Hah. I'm currently investigating switching to another company for shipping. (For all shipping purposes for the company that I work for.) Anyway, I was just reading the DHL Terms of Service, and found this.
Prohibited Items. In addition to the restrictions and prohibitions set out in paragraph 8, DHL imposes the following additional restrictions on shipments:
(a) Domestic Destinations: Items which DHL will not accept for shipment within or to Canada include, without limitation, the following:
Shipments containing in excess of 30% glass content
Live animals, insects, plants or fish
Toxic gases (Class 2.3)
Human remains
Drugs prohibited by law
Jewellery or original artwork
Explosives, except Class 1.4S or exempted items
Seafood, meat, poultry or fish
Water Reactive substances (Class 4.3) Packing Group 1
Cash, bonds, stocks or other negotiable instruments
Radioactives (Class 7), other than exempted items
Tobacco (in excess of 50 cartons and/or in excess of 10 kg, unless under contract to dealer)
Items restricted by IATA or ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization)
Items which DHL determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot transport safely or legally.
I wonder how often people have tried to ship human remains?
