Do you have a letter or package that requires urgent delivery? Our postal services can help you.

For more information about our urgent delivery options, and about the costs of urgent delivery, read the document POST: Distributie en verzending binnen/buiten de Vrije Universiteit (in Dutch). Contact Postal Services to request a courier.
Sending a large batch of mail
Do you have more than 100 pieces of domestic or international mail and do they all have the same shape, weight and contents? Deliver them pre-sorted to Postal Services.
More information about sorting and delivering batch mail, and about having it sorted for you, can be found in the document POST: Distributie en verzending binnen/buiten de Vrije Universiteit (in Dutch). A higher rate applies to sending unsorted mail, so it is less expensive to sort large batches of mail yourself.
Cost centre number required for non-regular mail
Because sending non-regular mail always involves additional costs, it must be delivered to Postal Services with a cost centre number. This makes it possible to charge the costs internally. Non-regular mail includes:
- large batches of mail
- dry ice shipments
- courier shipments within the Netherlands (same day delivery)
- registered mail (domestic and international)
- urgent international shipments
