Service provision

We will send you an SMS or email message with information such as the expected date of delivery of the parcel; COD amount; depositing of the parcel. To do so, we need to know your contact details, i.e. your mobile phone number and/or email address.

Therefore, we would like to ask you to provide online shop operators or mail order companies with your mobile phone number and/or email address when you buy their products online. They will transfer these details to us together with your parcel so that we can easily contact you and deliver your parcel as soon as possible.

Alternatively, if you send a parcel, just fill in the addressee’s contact details in the posting form, ask for the Alerts service, and leave the rest to us.

Alerts for addressees

If you are the addressee of a parcel, you will be notified about your parcel free of any charge.

  • Expected date of delivery of your parcel;
  • COD amount payable against delivery of your parcel;
  • That your parcel has been deposited at the post office;
  • That your parcel has been deposited because you were not at the given address at the time of delivery attempt;
