About PostNL
PostNL is one of the premier courier service providers in the Netherlands that provides mail and parcel services for domestic and international orders. The company uses a network of national postal services and private carriers to transport shipments seamlessly. It is associated with the European Union to provide seamless international shipments within the US.
The company was initially incorporated as TNT NV in 1997 to phase the monopoly of the national postal service in the Netherlands. In 2011, when the TNT express organization was separated from the TNT company, the remainder of the company was named PostNL. Apart from the Netherlands, the company operates in Belgium, German, Italy, Luxembourg, and United Kingdom. The company delivers five days a week from Tuesday to Saturday to maximize its operational efficiency. Since Mondays have a typically low order volume for delivery, the company curtailed its delivery services on Monday from 2013.
