Priority mail Send your letter extra fast within the Netherlands

How to send priority mail?

1. 1

   Check the terms and conditions for priority mail

   Make sure your letter meets the requirements for priority mail:  

   • Minimum size: 14 x 9 cm 
   • Maximum size: 38 x 26,5 x 3,2 cm 
   • Maximum weight: 2 kg  

   Is your letter too big or heavy for the letterbox? Then choose the priority parcel service. 

2. 2

   Drop off your letter before 5 p.m. at the PostNL point

   No need to put stamps on priority mail, because you cannot send it through the orange letterbox. You can only send priority mail via a PostNL point. Are you dropping off your letter before 5 p.m.? We will deliver it on the following business day. 

   Please note: we cannot deliver priority mail to PO Box numbers, business reply services and poste restante. 

3. 3

   Track your letter with track & trace

   You will receive a shipping receipt with a code. With this, you track the letter en route via track & trace.
4. 4

   We will deliver your letter on the next business day

   Choose from delivery before 10 a.m. or before noon. The recipient signs for delivery. You can find the signature via track & trace, under the tab 'Delivered'. This confirms that your letter has arrived.
