Return parcels
Post returns
Return goods to online shops
Some mail-order companies make it easy for you, as a customer, to return goods. Please also pay attention to the trader’s communication.
How to frank mail
With a shipping label
Send returns for free or at a discounted rate
In most cases, the online retailer will send a shipping label with your order. There are three options:
- Business reply label (GAS): you can return the parcel free of charge and have it collected free of charge
- The consignment code begins with “99.01…”: you can return the parcel at a discounted rate and have it collected free of charge.
- If the trader has integrated pick@home, you can handle the return shipment directly in the shop
Without a shipping label
Print labels yourself
Each return parcel needs a shipping label.
If the trader has not provided you with a shipping label, you can create, pay for and print it yourself online.
At the same time, you can issue an order to have the parcel collected for a fee.
