Surcharges. |
|
| Volume surcharge | PostNL charges a volume surcharge for parcels within the EU. We choose not to pass on the volume surcharge for packages within the EU for now, to give you the opportunity to adjust your packaging. |
| Energy surcharge |
Due to the high energy and fuel prices, PostNL charges an energy surcharge of € 0.12 per package.
|
| Manual processing surcharge | If products are not packaged correctly or not securely, they can disrupt the logistics process of the carrier. For this you pay a surcharge of €10,- per package. |
| Peak surcharge | A surcharge of € 0.25 per package only applies during the end of the year period. |
