The problem

Why does a PostNL only desk take more time?

A PostNL only desk takes more time because each order is opened, labelled and tracked by hand, and because format, pickup and evening choices are guessed. Those contract details are reviewed on a demo, not published here as limits.

Every order still passes through a person

Open the order, copy the address, pick a PostNL service, download the label, paste the tracking number back. The same steps repeat for DHL or DPD when those orders live in another tab.

Format is a contract question

PostNL prices by the service the parcel fits. Whether a letterbox parcel rule fits your contract is reviewed on a demo. This page does not publish weight or size limits.

Checkout can promise more than the label

Pickup points and evening delivery depend on the PostNL contract and the shop platform. Which of those options you can offer is reviewed on a demo for your setup.

Where you are today

  • Import orders from the shops you already sell on
  • Write a rule for the Netherlands and Belgium, and another carrier where PostNL is not the fit
