The DPD locations page on ParcelPath gives you the carrier’s official locator link, the location-type breakdown (full-service, retail partner, locker, drop box), the search methods that work for the network, and the hours pattern so you can plan a drop-off without driving to a closed point. ParcelPath does not republish the DPD locator data here on the carrier hub because DPD’s own locator is the authoritative source and updates as points open, close, or change hours.
This DPD locations page gives you the official locator link plus the context you need to plan a drop-off. Use the DPD locations breakdown below to understand full-service points, lockers, and drop boxes before you drive out.
Where to search for a DPD location
Use DPD’s own locator at https://www.dpd.com/ for the live, address-level search. Enter a ZIP code, postcode, or street address and the locator returns the closest points sorted by proximity with hours and accepted services. The DPD locator is the only authoritative source for whether a specific point accepts a specific service tier on a specific day — point-level details change frequently and ParcelPath does not mirror that data here.
DPD Locations: The Different Location Types
DPD supports several distinct location types, and the right one for a given parcel depends on whether you need full-service counter help, a quick drop-off, or a 24/7 access point:
- DPD Parcel Shop (consumer drop-off at retail partners)
- DPD Pickup Point
- DPD Depot (B2B + bulk consolidation)
DPD Locations and Network Coverage
over 50,000 DPD Parcel Shops and Pickup Points across the European Union and United Kingdom — densest in the UK, Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, France; limited US presence (most US parcels move via DPD’s consolidator partners). The locator’s address-level search is the only reliable way to confirm what’s near a specific origin or destination — the coverage above is the network-level shape, not a guarantee that any given ZIP has every location type within walking distance.
How to search effectively
The locator accepts postcode, city, or address on the destination-country DPD portal; for inbound US-to-EU parcels, the recipient’s local DPD portal does the lookup since the drop-off is on the destination side. For an outbound parcel, search by your origin ZIP or address; for an inbound parcel that you want to redirect to a pickup point, search by the destination ZIP. If the closest point doesn’t accept the service tier you booked through ParcelPath (Express drop-off vs Ground drop-off, for example), the locator’s service-type filter will surface the next-closest qualifying point.
DPD hours pattern
Hours DPD Parcel Shops run on host retailer hours (typically 8am to 8pm Monday through Friday in major retailers, with Saturday and Sunday hours varying); DPD Depots are B2B-focused with weekday business hours; DPD Predict’s one-hour delivery window is the consumer-facing equivalent of a fixed pickup time. Always check the locator for the exact hours of the specific point you plan to visit — partner-retailer hours change with the retailer’s own schedule and the locator data reflects those changes more reliably than carrier-published averages.
DPD-specific lingo to know
**Parcel Shop** is the consumer drop-off / pickup point; **Pickup Point** is the same concept on inbound delivery. **Depot** is B2B / bulk — typically not accessible for one-off consumer drop-offs. DPD also runs **lockers** in some markets (Pickup Locker, Pickup Station) for 24/7 access.

If you have not booked the parcel yet, the DPD isn’t bookable through ParcelPath — ParcelPath’s calculator and label creation cover USPS and UPS only. If your shipment can go via one of those instead, DPD shipping calculator returns a live discounted rate in seconds.
