Information for recipients
The delivery of parcels to home and business addresses is currently subject to a special regime in accordance with government regulations and expert advice. Maximum emphasis is placed on limiting physical contact between the courier and the recipient and observing hygiene measures. All recipients of parcels are advised to familiarise themselves with the Ten Rules for Responsible Parcel Recipients in an Emergency Situation.
Contactless parcel delivery
In order to protect the health of customers and employees, packages are currently delivered in a non-contact manner, where contact between the courier and the recipient is completely eliminated and emphasis is placed on maintaining a safe distance. Upon delivery, the courier rings the bell, puts the package down, steps back and waits for the recipient to collect the package. The courier then signs for the package in the scanner, which means there is no contact with the scanner.
