Change at Packstations comes into effect: DHL customers will get their parcels faster from this week
DHL takes a big hurdle when using Packstations. As of Thursday, users no longer have to wait several days, but can activate the function directly online via the app.
The free Post & DHL app bundles the most important post and parcel services. Do you want to buy postage or parcel stamps, track shipments via live tracking or be notified in advance when a letter arrives for you? The app collects many practical functions.
The app is also important in interaction with the Packstation: it displays details about Packstation shipments and informs customers via push notification as soon as a package is ready for collection.
But in order for you to be able to use it, you first need to verify it with an activation code, which is sent by letter. This can take a few days. A new method allows unlocking immediately.
Postident shortens verification: minutes instead of days
Previously, when verifying the DHL Paket recipient services, it was necessary to have an address TAN sent to you at home. At the packing station, DHL states a duration of three to five days. With the new Post & DHL app from version 9.2 or the rollout of the PostIdent function
from March 23rd
a practical shortcut can be taken.
Authentication via FotoIdent, AutoIdent or E-ID should then be available directly in the app. Setting up a Packstation or parcel redirection is much easier, more convenient and faster. Ideally, you will then be up and running within a few minutes instead of a few days, as was previously the case.
