How is GOFO Mailbox Parcel pricing determined?
The standard rate of €2.99 per parcel applies to eligible domestic Mailbox shipments within the Netherlands for customers shipping 5,000–9,999 parcels per year.
Customers shipping 10,000 or more Mailbox parcels per year can request customized volume pricing. Prices exclude VAT, pickup, energy surcharges, peak surcharges and other applicable fees.
What booking information is required?
Businesses must create the shipment using the designated Mailbox product code and send the shipment data to GOFO before handover.
The information printed on the parcel label must match the pre-advised shipment data. Incorrect or inconsistent shipment information may affect processing and routing.
How does GOFO confirm whether a parcel is eligible for mailbox parcel delivery?
GOFO’s sorting system measures the parcel before routing it into the mailbox parcel delivery flow.
To qualify, the parcel must not exceed 38 × 26.5 × 3.2 cm or 2 kg. Eligibility is determined based on GOFO’s final sorting measurements, rather than the dimensions declared when the shipment is created.
Is pickup included with GOFO Mailbox Parcel?
Pickup is not included unless separately agreed.
Pickup is available for customers with a daily volume of 100+ shipments (home delivery + mailbox combined). Below this threshold, customers can drop off at GOFO warehouses.
Where can I find the Warehouse Cut-off & Delivery Service Schedule?
Please contact our sales team to obtain the latest version of the GOFO NL & Cross-Border Service Schedule.
What happens if a parcel exceeds the Mailbox size or weight limits?
All parcels are measured and weighed during warehouse sorting. If a parcel exceeds the maximum dimensions of 38 × 26.5 × 3.2 cm or the maximum weight of 2 kg, it will be routed to the Standard Parcel delivery flow and charged according to the applicable Standard Parcel rate and service conditions.
Which shipments are not suitable for GOFO Mailbox Parcel?
GOFO Mailbox Parcel is designed for lightweight, regularly shaped parcels that meet the applicable Mailbox dimensions and weight limits.
The following shipments are not suitable:
- Parcels exceeding 38 × 26.5 × 3.2 cm
