Use Circuit Package Tracker to track your package with PostNL. Get the updates you need to manage your schedule and never miss a delivery.
PostNL was formed after a series of transactions starting in the late 90s. Its roots are from an Australian-based company called TNT Limited. Then KPN, a government-owned postal monopoly in the Netherlands, purchased portions of TNT Limited from the Australian firm. Afterwards, KPN merged its own post division with TNT Limited to form the TNT Post Group (TPG).
For the next 10 years, TPG went on to make a series of acquisitions from private freight and package delivery firms from around the world. PostNL was thus formed by TPG who finally branched PostNL off as a separate business specializing in express delivery services.
PostNL is a domestic and international mail and package delivery corporation that is also involved in e-commerce. They operate from the European nations of the Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Belgium, and the United Kingdom. PostNL provides universal delivery in the Netherlands.
A feature of PostNL is its quick turnaround delivery. Their standard provision is domestic next-day delivery unless you request a reschedule.
PostNL delivers packages up to 30kg, letter posts, cold items that include frozen foods, fresh foods, and supplements.
PostNL delivers worldwide to every continent in the world as well as remote-island countries such as Fiji..
