Revenue model

1. Parcel Transport and Delivery Services: DPD France charges professional clients per parcel shipment based on weight, dimensions, destination zone, and selected service level (standard, express, Predict home delivery, Relais, etc.). Revenue is driven by transaction volume per client contract. Fuel surcharges are applied on top of base transport rates.
2. Value-Added Delivery Options: Additional fees are charged for optional services including Predict scheduled delivery, DPD Secure (code-verified delivery), DPD Bouteilles (specific packaging), temperature-sensitive medical delivery (DPD Médical), and DPD Secure. These are priced as add-ons to the base transport fee.
3. DPD Chéquier (Pre-paid Shipment Vouchers): Pre-paid envelope/chéquier solution for occasional shippers, sold in bundles, providing one-time use credits for parcel shipments.
