Different shipping service providers have offers for a package Hermes ,DHL, DPD, GLS and Amazon Prime shipping boxes in different sizes can be found easily at Verpacking.com. Most shipping service providers have a choice of different parcel classes. Hermes Germany distinguishes between the classes package, S-package, M-package, L-package and XL-package. The same weight limit of 25 KG applies to the different box sizes. Depending on the weight of the goods, a single-wall or double-wall shipping carton is recommended. The FEFCO design enables an international standardization of the offered packaging means in a reasonable differentiation according to type, material and size. For example, as a folding and collapsible carton or with a reinforced base, each basic type of packaging has four code numbers. The code refers to solid and corrugated board and has been valid since the 1960s. For Hermes shipping, nationally and internationally, all specified parcel classes are offered, which allow correct packaging to make the shipment as safe as possible.

For shipping, you can use folding boxes offered in the Hermes ParcelShops or boxes that have the same dimensions. Alternatively, you can buy your Hermes parcel online. Verpacking.com offers versatile cardboard boxes in this category.  Shipping is possible with Hermes from just 3.70 euros and comes with tracking included. The cardboard boxes are made of corrugated cardboard, are stable and robust, exportable and intended for high load capacity.

These are the advantages of a box made of corrugated board

Corrugated cardboard is a particularly robust material that allows the necessary protection for shipping packages. It comes in different types, and the type of corrugation in particular plays a role in the stability of the cardboard boxes. Single corrugated cartons contain an outer and inner side, between which sits a corrugated paper web. This variant is well suited for lighter shipments such as that of a package.

The double flute corrugated cardboard box usually combines several flute types and contains two fluted paper webs, with a fine one glued to a coarser one. The load capacity of these cardboard boxes is somewhat higher. Corrugated cardboard has a low dead weight and, due to the type of corrugation, helps determine the quality of the cardboard. Folding cartons that have high edge crush resistance and good bursting strength are excellent. The puncture resistance of single corrugated carton is slightly lower than that of double corrugated carton. For shipping with Hermes, you can reuse cardboard boxes, purchase packaging at the ParcelShop or buy the package online. There are some advantages when you order packaging material from the specialist. Buying online is usually cheaper and requires little time.

Hermes shipping rules: Weight and dimensions

There is a standard weight class for a Hermes parcel box. While very heavy parcels are considered freight or bulky goods, there is a greater margin at Hermes Germany to send goods even with the cheaper package box. The weight is set at 25 kg with this provider to be sent in the package class. For parcel collection, the maximum weight increases to 31.5 kg.

It is important to comply with the Hermes parcel dimensions, otherwise the package must be sent in the more expensive S-package class. The longest and shortest side of the box together may not exceed 37 cm. Accordingly, another cardboard box that was not purchased from the shipping service provider itself may also be used as packaging.

Prices and postage costs for small shipping cartons

Hermes is considered one of the best service providers for shipping small parcels, as the postage costs are lower compared to other providers. Hermes parcel price depends on the delivery method. For a delivery to a ParcelShop, the Hermes parcel prices are currently only 3.70 euros. Delivery to the front door costs 4.50 euros. The small additional costs are usually worth it for the more convenient delivery to the front door.

Alternatively, there is the S parcel, where both sides of the shipping box may add up to a maximum of 50 cm. This parcel is also designed for a weight of 25 kg and costs 4.40 euros. Compared to the Hermes parcel, the S parcel has a higher liability amount of 500 euros and is therefore suitable for valuable items such as smartphones. Accordingly, the low Hermes parcel costs for national and international shipping are mainly worthwhile for goods that do not exceed a value of €50. For larger goods, there is the M parcel with a maximum of 80 cm and the L parcel with a maximum of 120 cm parcel circumference. The weight remains the same for all variants, as does the liability. The costs for the M and L parcel are currently €5.40 and €10.40 respectively.

The uses and advantages of a package

With the dispatch of a Hermes parcel it is possible to save postage costs and still have the advantages of tracking and liability. It is possible to request shipment to a Hermes ParcelShop or to specify home delivery. Compared to the parcel, the package class is intended for smaller shipments for which letter mail is no longer possible.

The cardboard boxes are excellent for light products, such as DVDs and CDs, books, electronics, sweets or clothing. For books, package shipping is recommended when the maximum weight for a book and merchandise shipment is exceeded or tracking is desired.

Hermes parcels can be loaded with up to 25 kg and are a good and inexpensive option for many online stores and retailers. Shipping is fast and uncomplicated, both nationally and internationally. Tracking is included in the price, which is not always the case with other providers. Shipping a package is not slower than parcels and is 1 to 2 business days. In most cases, Hermes shipments reach their destination within one day.

The small Hermes parcel box can fit, for example, smaller goods and products, electronics, food, clothing, shoes, books, CDs, DVDs, candy, gifts, toys or jewelry. Sufficiently padded, fragile goods can also be sent, including glasses, bottles and dishes. In this case, individual wrapping with packing paper and additional padding is advisable to prevent damage. Carton packages are basically a good alternative to other shipping options and, as an insured shipment, are more practical than a merchandise shipment or a large letter, since tracking of the delivery route is included.

At the same time, the shipping route for book and merchandise shipments takes significantly longer, while the Hermes parcel arrives reliably in 1 to 2 business days. For online stores and retailers, this is also a decisive plus point, as fast shipping increases customer satisfaction. In contrast to merchandise shipments, which must be visible at all times, the parcel can be completely sealed and secured and cannot be opened like a large or maxi letter.

With MyHermes it is also possible to report a damaged parcel. If this is recognizable as external damage, the letter carrier issues a damage card, which is filled out completely and sent to MyHermes as a report. In addition, the purchase invoice and a screenshot of the sales or purchase confirmation are necessary so that the circumstances can be checked. However, it is a prerequisite that the goods have been packed according to the regulations, that an appropriate inner packaging with padding and filling material has been used and that the goods have been addressed correctly.

The process of a Hermes shipment

Hermes is a reliable shipping partner and allows for fast delivery. The shipping service provider provides a modern parcel network, on the way of which numerous automated processes are integrated, which allows a speedy processing. The parcels are exposed to various transport stresses, such as stacking, pressure, weather, cold, heat, temperature fluctuations, drop, vibration and impact. Therefore, the right packaging is particularly important to ensure the desired protection of the goods.

Shipping options are versatile at Hermes-Germany and range from online franking to pickup and extra services for bulky goods. Parcels can be sent cash on delivery or prepared for pickup. In advance, it is necessary to select the parcel class and fill out the parcel slip. Simple cartons are also suitable for parcel shipment if they are dimensionally stable, square and the longest and shortest sides together are 37 cm. Then the parcel label is created and the delivery address is specified. This is also possible online with MyHermes. The finished package can then be dropped off at one of the Hermes branches or picked up by the postal service. For home pickup, a higher shipping weight of 31.5 kg is allowed. If you want to check the shipping costs, you can use a shipping calculator on the Hermes website and find out the exact amount.

After the parcel is posted at the branch, it is processed at the parcel center. For business customers, processing sometimes also takes place at a bulk acceptance point. The type of processing can be identified by an additional sticker with a barcode. At the parcel center, the shipments are sorted and assigned to the destination by the specified postal code. They are then shipped to their destination within one working day. Delivery takes place Monday to Saturday between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. and is limited to three delivery attempts. These take place on consecutive business days, so that the shipment arrives safely at home. It is possible to track the shipment online and view the delivery status so as not to miss the delivery.

When is which shipping package worthwhile?

The distinction between a parcel and a package is especially important for franking conditions, weight, liability and cost savings. Shipping providers have specific regulations for the size and weight of packaging, but it is equally important to ship certain goods in a larger box.

Packages are initially smaller than a parcel or carton. They are characterized by their manageability and are particularly easy to use as a folding carton. As a flat cardboard box, they are unfolded and fixed in a few simple steps, resulting in the correct square shape. In the case of package shipping, liability is only up to 50 euros, while parcels are insured up to 500 euros higher. Accordingly, it is necessary to know the value of the contents and choose the cardboard box and parcel class wisely, so that in case of damage or loss, the sum is reimbursed in sufficient form. At the same time, the package Hermes offers an already generous maximum weight to be able to send some of the contents, which is consistent with the other classes of parcels.

How do I pack a package correctly?

Hermes takes care to pack the package correctly so that it can be sent without damage. The parcel classes indicate the size and quantity of the contents and are generous up to a weight of 25 kilograms, while liability and tracking is already included even for smaller Hermes parcels.To send the package Hermes compliant it is important to use a square and dimensionally stable outer packaging, which you can find as folding boxes in many ParcelShops or buy online at Verpacking.com. The cardboard boxes in the category meet the package Hermes specifications.

The outer packaging must be adapted to the contents, so that they can not be damaged or fall out. For the inner packaging, it is important to fix the contents well and stabilize them with filling material and cushion them all around. When shaking the package Hermes should not make any noise that would indicate that the item to be shipped is placed loosely inside and could be damaged. It is important to seal the package Hermes compliant, so that in case of damage the shipping company is liable, for this purpose packing tape and adhesive tape can be used. It is important to leave a larger area free for the sticker with the correct address information to go on. In order not to complicate shipping unnecessarily, it is important that the address can be applied legibly and that all important data are included. Additional information is not permitted in order to avoid misunderstandings, as this unnecessarily complicates processing.
