New weight limits for Lithuania shipments Effective 1st April 2026

Starting from 1 April 2026, changes will take effect regarding the maximum weight limits for courier and parcel locker shipments in Lithuania - the new maximum permitted weight for courier parcels is 25 kg and for parcel locker parcels 20 kg. Consequently, the conditions for providing the two-man delivery service will also change.

We would like to emphasise that the described changes apply only to shipments to and from Lithuania.

These amendments arise from Lithuanian occupational safety requirements and recommendations issued by the national labour inspectorate, which are based on European Union directives concerning manually handled loads. These requirements apply to all companies operating in Lithuania, and all courier service providers, including DPD, must bring their service conditions into compliance with the applicable legislation.

The most important changes:

During delivery and collection, for parcels exceeding the 25 kg limit, the recipient is responsible for unloading/loading the goods.
If the recipient does not wish to do this, a two‑man delivery service must be ordered for the shipment, or the goods should be packed into multiple parcels, each not exceeding 25 kg.

We kindly ask you to take a moment to review these changes and ensure to inform the recipient in advance that the parcel will need to be loaded/unloaded from/to the vehicle without courier assistance.

Pricing for the two-man delivery service: the detailed pricing for the two-man delivery service for shipments to Lithuania will be published on Carrier's website no later than 1st of April.
