What letter with the additional service collection means

A letter with the additional service collection means the following:

  • A letter with the additional service collection can be a harmless cash on delivery letter. This is often used, for example, when you order from an online shop for the first time. This shop then wants to make sure that you are guaranteed to pay for your first order.
  • For this reason, the deliverer is entitled to demand the specified cash on delivery amount from you. If you are not prepared to pay this, then you will not be given the cash on delivery parcel or letter.
  • Furthermore, many authorities or companies only issue a certificate, etc. if the issuance of this is paid for by you cash on delivery. This is also a letter with the additional service collection.
  • The maximum amount that can be collected with a cash on delivery letter is 1,600 euros.
    • Send a parcel cash on delivery - this is how it works
