How do I start shipping with PostNL through Sendcloud?
Find PostNL in Sendcloud, enable the carrier, and add your contract credentials in the My contracts tab. The required keys for domestic, EU, and international (Globalpack) services all live in your PostNL business portal.
For step-by-step instructions, see Sendcloud's Help Center article on PostNL setup.
What does Sendcloud add to my PostNL shipping?
Sendcloud connects your PostNL contract once and routes Benelux orders through home, service-point, or mailbox delivery automatically. Generate labels in batch, surface PostNL pickup points at checkout, and pull QR-code returns back as separate tracking events so customers don't need to print anything. Pair PostNL with international carriers from your other 170+ Sendcloud-connected options when shipping beyond the Benelux.
Can I use my own PostNL contract instead of Sendcloud's rates?
You have two options:
Sendcloud's pre-negotiated rates: Start shipping right away with no separate PostNL account needed. Available on the Free plan and above.
Your own PostNL contract: Upload your existing PostNL account credentials to ship at your negotiated rates. Available on Sendcloud's Lite, Growth, and Premium plans. See Sendcloud plans and pricing.
How much does it cost to ship with PostNL?
PostNL shipping rates depend on the service you pick, parcel weight and dimensions, the destination zone, and whether you use Sendcloud's discounted PostNL rates or upload your own PostNL contract.
See live PostNL shipping rates in your Sendcloud account to compare costs per service before you ship, or set rules to route shipments by weight, value, or destination. Sendcloud's discounted rates start on the Free plan; the Lite plan adds your own contract on top. See Sendcloud plans and pricing for the full breakdown.
Where does PostNL deliver?
PostNL delivers across Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg + international destinations. For non-EU shipments, Sendcloud generates customs documents from your order data automatically, including HS codes, weights, values, country of origin, and ICS2 compliance for shipments into the EU.
How does tracking work with PostNL and Sendcloud?
PostNL tracking includes collection, sorting, last-mile, and service-point pickup events. QR-code returns flow back as separate tracking events so customers don't need to print anything.
Can I combine PostNL with my other carriers?
Yes. Sendcloud connects 170+ carriers under one platform. Switch carriers per order through shipping rules, manage all of them from one dashboard, and pull tracking from every carrier into the same view.
If a PostNL service hits delays, configure fallback rules to route to another carrier so customers still receive parcels on time.
Can my customers pick up parcels at PostNL service points?
Yes. PostNL service points appear in your checkout when you enable them in Sendcloud. Buyers pick a PostNL pickup location near them at order time, and Sendcloud handles the routing.
Can I handle returns through PostNL?
Yes. PostNL returns flow through Sendcloud's return portal: domestic and international returns, labelless QR returns (no printer needed at home), and parcel pickup from the customer's address. Customers request a return through your branded portal, Sendcloud generates the label or QR code, and the parcel comes back via PostNL. Refunds and exchanges follow your store's flow once the parcel is received.
