The cons of picking up at your doorstep

• If you don't have internet, you have a clear disadvantage when sending parcels. To get the parcel label, you have to go to the parcel shop. This means that you do not need to use the pick-up facility because you can drop off your parcel directly there.


Hermes: Order pick-up - this is how it works

To order a collection from Hermes, you actually only need one ...

• Another disadvantage of picking up is the increased price. Anyone who visits a parcel shop pays a few euros less for parcel shipping. Unless it is a return of goods that are provided with the return label. These shipments are picked up free of charge.
• When picking up, you can specify a preferred date, but not a preferred time. This means that you may have to wait all day for the parcel carrier. Important appointments, purchases or other things can be delayed.

The advantages and disadvantages of picking up at your doorstep are therefore a matter of opinion. Just try out the various services from Hermes to find the right one for you. Have fun!
