Delivery to recipient only from PostNL.
With the ‘Delivery to recipient only’ shipping option, the deliverer ensures that your parcel is not delivered to the neighbours if the recipient is not at home. If the parcel has not been received after an unsuccessful delivery attempt, the parcel will be dropped off at a PostNL-location. The recipient then has 7 days to collect the parcel. If you would like a parcel to be delivered exclusively to the specified address with a signature upon receipt, select Signature upon receipt and Deliver to recipient only.
