Maxibrief FAQ

  • Was ist der Unterschied zwischen Warenpost und Maxibrief Plus?

    Maxibrief Plus:

    Der Maxibrief Plus ist primär für den Versand von Dokumenten und leichten Waren, wie Dokumente, kleine Bücher, Broschüren bis 2 kg gedacht. 

    Zielgruppe: Privatpersonen und kleine Unternehmen, die gelegentlich Dokumente oder kleinere Waren ins In- und Ausland versenden.

    Warenpost:

    Die Warenpost ist speziell für den Versand von Waren konzipiert, insbesondere für Online-Händler und Unternehmen, die regelmäßig kleinere Waren national bi 1 kg (z. B. Produkte aus einem Onlineshop) verschicken.

    Zielgruppe: Vor allem Online-Händler, die regelmäßig kleine bis mittlere Warenmengen versenden möchten.

  • Ist Maxibrief inklusive Sendungsverfolgung?

    Nein, nicht der reguläre Maxibrief.

    Allerdings bietet die Maxibrief Prio Option eine Sendungsverfolgung mittels ID-Nummer und eine schnellere Zustellung am nächsten Arbeitstag an.

  • Warum ist ein Maxibrief teurer als eine Warensendung?

    Der Maxibrief ist teurer als die Warenpost, weil er eine schnellere Zustellung ermöglicht, flexiblere Inhalte erlaubt, zusätzlichen Service bietet und im Postsystem eine höhere Priorität hat.

    Die Warenpost hingegen ist als kostengünstigere Option konzipiert, insbesondere für den Versand von Waren ohne dringende Zustellungsanforderungen. Dadurch ist sie preislich attraktiver, geht jedoch mit längeren Lieferzeiten und weniger Serviceoptionen einher.
