What is the maximum size and weight for a parcel in Denmark?

Size and weight limits for domestic parcels.

Answered at: Checked at:

Short answer

In 2026 a PostNord parcel within Denmark may weigh at most 20 kg. It may be at most 150 cm long, and the length plus the girth may not exceed 300 cm. The smallest parcel allowed is 1.5 x 15 x 10 cm and 150 g. A parcel that is 120–150 cm long costs a volume surcharge of 95 kr., and a parcel over the limits is sent back without a refund of the postage.

Practical info

Why

  1. The weight limit is 20 kg.
  2. Length plus girth may be at most 300 cm.
  3. Long parcels cost a 95 kr. surcharge.

Details

The girth is the distance once around the parcel at its thickest point.

Tip

Measure and weigh before you buy postage, because an oversized parcel is returned and the postage is lost.

What may differ

Other carriers have their own limits, and the rules for parcels abroad depend on the country.

Common misconception

Any box can go as a parcel as long as it is under 20 kg.

What actually happens

Length and girth also count: over 150 cm long or 300 cm length plus girth, the parcel is returned.
