  Why was my parcel redirected?

  Parcels are redirected by the system only in exceptional cases, if the selected pick-up point is unavailable at the time of delivery due to a holiday or full capacity.

  Under what conditions can I have the parcel redirected?

  Parcel redirection is possible in exceptional cases:

  • The pick-up point you selected has a holiday longer than 3 working days.

  • The pick-up point you selected has full capacity and is not currently available.

  • For faster delivery, we have redirected the parcel to a branch that is not suitable for you.

  Are you handling one of these cases? Write to us through the contact form and select the topic Parcel redirection.

  I want to return the parcel

  If the sender sent you the package through our app, you send the package back to him in the same way. Just create the shipment request in the standard way in the application. Find out how here.

  We offer senders (online shops) two services that provide reverse logistics:

  1. Return shipment

  You return the parcel with the code provided by the sender (the online shop to which you are sending the goods back). You bring the packaged goods you want to return to the drop-off point, dictate this code to the staff, and you don't have to worry about anything else.

  2. Complaints assistant

  Even in this case, it is necessary to contact the sender of the parcel, who will provide you with a special label. It will either come to you by e-mail or already together with the goods in the original package.

  Then all you have to do is wrap the goods, stick a label on the box and take it to one of our drop-off points. Don't have a printer? It doesn't matter — write down the ten-digit tracking number from the label and ask the staff of the drop-off point to print it out.

  How can I return parcel to the online shop/sender?

  Did the sender send you the package via the app?

  You return the parcel to him in the same way. You create the parcel in the standard way in the application. You can find out how on our blog.

  Did you receive a parcel from the online shop?

  In this case, contact the online shop from which you ordered the parcel. He will advise you how to send it back (because it depends on what solution he uses).

  I want to claim a parcel

  If you want to file a complaint, please use the complaint form, which will advise you on what details need to be provided to us.

  The complaint is filed by a so-called authorized person. The recipient of the parcel becomes an authorized person only after picking up the parcel. If the parcel is in the In transit status, you need to contact the sender of the parcel.

  How much does the Parcel declared value service cost?

  It depends on the value of the shipment:

  • Parcel up to EUR 15: compensation for damage to the parcel, if its value does not exceed EUR 15, we will reimburse you even without using the Parcel declared value service.

  • For parcels worth more than EUR 15 up to EUR 200: the price of the Parcel declared value service is EUR 0.02 for every EUR 5 started.

  The value of the parcel is automatically set to €15. If damage occurs to a parcel where you did not choose the Parcel declared value service, you will be reimbursed up to €15, even if the actual value of the parcel may be higher.

  Therefore, for parcels whose value is higher than €15, we recommend using the Parcel declared value service. For an additional fee of a few cents, in the event of damage to the parcel, you will be reimbursed for its true value.

  Of course! It is important to check the conditions of transport of foreign partners, which you can find on the websites of individual carriers and in our price list.

  We also recommend that you set up a subscription to news so that you are always and timely informed about the latest news regarding shipping abroad. We also regularly update the current information about carriers on our blog.

  What is the cost of shipping abroad?

  The price of transport depends on the place of submission, the parameters of the parcelt, the destination country and the method of delivery to the destination country, with the lowest rate being €2.80 without VAT. You can find more information about specific prices on our website in the section Price lists and surcharges.

  What is a customs duty and how long does the customs procedure take?

  Customs duty (or customs fee) is an amount collected by the state when goods cross the customs border. A state or a group of states uses it as a so-called protective measure (the country thus protects its internal market from goods from neighboring countries). The collection of customs duties is controlled by the customs administration of the given country and regulated by the customs law.

  As for the length of the customs procedure, it depends on where the parcel is sent and what type of customs clearance it is. Therefore, the exact deadline cannot be guaranteed. However, if all the details are filled in correctly by the sender when ordering transport and the parcel is not stopped by the Customs Office for inspection, there is no delay.

  In what form and how often do I receive my withdrawals?

  The frequency depends on the billing method you have set up. The basic method of invoicing is weekly with credit, and cash on delivery is paid daily in one payment to your bank account.

  How is the billing for the Packeta services handled?

  As standard, we offer invoicing at weekly intervals with credit against selected cash on delivery. According to the GTC, cash on delivery is paid within 10 working days after delivery of the parcel to the bank account specified in your client section.

  Who do I contact if I have a billing problem?

  You can download all your invoices in your client section. If you register a discrepancy or have additional questions about invoicing, contact us at fakturcia@packeta.sk. Colleagues from the finance department will be happy to help you

  How much does it cost to ship a parcel with Packeta?

  The basic price is from €2.30 without VAT for a standard parcel size and delivery to our delivery point. You can view our entire price list in the document under this link.

  What are the prices for oversized parcels?

  It is not only the weight and size of the parcel that matters, but also where it is going. Prices may therefore vary.

  All prices of our services, including oversized parcels, can be found on our website or directly in the complete price list of our services.

  What's a depot?

  At the depots, we sort the parcels brought from the drop-off points and pickups and deliver them to the pick-up points, to Z-BOXes, or to customer addresses.

  At some depots, it is also possible to deliver parcels. We have more than 10 depots in SK alone.

  TIP: See the Overview of our depots with opening hours and address.

  What are the opening hours of the depot?

  You can find the opening hours of all our depots in the Overview of our depots.

  What should I do if the drop-off point is closed?

  If your favorite drop-off location is closed, we recommend using another one located nearby. You can find a list of drop-off points on our website. Parcels can be submited at our depots or drop-off points. You can find an overview of our depots and opening hours here.

  How to pack a parcel properly?

  Place the product ideally in a hard cardboard box with the appropriate dimensions and seal it so that the parcel cannot be opened. We recommend sticking the adhesive tape in a cross.

  It is necessary to always have one parcel in one homogenous package, no more.

  Do not forget to fill the empty space in the package so that the contents do not break on the way.

  Then label the parcel correctly with a shipping label - and that's it. You can find more detailed instructions on packaging the parcel on our website.

  How to mark a parcel correctly?

  You just need to print the label that is generated for you in the client section and stick it on the parcel (in case you cover the label with adhesive tape, remember that it must not overlap the barcode). Make sure that there is always only one high-quality affixed label on the parcel. Please always use the newly generated label for each parcel.

  What goods I cannot send?

  Packeta does not transport goods of the following type:

  • large, bulky or heavy parcels (furniture, tires, refrigerators, TVs, etc.)

  Can the parcel storage period be limited?

  The standard storage period is set at 7 calendar days with the possibility of an extension of another 14 days. The maximum storage period at the pick-up point is therefore 21 days.

  Both the sender and the recipient have the option to extend the storage period in online tracking, or in the Packeta application.

  The online shop, as the sender, has the possibility to disable the option of extending the storage period in the system.

  Is it possible to delay the deadline for picking up the parcel at the pick-up point?

  Yes, this service is also optional when entering the parcel. It is enough to click on the Scheduled delivery button when submitting the parcel and enter the delivery date.

  Is it possible to provide age verification for parcels 18+?

  Yes, we also offer this service. If you are an online shop, you can order the 18+ age verification service in the client section when submitting a parcel. Individuals can find this option in the Packeta application in the Services section.

  The customer has not received any information email and/or SMS with password. How to proceed?

  In this case, you need to check the contact details of the recipient, ideally in the Submitted parcels section in the client section, or contact our customer service (via the contact form). ur colleagues will check the customer's contact details, and possibly resend an informational e-mail or SMS with the password.

  What should I do if my client section doesn't work?

  If there is any problem with the client section, please wait 5 minutes and then reload the web page or login again. We recommend trying the web browser Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox.

  I mistakenly entered the wrong pick-up point. What now?

In the client section, you can cancel a parcel in the Submitted parcels list using the red trash can icon.

  Why doesn't the online shop offer my favourite Z-BOX?

  If the Z-BOX to which you would like to have the package delivered does not appear in the pick-up and drop-off point search, it probably has full capacity. Please wait and try the order again later.

  Are you in a rush to place your order and can't wait for capacity to free up? Then we recommend choosing another pick-up point nearby.

  Another reason may be that the online shop has the possibility of delivery to Z-BOXes turned off (it will not be possible to choose another Z-BOX). In this case, please contact the online shop directly.

  Can Z-BOX be in my area?

  Do you want Z-BOX in your location as well? Let us know via the form where Z-BOX is missing.

  Why do you install keyboards on Z-BOXes?

  We launched Z-BOXes during the pandemic, when the possibility of contactless collection via the app was a clear choice. At the same time, we want to make picking up from Z-BOXes simple and accessible to everyone. And that's why we offer you the opportunity to choose the method of picking up the parcel that suits you.

  Can I still pick up my parcel via the mobile app?

  Of course, the way you choose to open the Z-BOX is up to you. We will always send you a pick-up code when we deliver your parcel to a Z-BOX that has a keyboard. At the same time, the option to pick up the parcel using the app as you are used to remains.

  How do I find out if a given Z-BOX has a keyboard?

  We will gradually install the keyboards on all Z-BOXes. If your favorite Z-BOX has it at the moment, you can simply check in the search engine for pick-up points (widget) on the website via the filter option - just select "Z-BOXes with keyboard" there.
  
  At the same time, when searching for a Z-BOX, you can take a look at the details of a specific Z-BOX, where you will also find this information.
  
  If you send parcels via our mobile app, when choosing a pick-up point, you have the option of displaying Z-BOXes with the keyboard directly in the application. 

  What does the pick-up code look like and where can I find it?

  This is a six-digit numerical code that we will send to you by e-mail and vSMS as soon as the parcel is ready for collection in Z-BOX.
  
  You can also view the code in the parcel details directly in the mobile application.
  
  In case of cash on delivery, we will first ask you to pay the cash on delivery and you will receive the code as soon as the cash on delivery is paid. 

  How does keyboard pick-up work?

  It's really simple:
  
  1. You can find the numerical code for picking up the parcel in an e-mail, SMS or in the mobile application.
  
  2. Enter the pick-up code on the keyboard located on one of the Z-BOX mailboxes.
  
  3. Confirm the input by pressing the green ""Enter"" button.
  
  4. After opening the box, take out the package.
  
  5. Close the mailbox.

  Does the keyboard have a payment terminal? Can I pay cash on delivery by card through it?

  The keyboards on the Z-BOXes do not have payment terminals, therefore it is not possible to pay cash on delivery directly at the Z-BOX with a payment card. However, you can easily pay the cash on delivery either in the mobile application or via the link to track the parcel, which you will find in the email.
  
  As soon as you pay the cash on delivery, we will send you a code for picking up the parcel. 

  Why I can't find the pick-up code even though I have the parcel stored in the Z-BOX with the keyboard?

  As soon as the parcel arrives to Z-BOX, we will send you a message that it is ready for you to pick up. But first, we will ask you to pay cash on delivery. As soon as you pay the cash on delivery, we will send you a code to pick up the parcel.

  What if I enter the wrong code on the Z-BOX keyboard?

  Nothing happens - you can re-enter the password after 3 seconds. The display will show: “Wrong PIN. Wait 3… 2… 1s”. After these three seconds have passed, the Z-BOX box will ask you to enter the code again. After the second wrong entry, the limit increases to 30 seconds. After the third attempt, to 1 minute.

  What if I accidentally close the Z-BOX door with a parcel inside?

  After opening the mailbox for the first time, it is possible to enter the code repeatedly in 5 minutes.

  What if the keyboard breaks?

  In case the keyboard does not work, you can easily open the Z-BOX via the mobile application.

• How do I filter my Z-BOXes? Do I want my order to arrive here?

  In the web widget, you can find the "boxes" filter in the "Type" section. In the online shop widget, it depends on what this online shop allows as a possible delivery method. If the given online shop has Z-BOXes enabled, you can easily filter them in "Pick-up point type".

  What is the Packeta widget?

  The widget is a search engine for Packeta pick-up and drop-off points. It is an interactive map search program. For searching, you can use the search field and several filters, thanks to which you can choose the branch that suits you.

  Why are some pick-up points grayed out in the search engine and I can't select them?

  In the widget (pick-up and drop-off points finder), pick-up points that cannot be selected for delivery are marked in gray.

  It is because of:

  • full capacity of the pick-up point

  • holidays of the pick-up point

  • the online shop has limited delivery to some pick-up points (e.g. to Z-BOXes)

  The online shop can choose whether to allow delivery to all types of pick-up points. Some shops, for example, do not allow delivery to Z-BOXes due to the nature of the goods. In the given online shop, all Z-BOXes will be marked in gray, but these pick-up points are still displayed on the map for your maximum clarity.

  Why is the widget search engine different for the website, in the application and in the online shop?

  Search serves a different purpose on each of these platforms:

  The website displays all pick-up and drop-off points (own and partner) around the world, so that everyone can find information about the branch that interests them.

  In the Packeta mobile application, greater emphasis is placed on customizing the search for pick-up and drop-off points on mobile.

  In the online shop version of the search engine, pick-up points are displayed reflecting the settings of the given online shop, and at the same time are currently open (there is no holiday) and have free capacity for parcels.

  Can I search for pick-up or drop-off points by branch ID?

  Yes, you can search for a pick-up or drop-off point by ID in the widget. Just type the letter i and an underscore in the search engine before the ID: "i_" (i.e. i_1234).

  You can find the branch ID in the details of the pick-up point. So once you find your favorite branch, copy its ID and then enter the ID together with "i_" in the search engine during any purchase in the online shop. Thanks to this, you can easily and quickly find it and choose it for delivery. Or you can copy the branch ID with the already mentioned "i_" by simply clicking on its ID in the branch detail.

  Can I save my favorite pick-up point?

  Clearly! You can save your favorite locations in the online shop and web location finder so that you can always find them easily and quickly. The heart icon is used for this. You will then see them in the first positions in the search engine and the aforementioned heart icon will light up.

  Where can I find my favorite pick-up points?

  You can find all your saved favorite pick-up points in the list of pick-up points on the first rows and a red heart icon will light up next to them.

  Why is my favorite pick-up point missing from my list of preferred locations?

  Favorite pick-up points are stored on the basis of cookies (these are short text files that the visited website sends to your browser, allowing the website to record information about your visit). When cookies are deleted from your computer, they may be lost.

  Why don't you show opening hours for some pick-up points?

  Pick-up points enter data about their branch, including opening hours, into the system themselves. For some partner pick-up points, there may therefore be a situation where the branch does not state the opening hours for various reasons, and therefore we cannot display them either (the reason may be, for example, that the opening hours change depending on the weather, etc.).

  Why can't I order a parcel delivery to the selected pick-up point?

  If you cannot select your preferred branch, it is likely that one of the following situations has occurred:

  • the given online shop has itself selected a pick-up point as one to which parcels cannot be delivered

  • the pick-up point is currently at full capacity

  • the pick-up point is currently on holiday

  • your parcel does not meet the parcel parameters (e.g. weight or age verification) that the pick-up point accepts

  Such a pick-up point is then marked in gray in the search engine. Please choose another pick-up point for delivery.

  Why are you offering me the nearest unoccupied pick-up point instead of my preferred branch?

  Your chosen pick-up point will soon be at full capacity - and this could affect the successful delivery of your parcel. That's why our search engine suggests the nearest pick-up point that has free capacity.

  It is up to you which pick-up point you choose. However, when choosing a pick-up point that is already almost full, keep in mind that there may be a situation where the parcel cannot be delivered there and our driver will therefore store it at another nearby branch that will be free at the time of delivery.

  How do I know which pick-up point has free capacity?

  We recommend to filter the pick-up points with "quick pickup option" in the online shop widget. You can find this filter under "Other". You could also follow the green dot icon that appears in the list of branches next to their name.

  How do I know if it is possible to pay cash on delivery by card at the pick-up point?

  Filter the pick-up points with a card payment option. You can do this by going to the filters in the "Cash on delivery option" section, where you will find various payment filtering options.

  I'm looking for a pick-up point with opening hours on the weekend, how can I do that?

  Using the filter, you can easily search for pick-up points open on Saturday or on Sunday. Just select the desired day in the filters in the "Opening hours" section.

  How do I know which pick-up point has wheelchair access?

  In "Other" section of the filters, you will find the "wheelchair access" filter.

• How do I know if it's phishing?

  Cybercriminals try to imitate official websites or company communications as reliably as possible.

  However, upon closer examination, you may find that the link contains typos, wording that does not make sense in the given link, or confusion of letters and numbers, such as 1 instead of l or .cx instead of .cz.

  We recommend not clicking on suspicious links, and especially not sharing your personal and bank details.

  You can find out what such fraudulent messages or e-mails look like and what to watch out for on the Cybersecurity and data protection page.

  How does my email or phone get to the scammer?

  What should I do if I clicked on an active phishing link but did not enter any details?

  If it is a phishing attack abusing the Packety name, please write to us via the contact form and click Fraudulent action. You can find information on our Cybersecurity and data protection page.

  What should I do if I have clicked on an active phishing link and entered my credit card details?

  In this case, it is necessary to contact your bank as soon as possible and block the card, then cancel all suspicious transactions and report the situation to the Police of the Czech Republic.

  If you have multi-factor authentication set up for your payment card, e.g. via phone or electronic banking, be sure not to confirm anything.

• How to pack a parcel properly?

  Ideally, you put the product in a hard cardboard box with the required dimensions and seal it so that the parcel cannot be opened. We recommend sticking the adhesive tape in a cross.

  The obligation is to always have one parcel in one homogeneous package, not in several.

  Don't forget to fill the empty space in the parcel so that the contents don't break on the way.

  Then label the parcel correctly with a shipping label - and that's it. You can find more detailed instructions for packing the parcel on our website.

  Who can file a claim?

  Complaints can be filed by the parcel sender or the recipient. Damage compensation is subsequently paid to the authorized person, according to our valid general terms and conditions and terms and conditions in the case of using the BetweenUs service.

  How to file a claim?

  You can easily file a complaint using our complaint form.

  What must be documented to settle a claim request?

  This depends on the reason for the complaint and the person making the complaint. Our compliant form will guide you to the list of required documents. If additional information is required, our claims department will contact you.

  What can be the reason for the complaint?

  • Loss of the parcel

  • Damage to the parcel

  • Missing package contents

  • Exchange of the parcel

  • Late parcel delivery

  • Incorrect billing

  What should I do if my package is lost?

  The complaint must be filled out directly by the sender, using our complaint form. The recipient must therefore contact the sender directly and proceed according to the valid complaint procedure of the online shop, or communicate the return of the shipping fee with the physical sender through the application.

  How to proceed in the event of a damaged parcel?

  You could refuse to accept a visibly damaged parcel at the pick-up point. In this case, the parcel will be returned to the sender.

  If you have already received the parcel (or it was delivered to you via Z-BOX/by courier to the address), it is necessary to take a photo of the packaging, interior filling and contents of the parcel in order to make a claim. You then file a claim using the compliant form, through which you send us the photos you took.

  How to proceed in the event of an exchanged parcel?

  If you receive goods belonging to someone else, you need to contact us as soon as possible. When submitting a claim through the compliant form, it is necessary to document a detailed description of what goods were delivered to you and a description of the content you expected. At the same time, we recommend sending a photo of the shipping label so that we can identify the other customer.

  I received something different from what I ordered

  Did you order goods from the online shop? Then check the invoice that is enclosed in the parcel.

  • Is the invoice has a different name on it and does it list goods that differ from what you ordered? Then the online shop made the change. It is therefore necessary to contact the sender directly and solve the matter with him.

  • Is the invoice has your name on it, but there are goods that differ from what you ordered, but they are from the given online shop? In this case, the sender probably confused the order. Please connect with him directly.

  • If the parcel does not contain an invoice or if the parcel contains completely different goods that the given online shop does not deliver, contact us via the complaint form and together we will agree on the return of the faulty goods.

  How long does it take to process a complaint?

  According to the general terms and conditions, we have 30 days from its submission to process a claim. We will notify you by email as soon as we begin to process your request.

  We always try to resolve all requests in the shortest possible time. The time of the first response to an incoming request may vary depending on the number of complaint requests that have arrived before yours.

  How long will it take for my claim to be paid?

  Recognized damage is reimbursed to the authorized person within 30 days from the claim confirmation. However, we usually send the money earlier.

  Why I can't make a claim request directly at the pick-up point?

  This would make the entire complaint resolution longer and more complicated. The only way to file a claim is through our compliant form. Thanks to it, we have the opportunity to handle the entered requests quickly and efficiently.

  Is it necessary to appraise the parcel?

  It is not necessary, but we recommend that senders via the mobile application who send more valuable goods use the Parcel declared value service.

  What can I do if I disagree with the outcome of the complaint?

  You can contact the Czech Telecommunications Authority. After sending a complaint to this entity, the Czech Telecommunications Authority will contact us and try to resolve the dispute out of court.

  How to proceed in case of incorrect invoicing?

  If you are the sender of the parcel and have paid us for the service provided, it is necessary to fill out our complaint form. Choose the topic Incorrect invoicing and tell us the reasons why the service was not performed in sufficient quality.

  If you are the recipient of the parcel, you have paid the fee for the provision of our services to the seller, and therefore it is necessary to resolve the complaint with the sender.

• How does Home Delivery service work?

  Home Delivery is a delivery service by courier to your home, office or any other address.

  On the day of delivery, we will send you an SMS message with the estimated delivery time. Before the actual delivery, the courier will try to contact you at least twice by phone and then arrive at the place of delivery.

  If he does not reach you, the parcel is redirected to a nearby pick-up point with free capacity. Alternatively, it is possible to arrange rerouting with the courier by phone.

  Can I have the package delivered to a different address?

  You can change the delivery address via the link in the SMS notification that you will receive on the day of delivery.

  How many times will the courier try to deliver my package?

  Currently, for the sake of delivery efficiency, we have set one delivery attempt for Home Delivery service.

  In the event of an unsuccessful delivery attempt, the parcel is stored at a nearby pick-up point with free capacity, where you can pick it up after receiving a notification that the parcel was ready for delivery. The notification contains a password for pick up and is sent by e-mail and SMS or via the Packeta mobile application.

  What if I can't reach the courier at the time of arrival?

  There is nothing to worry about, you will not lose your parcel. If the driver does not meet you at the agreed address, the parcel will be redirected to a nearby pick-up point with free capacity, where you will be able to pick it up.

  I wasn't able to pick up the courier's call, what can I do?

  If you missed the courier's call, you can call him backl and make an appointment with him for delivery.

  However, the couriers are behind the wheel and delivering other packages, so it is possible that the courier will not be able to answer your call. However, it still arrives at the address indicated on the parcel and attempts to deliver the package.

  If he cannot reach you at the address, the parcel will be redirected to a nearby pick-up point with free capacity.

  Can I change the delivery date to another day?

  If you want to change the date of delivery of the parcel, you can do so via the link with tracking on the day of delivery of the parcel.

  What do I need to receive the parcel?

  Just like when picking up a package at our drop-off points, you will be asked to provide a PIN code when the package is delivered. The PIN code will be delivered to you in the notification regarding the delivery of the parcel and that in SMS. Alternatively, you can prove yourself with an identity document.

  Where can I find the password to receive the parcel?

  We will send you the password to receive the parcel in an SMS notification on the day of delivery.

  Can someone else pick up my parcel?

  Yes. Just like when picking up a parcel at our pick-up points, it is possible for an authorized person (to whom you give the password) to receive the parcel for you. However, keep in mind that the courier has your phone number and will call you. Therefore, tell him during the call that a person authorized by you will pick up the parcel.

  How can I pay cash on delivery?

  Cash on delivery for a parcel delivered to an address can be paid in two ways:

  • Online payment gateway through a click in online tracking.

  • Directly upon receipt of the parcel by card or cash to the courier.
