Receiving mail
Here’s how it works
1. Select My Post 24 terminals as your collection point
In some online shops, you can automatically select a My Post 24 terminal as the collection point for your order. If this is not the case, enter the address of the terminal you require manually.
You can find the current My Post 24 terminals here in the Location search.
2. Enter the correct address in the online shop
Your consignment must be specially addressed so that it can be delivered to a My Post 24 terminal.
When entering the address of the terminal you require in the online shop, please note the following: enter both the keyword “My Post 24” and your User ID in the “Additional address information” field. If only three address lines are available, enter your first name and last name in the “First name” field and the keyword and User ID in the “Last name” field.
3. Collect consignment
You will receive an e-mail and/or SMS as soon as your consignment has arrived. It will tell you how to pick up your consignment.
