Hinter den Türen des YiffyToys Shops.
The 1.25% DHL „Energy-Surcharge“, that started in 2023 and set to the current value of 1.25% in November, has been set to zero at least for the next two month. We have adjusted our shipping fees to reflect that and continue to monitor the surcharge every month.
Note that independent of this, for the Month of November and December ,the „Peak Surcharge“ of +0,19€ will be in effect again. It was introduced at the same time.
Starting this month DHL has removed most of the crisis surcharges (1-3€/Kg).
Only Australia, Brazil, New Zealand, South Africa remain but are lowered.
We have already uploaded the new prices to the shop.
DHL is not longer shipping to HAITI because public order has collapsed.
So in turn we can’t either.
Sehr geehrte Kund:innen und Geschäftspartner:innen,
in Haiti ist die öffentliche Ordnung weitgehend zusammengebrochen und angesichts der eskalierenden Gewalt wurde der Ausnahmezustand ausgerufen.
Daher möchten wir Sie darüber informieren, dass wir in der aktuellen Situation den Versand von Warensendungen nach Haiti bis auf weiteres aussetzen, da wir die Leistungserbringung nicht sicherstellen können.Folgende Vertragsprodukte sind hiervon betroffen und werden ab dem Einliefertag 15.03.2024 wieder an den Absender retourniert:
…
Wir bitten Sie, in der aktuellen Situation von Nachforschungen Abstand zu nehmen.
DHL changed the number of days a parcel from Germany takes to reach it’s destination.
Italy, Netherlands, Portugal and Slovakia are not 1 day faster.
As expected, Great Britain takes 1 day longer due to the (long postponed) new customs processing gradually starting in February.
We uploaded the new DHL prices with the
DHL energy-surcharge of 1.25%,
DHL peak-surcharge (every year for November+December) and the
changed DHL Maut+CO2 surcharge for taking effect tomorrow morning.
Starting with December, DHL raises it’s „CO2+Maut surcharge“ from 0,06€ to 0.18€ per parcel.
At least the „Energy Surcharge“ stays at the 1.25% introduced for November.
Given that we try to not charge more then what we actually pay for shipping (including packaging), we will change our DHL prices for December accordingly.
These last few month DHL didn’t have an „Energy-Surcharge“.
Starting with November, DHL wants an additional 1.25% again.
So be advised to better order this week or pay a few cent more.
Also (like every year since it’s introduction)
for the Month of November and December the new „Peak Surcharge“ of +0,19€ is in effect.
We just received the new DHL prices for October.
No major surprises. We have prepared the new prices for the shop and will upload them, when the time comes.
…after Eurofurence is in the past and we had time to collapse from complete exhaustion that is.
They no longer give a comprehensive list of all their surcharges in the price list.
This makes it quite complicated.
The Energy-Surcharge gets lowered to 0.
DHL hinted that the Maut+CO2 surcharge may be lowered in a few month.
No mention if the Brexit surcharge is still in place and if it applies to Northern Ireland zip-codes.
The list of international crisis surcharges is still online, so they are likely still in effect.
Sweden and Finnland are still and additional +4.3eur for parcels to be delivered to the door instead of a closest drop-point.
Also… after cancelling our postbox themself (remodelling the post office building),
they tried to deliver the new prices to that post box. So their own research department had to figure out who to deliver it to.
The monthly changing „Energy Surcharge“ introduced by DHL at the beginning of this year,
was reduced to 0% for this and the next month.
We have lowered our DHL shipping prices for Germany accordingly
We implemented the updated DHL surcharges for the month of May in the YiffyToys shop.
Note that these are only surcharges that DHL charges on top of the regular shipping prices.
To be completely fair to everyone and charge exactly what DHL charges.
(Because if we don’t, ultimately all customers together pay the difference.)
DHL reduces the „energy surcharge“ from 2.50% to 1.25% as the effects of the Russian war in the Ukraine diminishes.
This surcharge is published by DHL monthly.
DHL lowers the „crisis fee“ for:
… It’s a long list.
They also lower the „crisis fees“ for some entire lists of countries like „zone 4“ from 1.5€/Kg to 0.35€/Kg
„am 20.04.2023 haben wir Sie über die Berechnung der Haustürzustellungen in Schweden und Finnland seit
Januar 2023 informiert. Dabei ist uns leider ein Fehler unterlaufen.
Die Zusatzkosten für eine Haustürzustellung werden Ihnen entsprechend Ihrer aktuellen Preiskonditionen
bereits ab Januar 2023 für eingelieferte DHL Paket International Premium Sendungen in Rechnung gestellt
und nicht wie fälschlicherweise kommuniziert erst ab dem 01.05.2023.“
DHL wrote that they informed people on the 20th of April about a new fee for Sweden and Finnland effective since January. …spot the mistake.
