Marketplace pickup services charge their own rates. The final price will depend on what you bought on Marketplace (dimensions, weight) and the distance the courier has to cover in total. Agree on a clear rate in advance so there are no surprises. Does it involve valuable goods? Check carefully that the shipment is insured by the carrier.

Transporting your own Marketplace purchase

Most small purchases can be simply mailed by the seller of the marketplace product. If it is an extra large, heavy or valuable product, you can also choose to pick it up yourself.

Cost standard package through Marketplace

Marketplace sellers can set their own shipping rates. Often this is around 3 euros for a letterbox package (think books) to 7 euros for a standard package. Most sellers use PostNL. The PostNL rates can be found here.

If it is a small but valuable shipment, you can ask the Marketplace seller to send the package by registered mail. The shipment is then insured up to 500 euros in case of loss or damage. In addition, a signature for receipt is then required, preventing the package from ending up in the wrong hands.

Shipping extra large or heavy Marketplace purchase

What also happens occasionally is that Marketplace shipments fall outside the standard dimensions of the major postal companies. Below is an overview of the dimensions and weights used by PostNL, DPD, DHL and UPS.

Postvervoerder	Maximale afmetingen	Maximaal gewicht
PostNL	176x78x58 cm	30 kg
DHL	80x60x50 cm	23 kg
DPD	lengte + 2 x breedte + 2 x hoogte = max. 3 meter	20 kg
UPS	Lengte + omtrek van pakketten maximaal 400 cm. Max. 274 cm lang	70 kg

Note that many Marketplace sellers, especially if they are private sellers, will not be willing to send an extra-large or heavy package. Packing such a package properly can be a lot of work. If this is not done properly, you have a greater chance of damage. In that case, consider picking up the shipment yourself or having it picked up by a Marketplace delivery person.

Pick up your own Marketplace purchase

Many Marketplace buyers pick up their purchases themselves. If it's a somewhat larger purchase that won't fit in the car, such as a couch or a large piece of art, it's best to borrow or rent a trailer or Budelbak. You can rent such a trailer easily and very affordably at many gas stations. If you're going to transport a Marketplace purchase yourself on a trailer or by driving the car over, you'll need to take a closer look at what driver's license you need. If it's a purchase that fits on a one-axle trailer or box, a standard B license will normally suffice. On the RDW website you can easily enter your license plate number after which you can quickly see what weight your car is allowed to tow and what the unladen weight and payload of your vehicle is.
