AlzaBox - what to do in case of failed insertion


  • If AlzaBox did not accept the shipment due to an invalid code:
  1. check that the lowest barcode was scanned (see infographic), or cover the remaining barcodes when rescanning
  2. check if it is a DHL Return Connect shipment - please submit such a shipment via PPL
  3. check if this is a Medical Express shipment - code mark CMX / WMX - you will need to book a courier pick-up for these shipments
  • If the deposit was unsuccessful due to a small box being opened, you need to repeat the deposit process and select a larger available box (the box will automatically offer you this option)
  • If your AlzaBox does not offer you a large enough box or is occupied, you can use one of the nearest AlzaBoxes, DHL ServicePoints, DHL Lockers, search for them on the map or on DHL Locator.
