Sometimes DHL refer to their services by their 3-letter service code. They use different 3-letter codes for the same service depending on the location, which can be confusing at times.
In Scurri, we only show one service and we decide which code should apply for your package in the background. The below guide serves to explain these codes and what each of them mean.
