Changing delivery address and order details: crucial to know

  • Changing the delivery address could cause delays. If you change the delivery details after the order was already submitted to the courier, the pick-up of your parcel will most probably be postponed. This happens because the new data has to be processed again. Also, since the courier drivers follow a pre-determined route, last-minute modifications of their schedule may not be possible.
  • Changing pick-up, delivery address or dates can incur additional costs. The courier service may apply surcharges, depending on the service type you have selected and the time of requesting a change.
  • If you are not looking to change the delivery details but cancel the order, you may not be entitled to reimbursement. You should check this in more detail with the chosen courier company.
  • Always double-check the information you insert when you are booking a shipping service. The most common reason for changing the delivery address is the wrong postal code or apartment number.
