Hi, I had interacted with a local (Kolkata) office of DHL. They said they won't be able to accept gems / jewelry for any delivery, though the value of the gems / jewelry are not high (less than $200). Is there any solution ? Presently I ship thru our Govt. Speed Post and its fine. But if someone opts for DHL then I want to be sure about its regulations. . Best Regards Swarup Kolkata
DHL: Dear Swarup, Due to certain restrictions, we cannot carry gems and jewelry. The restrictions do not apply to artificial gems and costume jewelry. In case the shipments that you send abroad are of non precious metals and artificial gems, we would be very keen to help you express them around the world to your customers! We can carry watches and costume jewellery as long as the individual piece value is less than USD100 and the shipment value less that USD 25000.

I have cosmetics and make-up products that I sell. I have been shipping to various countries specially by Indian postal service. But last week I shipped hair oils to Japan (250 gm approx)that were returned to me by post office saying that liquids cannot be shipped internationally due to terrorist threats and that the parcel might be thrown at the airport itself. I contacted many courier services but all refused to take the parcel. Please let me know if DHL can help in this matter as I will be shipping lot more such items . I am in Jammu right now. What are the documents required for such a parcel due to security risks these days? Can DHL ship my products to buyer safely?
What help can DHL give to small sellers with respect to both national and international shipping? Being "star-ups" we don't want a prospective buyer to do an-about-turn as soon as he sees the shipping charge
I have not yet started selling. But I intend to sell women clothing - especially Zari / Embroidery dress materials as well as sarees both locally (India) and internationally.
Please publish your special offer rates for Ebay.in sellers for the above materials
i expect my international shipping bill monthly to be 40000.00 if i use Dhl as i am currently using aramex , speedpost , bombino , gulshan etc and combined billings go to around 25000 plus,
If i plan to close all alternatives and move over to DHL I would like to know about following
(a) what if a packet does not reach within 15 days to a destination supposedly serviceable in 7 days max (b) what is a packet with a declared value of 3000.00 INR gets lost/misdirected in transit how does DHL reimburse in both above cases as a general rule

Hi I am Registered Seller On ebay India and I am looking to sell internationally. I don’t have a Import Export License. I am looking at selling to customers who are going to use the products them self and not going to resale them. So it is for self use. I am going to ship say an average of 3 items per month. So what is the documentation requirement to ship the items globally & if possible can u give us sample format of these documents for our reference which will help us a lot.
Hello, The rates of DHL are too high in comparision to Indiapost. Indiapost delivers anywhere within 7 days. Now Indiapost has appointed agents who collects the parcels from our offices and gets the receipts to us, we do not have to pay anything extra to them. The Custom Checking is done before dispatch in Indiapost. With due respect sir, I would like to know from you that are you planning anything reasonable and attractive for the ebay community so that we can add DHL in our list of the post we are using for our foreign dispatches. Thanks Nikanj Pareek Rajasthanstore
DHL rates are prohibitive. SpeedPost is very reasonable and efficient. To be in the fray DHL has to come out with a special tailor-made scheme for eBay India sellers. Otherwise I am not there.
