How can you request additional volumes?

As every year, during the busy period, you can only request extra volume via the request form on dpd.nl. The procedure applies from 4 November 2024. This allows us to optimally deploy our capacity among applicants during the busy period.

Please note that it is no longer possible to book a collection on Tuesday 24-, Friday 27- and Tuesday 31 December.

The standard procedure for extra volume requests is as follows:

Fill in the request form completely.
Send it to DPD before 12:00 daily.
DPD will process your request and you will hear by 16:00 the same day by e-mail whether your request fits.
We will collect the volume the next day.
