery."
- In the new tab, click on "Change delivery day" and select your desired delivery date from the calendar displayed.
- Once you have confirmed your selection, DHL will only deliver on your desired date.
- Tip: As an alternative to an appointment change, you can also determine a storage location for the postman or name a neighbor to whom the package should be returned. To do this, select the corresponding option on the DHL website.
