Last-minute shipment? No problem. Quickly arrange an extra late pickup by courier to prevent delays and disappointment for your customers.
Wuunder can schedule your (daily) pickups in several flexible ways. So your parcels are always on the move, right on time. 

Shipping with PostNL within the Netherlands

Wuunder offers full contract integration with PostNL in the Netherlands and Belgium. We can automatically book your shipments, and arrange either ad-hoc pickup runs or regular pickups with PostNL’s Collection service or another courier, as needed.

Give your customers maximum freedom of choice

PostNL notifies the recipient by email about the upcoming delivery of the parcel. Via the link in the email, the recipient can choose both a specific PostNL parcel shop and a time slot themselves.

Ship without unnecessary surcharges

Avoid unnecessary costs in your business and keep in mind the maximum validity period of three business days for your shipping labels when processing your orders.

Build confidence in successful delivery

With PostNL, you can add supplementary insurance against loss or damage, and opt for delivery exclusively to a specific home address for added security. Keep in mind the 3-business-day label validity to avoid surcharges. Always include full contact details on each parcel so the driver can reach the recipient if needed.

Check possible issues with PostNL
