DPD now also delivers (inter)national parcels via letterbox

Parcel Delivery company expands its services with ParcelLetter service

Best, 7 May 2018 - Parcel service provider DPD introduces ParcelLetter, a new service that delivers parcels, letters and other items via the letter box. And unlike other DPD delivery services, a signature is not required. Parcels can still be fully tracked through track&trace and the DPD Predict service is included as standard. The new service is aimed at parcels for which the delivery driver does not necessarily have to ring the recipient's doorbell.

With ParcelLetter, DPD is initially focussing on the SME and consumer markets. The service is an extension of its parcel delivery range and is tapping into a market segment that is not being served as of yet. ParcelLetter is currently only offered in the Netherlands as a pilot via the online shipping platform www.pakkettenversturen.nl. In the near future, DPD will also offer the service for shipments to other European countries, enabling consumers and businesses to internationally send parcels, catalogues, samples and letters via DPD Netherlands.

"With our new ParcelLetter service we want to further expand our service delivery. As a result of the enormous e-commerce growth, the need for letterbox delivery of small parcels at a favourable price is increasing and with ParcelLetter we are able to respond to this market demand.”

Eric Dietz, CEO DPD Netherlands
