Purpose: In this article you will find an overview of the options per carrier.
The options for a fixed collection depend on your shipping volume per month. It is possible to have your packages collected for free when you ship a minimum of 100 shipments per month. Each carrier has different conditions and guidelines with regard to the collection of packages.
Pick-up possibilities DHL
DHL can collect you packages on a daily basis (or on fixed days) at your desired time. However, you must have at least five packages ready per collection and you need to have a shipping volume of approximately 100 shipments per month.
The processing of your collection takes approximately 5 working days.
In addition to the fixed pick-up with DHL, it is possible to plan an incidental collection as well. An incidental pick-up is possible from 5 packages or a pallet.
Pick-up possibilities DPD
DPD has a number of conditions as well before we can arrange a fixed pick-up for you.
If you have a monthly volume between 100-300 shipments, DPD can plan your pick-up on route. This means that DPD comes along during working days (between 9 AM and 5 PM) to collect the shipments which you have prepared.
If your volume is larger than 300 shipments per month, we can request a time window for you.
Take into account a processing time of 5 working days to start the pick-up completely!
Pick-up possibilities PostNL
It is possible to have your PostNL shipments picked up as well, but this is only an option from 500 shipments per month. The costs of this collection depend on where your pick-up address is located.
We will then look for an appropriate rate together with the courier.
Take into account a processing time of 5 to 10 working days to start the pick-up completely!
Pick-up possibilities UPS
Only with UPS it is possible to have one shipment picked up at your address or the address of your customer.
A pick-up for the next day with UPS costs 3.25 euros. If you schedule the collection for the day itself (this is only possible in combination with the UPS Express Saver shipping method), the costs may be higher. This depends on the route they have to take.
In addition to the incidental collection, it is also possible to have UPS collect your packages on a daily basis. The costs for this are 10 euros per week.
Pick-up possibilities Bpost
You have the option to arrange a pick-up with the carrier Bpost directly with them. More information about requesting a fixed collection at Bpost can be found here.
