What are the maximum allowed dimensions for a parcel with a destination in the Netherlands?

That varies depending on the carrier and type of delivery (consumer or business, for example). We've outlined them for you per carrier:

PostNL 
You can send a package with a maximum size of 100 x 70 x 58cm and a maximum weight of 23 kg to countries within the European Union. For an XL surcharge of €4.95, the package may have dimensions of 175 x 78 x 58 cm and a weight between 23 and 30 kg. This option is called 'Large package,' and you can select it under 'Shipping options' when creating a new shipment.

DHL
The maximum dimensions you can send via DHL vary per network:

DHL for you: 120 x 60 x 60 cm
