Is Deutsche Post International the same as DHL Express?

No, and the difference matters. This is Deutsche Post's cross-border mail and lightweight-goods line, inside DHL Group's Post & Parcel Germany division. It is not DHL Express, which is time-definite air express, and not DHL eCommerce, a separate parcel network.

Where can I ship, and what is the weight limit?

Through OrderKrab: Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Germany, Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Hungary, the United Kingdom and the United States. Goods travel in letter format up to 2 kg. Note that Deutsche Post suspended goods shipments to the US on 22 August 2025 and resumed them on 25 September 2025, duty-paid only.

Can I print a manifest?

Yes, and this is the only carrier in OrderKrab where you can. Deutsche Post International groups items into an order rather than booking each shipment separately, and the manifest is the handover document for Deutsche Post. COD and pickup-point delivery are not part of this route.
