Label error — No nearby DHL drop-off location

Written by Rez

What this error means

If a merchant sees the following error when generating a DHL return label:

“Multiple problems found, see Additional Details”

and the issue relates to a DHL drop-off location, it usually means DHL could not find a supported service point near the consumer’s postcode.

This typically happens when:

  • DHL does not offer drop-off coverage in that area

  • The postcode is outside DHL’s supported service point network

  • No nearby DHL drop-off locations are currently available


How to fix it

Choose one of the following options:

Option 1: Use a different carrier

Switch to a carrier with better drop-off coverage in the consumer’s area, such as:

  • Royal Mail

  • Evri

This is usually the quickest solution.


Option 2: Use a DHL collection service

If available, switch from a DHL drop-off service to a DHL collection service instead.

With a collection service, DHL collects the parcel directly from the consumer rather than requiring a nearby drop-off point.


Before retrying with DHL

Check DHL’s service point finder to confirm whether drop-off coverage exists for the consumer’s postcode before generating a new label.
