Cancellation
If a shipment does not have to be sent you can cancel it the same day before 23:59 free of charge. This can be done up to 42 days after the creation date, after this the cancellation is unfortunately no longer possible. This is only possible for shipments that have not received a scan from the carrier.
If this does not happen, the full costs for the shipment will be charged. Canceling the labels is separate from the already scheduled pick-up, if you do not have any packages to give, make sure you pass this on time.
Expiration labels
Labels from Red je Pakketje automatically expire after 2 business days. Those 2 days start at the moment that you create your label. As of 01-02-2021 Red je Pakketje will start charging for those 'expired labels'. It will not be possible to get a refund after those 2 days have passed.
Red je pakketje is doing this to prevent unnecessary (over)load in their system. They currently have a lot of what they call "ghost labels" in their system. Less "ghost labels" would mean that the labels that are actually being used can be processed more efficiently.
Like every carrier, Red je Pakketje has prepared a document about their General Transport Conditions. If you deviate from the conditions, a surcharge will be charged on your invoice afterwards. When you send with Red je Pakketje , you automatically agree to the following conditions:
