Every carrier in our network publishes its own size and weight envelope - and the limits are different for domestic and international shipments. The figures below are what each carrier actually applies at the first sorting hub, so check yours against them before booking.
Domestic shipments (within Spain)
SEUR / DPD
Maximum longest side 150 cm, maximum volume 0.35 m³, sum of all three sides up to 300 cm for parcels up to 31.5 kg. Non-standard parcels: longest side between 150 cm and 250 cm, provided the sum of the other two sides does not exceed 60 cm. For pallets the base must not exceed 120 × 80 cm and the height 180 cm; remember to add the Euro pallet itself - 14.4 cm height and 25 kg weight - to your declaration. Pallet billing is based on the higher of a minimum volumetric weight of 288 kg or the actual weight if greater. For parcels generally, when volumetric weight exceeds 10 kg and is greater than actual weight, SEUR/DPD bills on volumetric.
SEUR Pickup → home delivery: longest side up to 150 cm, weight up to 31.5 kg, sum of dimensions up to 300 cm.
Home pick-up → SEUR Pickup point: longest side up to 150 cm, weight up to 20 kg, base perimeter + longest side up to 300 cm (2 × a + 2 × b + H, where H is the longest side).
SEUR Pickup Station (locker): actual weight up to 20 kg, dimensions up to 59 × 44 × 50 cm.
DHL
For a standard parcel the longest side cannot exceed 120 cm and no other side may exceed 60 cm. If the longest side is over 120 cm, or any other side is over 60 cm, a non-standard surcharge applies. For pallets the base is capped at 120 × 80 cm and the total height (pallet included) at 210 cm. Add the Euro pallet's 14.4 cm height and 25 kg weight when entering your declaration.
UPS
Base perimeter + longest side cannot exceed 300 cm. UPS also accepts Large Packages - parcels where length + girth (2 × width + 2 × height) is between 300 cm and 400 cm. Large Packages carry a minimum billable weight of 40 kg. Maximum dimensions for a non-standard parcel: length + girth < 300 cm. Any parcel above 32 kg actual weight, wrapped in stretch film, or where the longest side exceeds 100 cm or the second-longest exceeds 76 cm is treated as non-standard. For UPS Access Point drop-off the limits are: longest side 97 cm, total length + girth 300 cm, maximum weight 20 kg.
FedEx
For a standard parcel the longest side cannot exceed 150 cm, no other side 70 cm, and the sum of the two longest sides cannot exceed 180 cm. For a non-standard parcel the sum of dimensions stays within 300 cm and the longest side within 200 cm. FedEx also offers a long-format service: items longer than 200 cm where the other two dimensions stay within 80 cm and actual or volumetric weight stays under 70 kg. The maximum permissible length for long-format is 300 cm. For pallets the base is 120 × 80 cm and the total height (pallet included) 180 cm; add 14.4 cm and 25 kg for the Euro pallet itself.

Our calculator validates your numbers against every carrier's published envelope in real time. If the parcel falls outside all standard services, the system automatically routes you to a pallet or oversized quote instead.
