What this status means
PostNL has dropped your parcel off at a pickup point, usually a shop or service point near your address. It is on the shelf or behind the counter and ready for you to collect. This is the last stage of the journey, after the parcel has passed through the sorting centres.
Is my package delayed?
No. This message is normal and means the parcel has reached its destination. Nothing is wrong with it. Problems are rare from here: only a small share of parcels move on to a "held, addressee being notified" message or go back to a sorting centre.
What happens next
Most often, in about three quarters of cases, the next message is "The item has been delivered successfully". That appears once the pickup point has scanned the parcel as handed over to you. A smaller number show "The item is collected at the pick-up point" instead, which means the same thing.
What you can do
- Collect the parcel at the pickup point and take photo ID and your tracking number or notification.
- Check the pickup point's opening hours, and collect before any pickup deadline shown in your notification.
- If someone else collects it for you, check that they have what the pickup point requires.
- If the parcel cannot be found at the shop, contact PostNL, or the seller if you ordered from a webshop, with your tracking number and order details.
