HOW YOU CAN SHIP
Our shipping services
Are DHL and Yodel the same company?
Even though many people may think so, DHL and Yodel are not the same company. Originally known as Home Delivery Network Limited (HDNL), Yodel acquired the UK domestic business of DHL Group and rebranded as Yodel in 2010. Yodel offer both UK courier services and international parcel delivery worldwide. They handle over 190 million parcels on a yearly basis, operating a fleet of 5,000 trucks and 50 service centres.
Does Yodel deliver large parcels?
Yodel imposes a maximum weight of 10 kg and dimension limits of 60 cm x 50 cm x 50 cm for parcels sent domestically in the UK via their Yodel Direct service. The weight limit for international parcels is 30 kg. If you are not satisfied with Yodel shipping costs or if you need to ship large parcels, you can get an immediate shipping price with us. You can send parcels weighing up to 70 kg worldwide in 24-72h with our Priority Express Service.

Shippers can find Yodel points located in newsagents, convenience stores, supermarkets, petrol stations and shopping centres throughout the UK. With over 10,000 drop-off points throughout the country, this service allows customers to ship or return parcels with Yodel at a convenient time for them.

Does Yodel have live tracking?
Yes, the Yodel Parcel Tracker app allows shippers to monitor the progress of their shipment in real time. After downloading the app, you can track your parcel by entering your parcel reference number.
What do Yodel tracking statuses mean?
- With Sender or Awaiting Collection: The parcel has not yet been collected.
- Left Sender or Collected: The parcel has been successfully collected.
- At Yodel Depot: The parcel is at a Yodel depot and should be delivered on time. You may also see this status if the Yodel parcel delivery was unsuccessful and the parcel was brought back to the depot.
- Left Yodel Depot: The parcel has left the local depot and is being forwarded to the delivery address.
- With Courier/Driver: The parcel is with the delivery driver. For 48-72h deliveries, you can check your estimated delivery date in the parcel tracking app by inserting your tracking reference.
