As long as it works, so many new types of delivery and other innovations appear, for example. In this case, we will not talk about a new, but recently very popular method of delivery and tracking of PostNL parcels. From the name, it is indirectly clear that we are talking about the post of the Netherlands. Today, no one is surprised by the delivery from China in transit through the Netherlands, Sweden or Finland. Particularly popular this way acquired because of the devices containing them, since it is not uncommon for parcels sent by other postal services to be opened, and finding batteries there, they were returned to the sender.

A similar problem was observed not so long ago with many parcels going. Even earlier, about a year ago, I sent parcels with batteries back, recently everything seems to have stabilized, but sellers do not take risks and, out of habit, such goods are sent in transit through the Netherlands (PostNL). Even in this moment, sends parcels with batteries mainly through PostNL and does it absolutely free.

PostNL tracking is available at all stages of moving a parcel from to you, we will try to figure out in detail how to properly track a parcel in transit through the Netherlands.

As a rule, after payment, a few days later, the seller or store, depending on the place where the purchase was made, will give you a track code. Looking ahead a little, let’s say right away that you don’t need to try to track it on the same day, and without receiving any information, raise a panic and ask for help on all kinds of parcel tracking sites.

The issuance of a track code does not indicate the actual shipment of the goods. In most cases, the actual shipment of the goods occurs within 7 working days from the date of issue of the track code.

If after 7 days no status has appeared when tracking the PostNL parcel, then clarify for what reason it delays sending the goods. In most cases, delays in the delivery of PostNL parcels are related to the actions of the seller, and not the postal service itself.

PostNL track codes refer to the UPU (International Postal Union) format, respectively, are tracked both in the country of the sender and in the country of the recipient, up to the moment of delivery. For example, consider the track code of a typical parcel sent in transit through the Netherlands:

  • RS587711291NL

As usual, there are two letters at the beginning of the UPU track code, in this case “ RS" (there may be others), followed by a nine-digit number ensuring the uniqueness of the track code and at the very end two letters " NL”, indicating that the track code belongs to the postal service of the Netherlands (PostNL).

Of course, you can track a PostNL parcel after it arrives in the country of destination, on the official website of the postal service of the country where the parcel arrived, in the case of Russia, on the website of the Russian Post.

However, it is easier to track PostNL packages, which simultaneously check the movement of your package, both in the country of the sender and in the country of the recipient. As an example, the result of such tracking.

As you can see, this parcel was successfully imported to Russia from the Netherlands on the 13th and began to be perfectly tracked on the Russian post website, as we are told by the information received from the mail tracker.

Let's explain a little about the status of PostNL parcels moving in the Netherlands:

  • The item has been processed in the country of destination ( The parcel has been processed sorting center destination countries)
  • The item has arrived in the country of destination ( Parcel arrived in destination country)
  • The item is on transport to the country of destination ( Parcel on the way to destination country)
  • The item is at the PostNL sorting center ( The parcel arrived at the PostNL sorting center)
  • The item is ready for shipment (package is ready to ship))
  • The item is pre-advised ( Parcel is ready for dispatch)

After the parcel has arrived at the sorting center of the country of destination, it can be tracked on the official website of the postal service of the country of destination. As a rule, at first these will be statuses about the passage customs clearance, after which, the status of the parcel moving on the way to you.

Once the package has arrived at your local post office, you will mailbox they will have to deliver a notice, by filling out which, you can go to receive your parcel.

Try to track the PostNL package yourself using the track code, not all post offices work well. Notification, they can simply forget to send it. As a result, the parcel languishes for some time at your local post office, and then it will be sent back to the sender.

As soon as you see that the parcel has reached your local post office, wait a few days, if the notification does not arrive, then, with an identity document and a track code, go to the post office yourself and receive your parcel. Since PostNL home delivery of parcels is not provided, perhaps a very small envelope can be immediately thrown directly into the mailbox without notice.

For Western Russia, Belarus and Ukraine, PostNL's average delivery time is about 20 days. From our practice, the fastest delivery was 9 days, the longest about 30, but the vast majority of PostNL parcels arrive somewhere around 20 days from the moment the goods were actually shipped, from or .

The Netherlands Post (NL Post, PostNL) is a better shipping method than China Post and also allows you to send packages with batteries without any problems. Also, the Dutch Post is not overloaded with shipments, which allows you to receive the parcel in a faster time.

This method has gained particular popularity due to the absence of problems with the delivery of batteries and devices containing them.

The GearBest store sends packages with batteries mainly through PostNL and does it without any extra charges.

PostNL operates in the Netherlands. There are several parcel collection points in China. The seller does not take the package to PostNL himself, but the courier picks it up. After that, all parcels are sent to the parcel collection center, and then loaded onto the plane to be sent to the sorting center in the Netherlands.

If in the block "Pay Attention!" it is written that the track code is not tracked in the country of destination, in this case tracking parcels becomes impossible after the parcel is sent to the country of destination / after arriving at the Moscow Distribution Center / Item Arrived at Pulkovo / Arrived at Pulkovo / Left Luxembourg / Left Helsinki / Sending to the Russian Federation or after a long pause of 1 - 2 weeks, it is impossible to track the location of the parcel. No, and nowhere. Not at all =)
In this case, you need to wait for a notification from your post office.

To calculate delivery times in Russia (for example, after export, from Moscow to your city), use the "Delivery deadlines calculator"

If the seller promised that the parcel would arrive in two weeks, and the parcel travels for more than two weeks, this is normal, the sellers are interested in sales, and therefore they are misleading.

If less than 7 - 14 days have passed since the receipt of the track code, and the package is not tracked, or the seller claims that he sent the package, and the status of the package "the item pre-advised" / "Email notification received" does not change for several days, this is normal, You can read more by clicking on the link:.

If the status of the mail item does not change for 7 - 20 days, do not worry, this is normal for international mail.

If your previous orders arrived in 2-3 weeks, and the new package takes more than a month, this is normal, because. parcels go by different routes, different ways, can wait for sending by plane 1 day, or maybe a week.

If the parcel left the sorting center, customs, intermediate point and there are no new statuses within 7 - 20 days, do not worry, the parcel is not a courier who carries a parcel from one city to your home. In order for a new status to appear, the parcel must arrive, unload, be scanned, etc. at the next sorting point or post office, and this takes much more time than just getting from one city to another.

If you do not understand the meaning of such statuses as Acceptance / Export / Import / Arrived at the place of delivery, etc., you can see the transcript of the main statuses of international mail:

If the parcel is not delivered to your post office 5 days before the end of the protection period, you have the right to open a dispute.
