Hermes calculates the size of parcels that can be sent based on the longest + shortest side. These two sides must be added together and be smaller than or equal to the maximum length. Hermes offers the following parcel classes: Hermes package (37 cm), S-Parcel (50 cm), M-Parcel (80 cm), L-Parcel (120 cm), XL-Parcel (150 cm) and XXL-Parcel (200 cm).
Thanks to our predefined Hermes packaging categories, you can quickly and easily find the perfect box for your shipping needs. We offer you exactly the right packaging for postage-optimized shipping that allows you to save costs.
Depending on the category and delivery method, there are different weight limits. The Hermes XXL parcel, XL parcel, L parcel, M parcel and S parcel are limited to a maximum of 31.5 kg. The Hermes package is limited to maximum 25 kg.There are special cases in which the weight limits may change, such as shipping abroad or picking up the package directly from the sender. Please visit the Hermes website for detailed information on these cases.
Depending on the size of your shipment, your Hermes order can be delivered to a Hermes parcel shop or parcel station, directly to your home or you can choose to pick it up directly from the sender. This table provides an overview of which categories can be shipped in which way.
There are no special cartons for shipping with Hermes. However, the size of the corresponding packaging and a sturdy construction are important. The advantage of our cartons is that they are made of high-quality materials and we have categorized them for you in a postage-optimized way so that you do not have to pay any extra costs when shipping.
Yes, Hermes offers both shipping within Europe and to non-European countries. European shipping is divided into different EU zones, which include different countries. Prices and shipping conditions vary depending on the zone. When shipping to non-European countries, please note that you will need to complete a customs declaration. For a detailed overview, please refer to the Hermes website.
First of all, it is important to choose the right carton for your shipment. It shouldn't be too small, so as not to damage your goods, but also not too big, so as not to incur extra postage costs and leave your goods with too much leeway. It is worth using a box made of high-quality material, lining it with padding and filling material, and sealing it securely with the appropriate adhesive tape.
To optimally protect your goods, you should use cushioning and filling material, such as bogus paper or bubble wrap. We offer a wide range of high-quality adhesive tape for sealing your boxes, providing a solution for every shipping need and including warning labels such as “Caution, glass”. To make your shipping process more efficient, you can use a delivery note pouch
to attach important shipping documents directly to the outside of the package and transport them in a waterproof manner.
Yes, Hermes offers an additional service for sending bulky items for a service charge. However, this service is only available for shipments within Germany. To find out about other additional services, please visit the Hermes website.
That depends entirely on the size of your package and the associated Hermes category. You can easily create the parcel label on the Hermes website and either print it out yourself and stick it on the package or use the mobile parcel label. For this, you will receive a QR code that you can show at the Hermes parcel shop, where your shipping label will be printed. The third option is to fill out a parcel label on the spot.
Our cardboard boxes are made of robust corrugated cardboard and , of course, recyclable. Due to their stable construction, they can also be reused several times. By choosing a quality product from verpacking, you are contributing to a more sustainable packaging process.
Yes, Hermes includes shipment tracking for all parcel categories.
Yes, Hermes offers free liability insurance for your shipment. Depending on the Hermes parcel category, the insurance amount is between €50 for a Hermes parcel and €500 for all other shipping categories. This liability does not apply if prohibited items are shipped or the goods have been inadequately packaged. Claims must be supported by precise documentation of the damage or loss, which must be reported within 21 days of delivery.
We offer attractive bulk pricing for larger quantities, which you can use to save effectively. It's best to plan your order carefully and combine individual orders or order in advance. We also regularly offer discounts on certain product groups.
To save even more, you can find out about our premium customer program, through which we offer additional discounts, here.
Simply send unwieldy items as bulky goods with our shipping cartons
There are a few things to keep in mind if you want to buy a Hermes carton. If parcels are not square or if individual parts protrude from the packaging, the bulky goods additional service must be booked. A one-time fee of €19.95 per shipment is charged for this. Other additional services do not have to be booked separately, as they are usually already included in the respective parcel class (for example, liability or shipment tracking).
The bulky goods shipping service is available only for shipments within Germany and unfortunately is not offered for shipments abroad. Size and weight restrictions also apply. Parcels must weigh at least 200 g and may not weigh more than 31.5 kg. They must have a length of less than 200 cm and a width and height of less than 80 cm each. Make sure to pack your bulky goods in a stable and break-proof manner. Use sufficient padding material so that the goods are optimally protected even during longer transport routes or in case of shocks.
So-called non-system-compliant shipments are to be distinguished from bulky goods. These cannot be processed internally due to their characteristics. This includes all shipments that are outside the weight range applicable to bulky goods (lighter or heavier) and/or do not meet the size requirements.
Send our sustainable packaging sustainably with Hermes environmental offsetting
Buying a Hermes shipping carton can also have a positive impact on the environment. The shipping company is committed to keeping its carbon footprint as small as possible. For this reason, the emissions caused by delivery are offset. The corporate partner atmosfair focuses on developing and supporting renewable energy projects in developing countries.
Current examples include efficient stoves in Rwanda, which are heavily subsidized by atmosfair, small biogas plants in Nepal that reduce CO₂ emissions in energy supply, and water treatment plants in Burkina Faso that provide clean drinking water. This is how your shipping is effectively made climate neutral.
In addition, the mail-order company is increasingly investing in electric vehicles in large cities in order to actively reduce emissions itself. Investing in new, modern logistics locations and modernizing existing buildings further increases the company's sustainability. So you get low prices and a clear conscience.
Order cartons online from verpacking and send them in person at a Hermes parcel shop.
With over 16,000 Hermes parcel shops throughout Germany, this option offers a convenient way to hand over your parcels in person to a member of staff. To do this, your Hermes packaging must have a Hermes parcel label. You can fill out the parcel label by hand at the parcel shop. It is more convenient to create it online from home. If the shipment is urgent, you can buy cartons at the parcel shop.
On the Hermes website, you will find a subpage that allows you to enter your personal data. After entering the recipient and sender addresses, you just need to click on the desired payment method. You can choose between cash payment when you drop off the parcel at the parcel shop, payment via PayPal or by credit card.
Immediately afterwards, you will receive your parcel label as a QR code, which you can download from a PDF file. It can also be sent to you as an e-mail attachment. With this document, you can now go to a Hermes parcel shop. The employee there will scan your QR code and print out the parcel label for you on the spot. If you would rather print out the parcel label yourself, make sure that you select “Online parcel label” on the Hermes website, not “Mobile parcel label”, so that nothing goes wrong when you create your parcel label.
Your advantages with Hermes delivery
The Hermes Group offers senders some interesting advantages. With all package classes, shipment tracking is included at no extra charge. This allows recipients and senders to track them. The recipient can also see when his delivery will be made and, if necessary, organize to be at home at that time.
It is particularly annoying for customers when goods arrive damaged. In this case, the shipping provider assumes liability if certain criteria are met. For parcels in sizes S to XXL, goods up to a value of €500 are insured, and parcels include liability for items up to €50. No surcharge is payable for this service.
In contrast to other shipping service providers, the Hermes shipping service has the lowest exclusion criteria for liability. Nevertheless, you are not liable, for example, for damage to the goods if the packaging was inadequate. Certain package contents are also generally excluded from liability, including perishable goods, live animals or illegal items.
