DHL Express gets heavy

[ May 11, 2026   //   Chris Lewis ]

DHL Express has introduced a Heavy Weight Express (HWX) air solution for shipments up to 1,000 kilograms per piece and 3,000 kilograms per shipment in over 220 countries. It offers guaranteed express transit times, comprehensive shipment visibility at every stage, and is supported by the introduction of dedicated Heavy Weight Priority Desks around the world.

Specialized teams are responsible for proactive tracking, early exception detection, real time intervention, and direct communication with customers. Each heavyweight shipment receives dedicated case ownership. It also aims to reduce shippers’ dependence on fluctuating airline capacity and removing the cost variability of add on fees and handling surcharges.
