Cash on delivery: Hermes and DPD
Austria and Germany
Did you know that …
The carriers Hermes in Germany and DPD in Austria offer your customers the option of cash on delivery to the price of 700 EUR? All of this information can be found in the complete price list.
Hermes is changing the form of invoicing
Considering the carrier Hermes (ID 6373), for now, a special charge for cash on delivery has to be paid directly by the customer during the handing over of the parcel. From 1. 12. 2020, a change will occur, Hermes will no longer collect the mentioned charge and will invoice it additionally with the price of delivery. Therefore, the customer will only pay the value of the parcel when taking over the delivery.
It is good to know:
The carrier Hermes enables sending parcels using cash on delivery only with service delivery to address (ID 6373).
