DPD vs. DHL: What’s the Difference?

DPD and DHL are two different companies, both major players in logistics but operating independently. DPD is part of the DPDgroup, which primarily focuses on parcel deliveries in Europe and offers services like DPD Classic and DPD Air Express.

DPD is known for its detailed tracking, including flexible delivery options like redirecting parcels and specifying safe drop-off points whereas DHL is recognized for its global air freight capabilities.
