Delivery with PostNL
We deliver your order with PostNL as a standard package or as a mailbox package with a track and trace number. Within 24 hours you will receive an email containing your 3S-number. You can use this number to track your orders shipping trajectory on the website of PostNL. For preordered books you will only receive your 3S-number once the book is officially released.
Standard packages are generally delivered later in the day than mailbox packages.
