Express
Send you mail fast and inexpensive with Express
With Express, your international mail (letters, direct mail, cards and parcels) is given priority. Your item usually takes just 2 days to reach its destination. This makes Express faster than any other international postal service. In fact, Express is almost as fast as a courier service, but it is much less expensive. And the recipient does not need to stay home for it either.
Express can be used to send mail to a large number of countries in Europe. For destinations not served by Express, you can use Express, both within and outside Europe.
Track & Trace
Track & Trace allows you to follow your Express item on the Internet. In this way, you always know exactly where your item is and when it has been delivered. Express items can be followed as far as the Dutch border.
How does Express work?
Express stickers
You can prepare Express items for delivery yourself, by affixing a Express sticker in the upper left-hand corner. Express stickers (P2340) are available free of charge. You can frank your mail using stamps, EasyStamp or a franking machine, and take your item along to the post office or one of the Business Points or business counters.
What does Express cost?
From € 9,55
Within Europe, you can send Express items from € 9,55 and outside Europe from € 12,55.
