Return Drop Off

PostNord Return Drop Off is an easy and convenient way for your customers to return a parcel to you by simply dropping it off at a nearest post office or a PostNord locker.

The requirement for using Shop Return is that your return address is a business address.

It's important that your shipment complies with the maximum dimensions and weight for PostNord Return Drop Off, which is the same as for PostNord MyPack Collect.

Common info about PostNord package dimensions

Min. dimensions for a package sent via PostNord are 1,5 x 9 x 14 cm.

An oversize fee might be charged if your shipment doesn't comply with the above measurements. In this case you risk the shipment to be handled as a part- or a full load or even a pallet, regardless of whether it's a domestic or an international shipment. You will therefore be charged the price difference up to PostNord 'applicable rates for this.

Note! PostNord parcels that weigh above 20 kg, may not be dropped off at a regular post office/parcel shop. They must be handed in at a PostNord business dropped off point.

Expected delivery time

Expected delivery time within Denmark is 1-2 working days.

Packaging requirements and conveyable shipments

There's a number of requirements you must comply with to ensure that your packaging is suited for parcel distribution with PostNord Denmark.

It's your responsibility as a sender to provide adequate and secure packaging, which will ensure that your shipment is eligible for compensation in case any damage is caused during shipping.

In addition, it is important that your shipment is system compliant, meaning suitable for machine sorting and can be stacked in PostNord vans during transport.

Read more about PostNord's instructions for safe and system compliant packaging in this guide for secure packaging.

Additional services and surcharges

When you book shipments with PostNord, there are a number of additional service fees that may be imposed on your shipment. That is, for example, if your shipment does not meet the carrier's requirements or requires special handling by the carrier for other reasons.

Therefore it is important that you read and familiarize yourself with the different additional services.
