  2. Price
    1. What is included in the price
      1. The stated prices include any fuel surcharge and are displayed both with and without VAT.
      2. Prices for shipments outside the EU are VAT-free, and consequently fees etc. on shipments outside the EU also VAT-free
      3. The price does not include customs duties and taxes fees, refer to the section on Customs and Customs Document. The price is calculated based on the weight or size of the shipment, the so-called volume weight
      4. Volume weight calculation is the transport industry’s way of converting volume to a number that is comparable to the weight of the shipment. To find the volume weight, first multiply the length, width and height in cm. then divide by 5000. Eg. (LxWxH) / 5000. Some subcontractors may use other volume calculation factors.
      5. The volume weight is compared against the actual weight. The higher weight of the two is the calculation basis for the price.
      6. The price includes that the customer is basically covered for losses through the selected supplier’s standard insurance (refer to subcontractor’s T&C). In the event that the chosen supplier does not offer coverage or sufficient coverage. Further information can be found in chapter 15 “Insurance”.
      7. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that the information entered is correct. If the information is not accurate, only the customer is responsible for any expenses which may incur.
    2. Fees that are not included in the price
      1. Fees for errors, changes, or omissions on the part of the customer.
        In the event of errors or omissions on the part of the customer, the customer will be charged for any expenses that this may entail, according to Mail Boxes Etc. and the subcontractors’ terms and conditions. Depending on the nature of the error, it can also mean that large parts of Mail Boxes Etc. and freight suppliers’ delivery times, guarantees and general liability won’t apply.
        Fees are not limited to, but apply primarily in the following cases:
        1. Change of recipient address in case of error or redirection to new address within the same postcode on the customer’s initiative DKK 59, – (73.75 incl. VAT)

      2. Consignee related fees
        1. When the recipient refuses to accept, freight suppliers and authorities are assigned tasks and responsibilities that go beyond what is expected and most often entail expenses. Therefore, subcontractors as well as customs authorities or others charge coverage for miscellaneous expenses, as well as any expenses in connection with destruction or return shipping. All expenses in this connection are the sole responsibility of the customer, who will be invoiced for this.
        2. In general, all expenses in connection with return shipping are charged to the sender / customer, and not Mail Boxes Etc.
        3. The price of business shipments is based on the easier access to professional recipients at the address. Therefore, most freight providers require a business recipient to meet several different requirements. This can be, for example, staffing during office hours, clear signage, located in commercial housing and the like. For the specific requirements, we refer as mentioned in 1.10 to the selected freight supplier’s business conditions, which are also attached in the order confirmation.
  3. Order confirmation / invoice
    1. When ordered and paid for, an invoice and address label are sent to the customer via e-mail. In addition, the present terms and conditions are sent, as well as terms and conditions for the subcontractor used, cf. the Consumer Contracts Act.
    2. Please note that these terms and conditions are essential as a requirement for the customer’s packaging and preparation of the shipping, the subcontractor’s handling, delivery as well as any compensation and the like.
    3. Once the payment has been made by the customer, the amount is reserved on the payment card used. When the shipping label is sent, the money on the payment card is withdrawn, as the address label acts as a credit note on the shipment. 
  4. CANCELLATION / RIGHT OF WITHDRAWAL
    1. As a starting point, Mail Boxes Etc. services are exempt from the right of withdrawal. If a purchase / order is cancelled, this can be cancelled by contacting Mail Boxes Etc. in writing via e-mail.

    2. Cancellation can only be made if the label hasn’t been scanned by courier or representative and within one month of the purchase.
    3. The money is returned to the bank account within 1-3 days of banking days for private customers. However, this may vary depending on the credit card used for the purchase.

  5. Collection / Pick up of the parcel

This service is not offered through the online web shop orders. 

  1. Handing in the parcel (drop off at a parcel shop)

  3. Delay
    1. In some cases, there may be a longer delivery time in connection with the packages being cleared through customs. Customs officers can always take a package out for inspection or put the shipment on “hold” until the information they need is present. Unfortunately, this will sometimes result in a slightly longer delivery time than stated. In the event of any intervention by public authorities that is not due to actions by Mail Boxes Etc. or subcontractors, all delivery deadlines and any associated guarantees and their respective possibilities for compensation lapse.
    2. You can read more about compensation in case of delay under the section Limitation of liability.
  4. PARCEL DIMENSIONS AND WEIGHT
    1. When ordering a shipment, the customer will only be offered services from suppliers who are able to handle the shipment with the stated data for dimensions and weight. If the physical shipment deviates from the stated measurements, it may result in rejection of shipment or post-invoicing, refer to the price section. The offered sizes are not only dependent on the subcontractor’s generally offered services and options, but also on the specific trade agreement entered into between Mail Boxes Etc. and the specific subcontractor, which is why there may be suppliers who will not be offered in the price calculator, despite their capability when trading directly with them. Specific to the MBE Online Shipping Service the total dimension limit is 350 cm (Length + 2xWidth + 2xHeight <350), maximum length is 200cm (199), and maximum weight 25kg (24,99kg).

Mail Boxes Etc. comply with the air transport rules established by the International Air Transport Association (IATA) and the rules on road transport established by UN ADR and do not receive dangerous goods in its system – nationally or internationally. Local national rules also apply to road transport. Companies or private individuals who ship dangerous goods without proper labelling, documentation and packaging may be subject to significant financial and legal penalties. It is also important to remember the following when shipping items with Mail Boxes Etc.: 1 If you recycle packaging or boxes, make sure that old labels are removed. Labels labeled Dangerous Goods/Dangerous Goods on a package will cause the shipment to be restrained and examined, which will cause delays and inconvenience to you and your customer. 2 If you ship goods that could be confused with dangerous goods, if necessary, because of their unusual name, appearance, or otherwise, but are not, it would be advantageous to state clearly in the transit documents that the goods are ‘not classified as dangerous goods’. This ensures that the shipment is not unnecessarily delayed. Any incorrect declarations will result in severe penalties for the sender.
