Overview
This guide explains how to use EasyPost to rate and ship with DHL Express. It covers receiving rates, generating shipping labels, and resources for international shipments.
Receiving Accurate Rates
DHL Express provides real-time shipping rates through the EasyPost API after a DHL Express carrier account has been configured.
Parcel dimensions are required when requesting rates for DHL Express shipments. Rating requests submitted without parcel dimensions return an error.
For reseller accounts, upload the negotiated rate table to the EasyPost DHL Express account to receive negotiated rates. Contact support@easypost.com for assistance with the rate table upload process.
For carrier-specific information, including account setup, service levels, billing, and supported features, see the DHL Express Carrier Guide.
