Complete overview, peace of mind, and fewer calls to customer service
When you send your letters as letter parcels, you get all the advantages of parcel delivery: next‑day delivery, full visibility and proof of delivery. You can ship to business and residential addresses as well as to our 1,800+ ParcelShops. Each letter parcel can be tracked from start to finish - so you never have to send anything blindly.
It costs a little more, and the envelope needs to be replaced with a cardboard box. But in return, you save time and money on reshipments, follow‑ups, explanations - and the apologies that often come when something doesn’t arrive on time.

It’s easy to convert your letter shipments into parcel letters. Together, we’ll find the solution that fits your business best.
No matter which setup you choose, you stay in control of your shipments — every time you send what matters most to your business.
