About PostNL International

 

PostNL, a branch that was separated by TNT NV, a logistics giant in the European market. The company is known for its International mail and parcel services. This international network is supported by a domestic network spanning over 12 countries for efficient last-mile deliveries of your parcel. 

The PostNL organization was separated from the TNT NV in May 2011. This organization was separated into TNT Express and PostNL to ensure better focus on the mail and parcel delivery services. The carrier has a strong presence in the Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Germany, and the United Kingdom. The carrier has its headquarters in Hauge, Netherlands.

With PostNL’s services, you can send over 100 pieces of mail together through their international bulk mail delivery services. The international parcel service also comes in three options - Track and Trace Only, Track and Trace Insured, and Track and Trace Insured Plus. The insurance coverage for the first one is upto 50 euros. The insured plus service allows you to cover your damages upto 500 euros. 

The PostNL platform allows you to send parcels outside the European Union. You can get assistance with the paperwork, customs clearance, and last-mile deliveries for these international deliveries. However, the parcel weight limit for outside the EU is about 20 Kg, while you can send up to 31.5 kg within the European Union. 

In order to position itself as a global eCommerce delivery solution, the PostNL platform offers free international returns. You can even ask for delivery confirmation and proof with the premium delivery services. The Mijn PostNL account also allows you to create shipping labels and track the parcels in one place.

The PostNL has a separate international shipping API to allow for automated and easier shipping for ecommerce businesses. ClickPost has a courier API integration with PostNL International to enable a global shipping network for your ecommerce business.
