DPD introduces international letterbox deliveries due to national success

Parcel delivery company DPD is expanding its international services with letterbox deliveries. The ParcelLetter new service is aimed at international parcels for which the delivery driver does not necessarily have to ring the recipient’s doorbell. DPD previously introduced ParcelLetter letterbox deliveries in the Netherlands. Due to the great success of the service nationally, it has decided to expand the service to include international deliveries.

DPD now offers ParcelLetter deliveries to 25 countries in Europe via the shipping platform www.pakkettenversturen.nl. This makes it possible for consumers and businesses to send parcels, catalogues, samples and letters internationally via DPD Netherlands. Unlike DPD’s other delivery services, no signature is required for this service. But just like national deliveries, the international ones can still be fully tracked via track & trace and the DPD Predict service is included as standard.

“We have translated a specific market demand into our new ParcelLetter service. Our Dutch customers make extensive use of it; it is a resounding success. Such a success that we have expanded the service to include international deliveries. It is now even cheaper to have small parcels delivered through recipients’ letterboxes while still benefitting from the advantages of track & trace and Predict”
