Gifts, health products or erotic items: Some purchases call for particular discretion. DHL's "Named Person Only" service is an easy and cost-effective way to make sure your parcels are only released to the recipient in person or to a "specifically"1 authorized person.
Benefits of Named Person Only
- Discreet shipping
- Recipient identified with an ID document
- Someone else can be authorized

1 This requires a "specific" authorization to be issued, i.e. a letter with the following information: "Person XY is authorized to receive the item with the number 123 on my behalf" (the notification card meets this requirement). A general authorization such as "Person XY is authorized to represent me in postal matters." is not sufficient.
2 You must already have checked the age of the purchaser - and of the recipient if they are different - before you send the item.
3 Authorization can be given to anyone above the specified minimum age.
