Bulkmail webservice

The BulkMail web service allows you to compose different types of messages from your own system and send them to the PostNL BulkMail web service in a request message. These messages enable you to directly give advance notification for shipments with PostNL and directly register shipments as a presented shipment. In the response message from the shipment offered, you will receive the P1700 order form with which you can offer your shipment. Both the advance notification and the presented shipment can be consulted and processed further in MijnPost. All messages which can be sent agree with the manual entering or importing of shipments in the MijnPost module BulkMail.

You can also have your address file be verified and sorted. If you want to present a sorted shipment, you will receive in the response message the result of the address verification and the sorted address database, along with the bundling and roll container labels (or pallet labels).
