The sticker requirements are shown when choosing the courier company in the courier list. You will see either a “Label Required” sign (red printer icon) or “Label Not Required” sign (green printer icon). If labelling the parcel is required, we will send you the label via email in PDF format. This label should be printed out with the barcode as writing the address on the parcel is insufficient.

Courier companies try their best to deliver your parcels on time, and they have a success rate of approximately 95%. However, we cannot guarantee that there won't be unforeseen delays on route (weather, customs traffic accidents, etc.)

Having parcels ready for shipping (properly packed and labelled) and being reachable at collection addresses is essential for timeous deliveries. Recipients should track packages online and be ready to expect calls from the drivers once the tracking shows that the parcels have been loaded into the cars for deliveries.

If the recipient isn't available at his / her address and isn't answering their phone calls, the courier will advise Parcelspot.  We will then contact the receiver to notify them that the courier is attempting to deliver the parcel and make the required arrangements.  If the recipient is unreachable telephonically, we will then contact the sender to obtain an alternative number.  Repeated unsuccessful delivery attempts, however, may result in the parcel being returned.
