PostNL N.V. operates one of the largest delivery customer-service operations in the country. The main consumer line 088 22 55 555 routes through an automated menu first — to reach a human agent quickly, press 0 repeatedly or say 'agent' when prompted. Wait times are typically shortest mid-week between 9am and 11am local time, longest on Monday mornings and the day after a service outage or product launch.
PostNL segments specialist teams behind the main number: billing, technical support, account security, and an executive escalation desk reachable only after Tier 1 has logged the case. The brand publishes its contact details at https://www.postnl.nl/klantenservice/; the page is updated periodically with new toll-free numbers, regional offices, and country-specific lines for international customers. Always verify the number on that page before dialing — scam operators routinely buy ads on the brand's name and substitute their own number to harvest payment details.
If PostNL cannot resolve your case after two contacts, the regulator for this category is ACM / ConsuWijzer (https://www.consuwijzer.nl/). A regulator complaint forces a written response within 30 days and is the single most effective consumer tool in this market.

Common PostNL issues & solutions
Order never arrived but app marks delivered
Open the order, tap 'help' → 'order issue' → 'never arrived'. PostNL normally refunds in full within 24 hours for orders under $50 and investigates the courier for higher amounts.
Wrong order or missing items
Report within 24 hours via the app — the photo of the bag is required. Partial refunds for missing items credit instantly; full re-delivery for wrong orders takes a separate visit.
Driver behaved unprofessionally
Use the in-app rating + report. PostNL's trust & safety team reviews complaints; serious incidents trigger driver suspension and a refund of the delivery fee.
Subscription (DashPass / Eats Pass / Prime) won't cancel
Cancel via the account → membership page. If the subscription bills after cancellation, call 088 22 55 555 with the screenshot — refunds for the most recent month are routine.
Tip cannot be adjusted after delivery
Many countries allow tip-changes for up to 24 hours after the order completes via the 'rate your driver' screen. Past that, call 088 22 55 555 — agents can add a manual courtesy tip.
Restaurant closed but order placed
PostNL auto-refunds when the restaurant rejects the order. If the app says 'preparing' but you call the restaurant and they're closed, contact 088 22 55 555 immediately to cancel and refund.
