Do you need to sign PostNL packages?

Except for a few parcels containing confidential items, the receiver does not need to sign a PostNL parcel. Notably, PostNL does not judge the confidentiality of a parcel.

Do PostNL delivery executives leave parcels at the doorstep?

The packages are handled according to their nature. For example, PostNL delivers frozen food and other food items. The delivery executive does not leave such a package at your doorstep. Instead, he will reach your location and ring the doorbell. The delivery executive will come back with the parcel if you are non-responsive at your home’s doorstep.

Letters are usually dropped at the letterboxes, while other packages are left at the doorstep. Sometimes, the delivery executives also leave your package with your neighbor if you are not present at home. The executive will leave a note about your parcel’s location in such cases.

What should you do if you do not receive the PostNL package?

There is nothing to worry about if you have not received the PostNL package, as the company is committed to rendering hassle-free delivery service. However, you have not received a package for the following two reasons.

  • You were not present at your residence, and the delivery executive did not leave the package at your doorstep, judging its confidentiality.
  • The delivery executive may have failed to reach your location for various technical and non-technical reasons.

If PostNL fails to deliver a package on a particular day, it will attempt another delivery the next day.

Recipients or senders should call PostNL’s customer support department if the package is not received even after two days of the scheduled delivery.

How long does PostNL hold a package?

Typically, PostNL holds a parcel for seven days after unsuccessful delivery attempts. However, some packages contain products with short expiry periods.

Instead, the products are returned to the sender in the case of failed delivery attempts.

Will you get compensation for the lost items?

PostNL is committed to resolving delivery disputes quickly to ensure seamless customer satisfaction. The receiver should complain to the sender if they get a damaged package. The sender can ask for compensation in such cases. However, the matter will be thoroughly investigated before providing compensation. Damage to the items is unlikely because PostNL takes utmost care of the packages during transit.

If the PostNL delivery executive loses a parcel, both the sender and receiver can complain and raise a dispute. PostNL offers compensation in such cases at the earliest.

Why is my PostNL package untraceable?

The sender can further call PostNL’s customer support to receive the correct tracking number. However, PostNL does not make such mistakes too often.
