Posten Norge launches at-home parcel sending service

Norway’s Posten Norge has launched a ‘from door’ parcel sending service that allows customers to send parcels from home.

For a surcharge of Nkr15 (US$1.85) over the regular postage fee, customers can arrange at-home parcel collection from their regular postperson. Customers can go online, pay for postage, and arrange for next-day collection of parcels. The online payment generates a single-use code that the customer writes on the parcel, ready for collection.

The shipment must weigh less than 2kg and fit in a mailbox. If it is larger, customers can buy a digital postage stamp and deliver it to regular red mailboxes or post offices.

Tone Wille, CEO of Posten Norge, said, “This is an offer for those who want a simpler day and this new service contributes to that. Physical supplies do not get old-fashioned, it only happens in new ways.

“The customers who have already tested the solution are delighted and say that this is a need. For us in the Post, it is exciting to combine new technology and traditional mailboxes.”
