DSV System

- Maximum package size: longest side 2.40 m, second side 1.80 m, height 2.20 m
- Maximum weight per package: 1 500 kg
- Tail-lift deliveries: max 1 000 kg per package (800 kg to France, Spain, Portugal, Poland, Italy and Sweden)
- Maximum billable weight per shipment: 2 500 kg
DSV System is the standard groupage option for business-to-business freight. Its standard delivery time is one to two days longer than DSV System Priority; you can check transit times in the DSV Scheduler.
DSV System does not carry removal goods, temperature-controlled goods, live animals, unpackaged plants or perishables, weapons and ammunition under weapons-control law, shipments that must be unloaded from the side or by crane, or packages over 30 kg that a floor conveyor cannot move.
What does it cost?The price you see in Sendify already includes all of DSV's charges. The minimum charge is 240 SEK per shipment.
Booking and handling
- Register pickups with DSV customer service before 22:00 on the pickup day, or before 10:00 if the pickup is outside the responsible office's routing area.
- Use transport-safe packaging and mark each item with a barcode label.
- Attach delivery notes to the goods - they are not transported separately.
- DSV collects and delivers Monday–Friday, 08:00–16:00.
Pickup and delivery times for DSV are estimates and can be affected by traffic, weather or customs, so they cannot be guaranteed. Cancel in good time: if you cancel after the booking cut-off time, DSV may charge a late cancellation fee of 50-70% of the shipment cost. If a collection is not executed, for example the driver did not arrive or the goods were not ready, you can rebook it in Sendify under Shipments > Alternative > Reschedule collection, or contact Sendify support so it can be raised with DSV.
