The freight handler received the Notification of Arrival of the shipment
Netherlands Post tracking parcelWhat this status means
Your parcel is travelling in a bulk air shipment with other items. The freight handler, the company that deals with cargo at the airport, has been told that the shipment has arrived or is about to arrive. The parcel is at or near the airport, not yet with a local delivery driver. This is a routine step in PostNL's international handling.
Is my package delayed?
No. This message by itself is normal and is not an exception. It usually comes right after the item was marked ready for shipment. A delay is only likely if the tracking stays on this line for longer than the previous steps took.
What happens next
Most often, in about nine out of ten cases, the next update says the freight handler collected the shipment at the airport. After that, the shipment is handed over for final acceptance and moves on towards the last-mile carrier, which delivers it to your address. Some updates may be skipped or appear in a different order.
What you can do
- Wait and keep checking. Nothing is needed from you at this stage.
- If the status does not change for longer than the earlier steps took, contact PostNL or the seller.
- Have your tracking number and order details ready when you ask.
- Watch for customs messages, as international parcels may be subject to duties or taxes.
