DPD Manual Classic-Service / Express-Service PART B. THE SHIPPING OF PARCELS 2. Geodata and login codes Creating a Parcel Label Step 1. You must ensure that the Parcel meets the requirements as recorded in Part C of the DPD Manual. Step 2. You must use the Software made available by DPD (myDPD or DelisPrint) to create a Parcel Label per Parcel (in accordance with specifications provided by DPD) and enter the following data: the shipping and delivery location (this cannot be a PO box), the country code, the desired product, the weight of the Parcel, the desired Options, the name and the (preferably mobile) phone number of the Consignee. Step 3. After the above data has been entered, the completed Geodata is automatically sent to DPD by means of the Software, provided you have a working internet connection, after you have pressed the ‘end of day’ button. If the Geodata is not received by DPD, DPD cannot perform the Services. Step 4. After the Geodata is sent to DPD, you must print the Parcel Label and attach it to the Parcel in such a way that the label cannot be separated from the Parcel. Parcel Labels are processed electronically and must be undamaged and the printed text must be readable. Any information written on the Parcel Label, such as stickers with further instructions or extra information cannot be processed and is therefore not a part of the agreement with DPD. Please take notice! If you don’t want to use the Software made available by DPD (myDPD or DelisPrint) to create Parcel Labels, you are to send a test Parcel Label made with your own software to DPD. Provision of Services is subject to prior approval by DPD of the test Parcel Label. Due to continuous development of software/computerization DPD may change the requirements of Parcel Labels. Postal code table The postal code table is necessary in order to have the Parcels send to the right addresses and requires updating three times per year, but this may vary. If you use myDPD the postal code table will be updated by DPD automatically. If you use DelisPrint you are to approve updates in the online application by checking the ‘approve update box’. If you use your own software to create Parcel Labels you are to update the postal code table yourself. DPD will inform you when updating is necessary. After you have updated the postal code table you are to create a test Parcel Label. Provision of further Services is subject to prior approval by DPD of the test Parcel Label. If you have questions you can contact our Customer IT. © Copyright DPD (Nederland) B.V. 2015.

DPD Manual Classic-Service / Express-Service Login codes The login codes for myDPD/DelisPrint (and any other Software) which are provided to you are strictly personal. You are not allowed to disclose the login codes to third parties or have third parties use these login codes, unless DPD has consented explicitly and in writing. Higher costs DPD retains the right to invoice a surcharge if the Parcel Label/the Geodata has not been properly created / entered / filled in. For example when a B2B Parcel label has been created while a B2C Parcel label should have been created. © Copyright DPD (Nederland) B.V. 2015.

DPD Manual Classic-Service / Express-Service 3. How does the pickup of a Parcel at an address in the Netherlands work? Step 1. The Parcel Labels must be created through myDPD/DelisPrint and attached in such a way that the Parcel Label cannot be separated from the Parcel on the day the Parcel is scheduled for pickup. The entire shipment of Parcels must be accompanied by a waybill drafted by you. The waybill must state that DPD is the consignor. Step 2. The Carrier will only pick up Parcels once a day, regardless of the amount of the Parcels scheduled for pickup. DPD and you can mutually agree otherwise. Step 3. The Carriers work on the basis of a strict schedule and therefor drive on the basis of the same predetermined routes. If a specific timeframe for the pickup of Parcels is agreed upon, the Parcels must be ready for pickup at the beginning of – and during – this timeframe. The Parcels must also be accompanied by a waybill, which is to be signed by the Carrier during pickup. Due to the strict schedule, Carriers will only pick up Parcels made available to them on the side of a public road or on the premises of the pickup address at a location designated and suitable for the loading of goods. Step 4. The loading of the Parcels may be a precarious process. For that reason, you must supervise the loading, and you are responsible for the Parcel(s) during this time. Please take notice! If the Parcels are provided in a self-loaded container, the number of Parcels scanned in the DPD-depot is considered to be the number of Parcels provided to the Carrier, unless proof of the contrary can be provided. This also applies if the Carrier has signed a waybill on which a different number of Parcels is indicated. Step 5. Logistics require thinking ahead and planning. As such, it is not possible for a Carrier to pick up more Parcels than agreed upon between DPD and you. If there are no, or less, Parcels than agreed upon available for pickup, then the Carrier will assume that there are no, or fewer, than the agreed upon Parcels available for pickup. The Carrier will not contact you in these situations. You will need to provide DPD with a new order, after which DPD will assign this new order to a Carrier. Step 6. The Carrier will deliver the Parcel to a DPD depot, where the Parcel Label is then scanned. DPD and you will consider the amount of Parcels scanned at the DPD depot as the amount of Parcels received by the Carrier. This is also the case if the Carrier has signed a waybill which states a different number of Parcels, unless evidence to the contrary is provided. © Copyright DPD (Nederland) B.V. 2015.

DPD Manual Classic-Service / Express-Service 4. How does the delivery of a Parcel through DPD Classic Services work (transportation by road)? Change of address/delivery date? Prior to the first delivery attempt by a Carrier, both the Consignee and you may inform DPD of a new delivery address or delivery date. However, any delay such changes cause shall be for your account. Safety The safety of Carriers is of great concern for DPD. As such, no delivery will be made to premises which have specific (safety) requirements to enter, such as the wearing of protective gear at a construction site and the searching of visitors at prisons. Delivery attempts Consignees aren’t always at home when a Parcel arrives. That is why the Carrier will attempt to deliver a Parcel at least once, and a second or third attempt will also be made to Consignees in the Netherlands, unless DPD chooses a different method for delivery of the Parcel. In case of cross-border carriage, the number of delivery attempts may vary. If a delivery attempt is unsuccessful, then DPD may choose a different method at its sole discretion. You will not receive a refund if a delivery attempt is unsuccessful. Not at home? If during the first delivery attempt no one is found to accept the Parcel at the address of the Consignee, the delivery address may be changed on the initiative of DPD, or at the request of the Consignee or you, to a different address within the Netherlands, such as a Pickup. After the Parcel has been delivered by the Carrier to a Pickup (see paragraph 15 for your options), no further change of address requests can be made. If a delivery attempt is unsuccessful, the Carrier may also deliver the Parcel to one of the neighbouring addresses, after which the Carrier is deemed to have met his obligation to deliver the Parcel. The Carrier will, of course, notify the Consignee of the delivery. Delivery of the Parcel Delivery by the Carrier at the address of the Consignee occurs by issuing the Parcel to any person who has reached the age of majority and is willing to accept the Parcel at the side of a public road or on the premises of the address of the Consignee or at the location designated for the delivery. The Carrier is not under any obligation to determine the age of the recipient and whether the recipient is authorised or competent to receive the Parcel. In the logistics sector it is important that the right documents are signed. As such, you guarantee that the Consignee or any other authorised or competent recipient of a Parcel will provide the Carrier with Proof of Delivery in such a manner the signor is identifiable. Drop off permission Many Consignees authorise DPD to instruct Carriers to deliver Parcels to other locations than the address of the Consignee. The authorisations are for a single delivery or for a duration for two years. You expressly agree that the Parcel – without further notification from DPD – may be delivered to an alternative delivery address provided by the Consignee. © Copyright DPD (Nederland) B.V. 2015.

DPD Manual Classic-Service / Express-Service 5. How does delivery of a Parcel through DPD Express Services / DPD Guarantee (transportation by road) work? Logistics implementations If you require that a Parcel is to be delivered before a certain time, DPD offers the following Express Services. Time Definite Services Option 1. DPD 8:30: delivery before 08.30 (8:30 AM); Option 2. DPD 10:00: delivery before 10:00 (10:00 AM); Option 3. DPD 12:00: delivery before 12:00 (12:00 PM); Option 4.

Delivery within the delivery periods as communicated by DPD (in local time) for DPD GUARANTEE Parcels, depending on the country to which the Parcel is to be delivered. The website www.dpd.nl may be used by you for information regarding destination countries for which these Express / Guarantee Services are available, the exact delivery periods per destination and the postal code areas for which there is no guaranteed delivery period. A workday usually ends at 17:00 (05:00 PM) local time, but may vary per country. If the end of a delivery term ends on a Saturday, Sunday or a nationally recognised public holiday at the destination country, delivery will occur on the next workday. This also applies when the delivery term is extended due to a nationally recognised public holiday in a transit country. Procedure The sending of a Parcel through DPD Express Services / DPD Guarantee (transportation by road) is completed through the following steps: Step 1. If you indicate to DPD that a Parcel must be delivered by way of one of the above options, DPD will provide you DPD 8:30, DPD 10:00, DPD 12:00, DPD 18:00 or DPD GUARANTEE tape. You must inform DPD (in coordination with the local DPD-depot) of the number of Parcels which must be delivered within a specific delivery period and the destination(s) of those Parcels. Step 2. The DPD 8:30, DPD 10:00, DPD 12:00, DPD 18:00 or DPD GUARANTEE tape provided by DPD must be applied by you to all sides of the Parcel in order for the Parcel to be recognised as such a Parcel in order to guarantee the method of delivery. Step 3. For shipments to countries outside of the EU, all necessary customs and export forms must be visibly attached to the Parcel in an export envelope. Step 4. At your request, before the Parcel is offered to DPD, DPD can provide a container for the Parcel for the shipment for Express Parcels with a gross weight up to 500 grams (DPD Premium Envelope) and up to 2,5 kg (DPD Premium Box). While convenient, the use of these containers is not obligated by DPD. Step 5. The delivery term can only be guaranteed if you have notified DPD of these Parcels by 12:00 on the day the Parcels are picked up. © Copyright DPD (Nederland) B.V. 2015.

DPD Manual Classic-Service / Express-Service Step 6. If the Service chosen by you is not available at the postal code area of country of destination, the Parcel will be delivered in accordance with a Service which approximates the chosen Service as closely as possible. Step 7. If the Carrier is unable to deliver the Parcel by way of the chosen option, the following applies: DPD will immediately inform you of the failure to deliver on time by telephone or e-mail, with the reasons for the failure, in order to agree upon a different manner of delivery (pro-active return information). Transit Times cannot be guaranteed for subsequent delivery attempts. Step 8. If a shipment with a DPD 8:30 - DPD 10:00 – DPD 12:00 – DPD 18:00 or DPD GUARANTEE option is not delivered or not delivered on time and this is caused by an act or omission by DPD, then the paid surcharge will be reimbursed. This does not apply if the delivery attempt fails due to an act or omission by the Consignee or by you. © Copyright DPD (Nederland) B.V. 2015.

DPD Manual Classic-Service / Express-Service 6. How does the delivery of a Parcel through DPD Classic Intercontinental / DPD Express (transportation by air) work? DPD Transportation by air If you require a Parcel to be delivered through transportation by air by a Carrier, DPD Classic Intercontinental or DPD Express may be used. DPD Classic Intercontinental and DPD Express are hereinafter referred to as “DPD Transportation by air”. Certain rules apply to DPD Transportation by air for the Carrier en for you. Procedure The sending of a Parcel through DPD Transportation by air is completed through the following steps: Step 1. DPD Transportation by air is not available to you, unless explicitly agreed upon by both you and DPD. Step 2. You must check whether the Parcel conforms to the maximum size and weight as stipulated in Part C of the DPD Manual. Step 3. You must check whether the Parcel may be sent according to applicable Legal Provisions. It is not allowed to send Parcels with forbidden contents, as meant Regulation 300/2008. DPD is allowed to check or have the Parcels checked for safety, more specifically in the case of random security checks. Step 4. You are responsible for the correct and complete completion of the Transit Documents, including customs and export documents. For shipments to countries outside of the EU, all necessary customs and export forms must be visibly attached to the Parcel via an export envelope. If a specific Parcel does not require any customs or export forms, at the very least five copies of the invoice (in English) should be attached. Step 5. Transport will take place in accordance with the delivery period as specified in the delivery period tables available on www.dpd.nl. A Parcel will never be offered a second or third time in case the Consignee is unavailable to accept the Parcel during the first delivery attempt. Step 6. If it becomes apparent that delivery is impossible, for any reason, the return shipment costs will be charged to you. DPD retains the right to have complete control over a Parcel, including the destruction thereof, if a return delivery is not possible, regardless of the reason. ‘Known Consignor’ Your ‘status’ is of importance in air transportation. If you are certified as a “Known Consignor” (as defined in Regulation 300/2008) you guarantee that the Parcels do not contain any items banned from transport and consent that the Parcels may be checked. © Copyright DPD (Nederland) B.V. 2015.

DPD Manual Classic-Service / Express-Service PART C. PARCELS 7. What are the minimum requirements for a Parcel? Packaging requirements / container requirements Parcels are sorted mechanically. As such, any Parcel must withstand a diagonal-fall test from a height of 80 cm and have a pressure resistance of at least 100 kg. Parcels must be packaged tear free and watertight and in such a way the contents cannot move inside of the container. This requires a proper packaging must be used for both the inside and the outside of the container. Only product packaging does not suffice. Furthermore, the Parcel must have tape applied in such a way that it is impossible to open the Parcel without leaving traces thereof and in such a way that it is weather resistant. When the packaging does not meet the minimum requirements If the Parcel, the weight or the circumference of the Parcel does not meet the above requirements, DPD may nevertheless decide to process the Parcel as a Non Conveyable Parcel, in which case an additional fee must be paid. DPD may also decide to return the Parcel in question to you or store it and ask you for instructions. Request for approval DPD Buckets, cans, jerry cans and other goods prone to fracture or break, such as glass, pottery, ceramics, stone, hard plastics, sugar- or chocolate confectionery or cast-iron object must be packaged in a container which has been approved by DPD in advance and in writing. Controls and checks DPD is not a postal Service provider as meant in the Dutch Postal Act 2009 (Postwet 2009). You accept that a Parcel may be opened or inspected at all times by DPD, or thereto authorised legal authorities, including but not limited to customs. Needless to say, DPD will never open a Parcel without justifications. However, it might, for example, occur that the customs authorities conduct a random check or that DPD checks whether a Parcel is damaged or contains prohibited or dangerous goods and/or Chemical Substances. If you are not the owner of the (contents of the) Parcel, you will considered as a representative of the owner as far as the agreement with DPD is considered. If third parties are in any way involved with regards to the contents of the Parcel, you will be considered to be their representative as well. © Copyright DPD (Nederland) B.V. 2015.

DPD Manual Classic-Service / Express-Service 9. Which Parcels are not / cannot be processed? Please take notice! Some Parcels are not transported by the Carriers which DPD contracts for you, because, for example, the Parcel has high risk contents. For that reason you will find a list of Parcels which DPD does not or cannot process below. It is important for you to check whether the Parcel may be transported, as the Carriers are under no obligation to check whether a Parcel is on the list below, although DPD does have to right to examine the Parcel to that end. Which Parcels are not / cannot be processed by DPD? Parcels which meet any of the following criteria: a. Parcel which do not meet the applicable requirements of paragraph 8. b. Parcels which might damage or contaminate other Parcels or materials, due to the (dangerous) nature of the contents, and/or Parcels which are packaged improperly, contain prohibited or Limited Quantities or Chemical Substances and do not meet the requirements of paragraph 10, and Parcels which cannot be stacked onto other Parcels of the same type without a heightened risk of damages, including scratches and dents. c. Parcels which DPD regards unsafe or objectionable to perform Services from an operational point of view. d. Parcels which contain goods with an exceptionally high value, including goods which completely or partly consist of gemstones, precious metals, jewellery, pearls, antiques, art, fur or carpet. e. Parcels which contain money, certificates, diploma’s, documents such as bids for tenders and procurements, securities, stocks or results (coins, banknotes, foreign currency, credit cards, bills of exchange, right of claim to bearer and other rights of claims) or documents which attest to a valuable performance (such as the contract of sale for a house). f. Any Parcel which contains watches, gift and/or value certificates and/or admission tickets, provided the contents exceed a value of € 520. g. Parcels with a Procurement Value which exceeds € 13.000. DPD is liable up to a maximum of € 520 per Parcel under most circumstances (see article 6 of the General Terms and Conditions).

You may also insure the Parcel. h. Parcels the contents or appearance of which violates Legal Provisions. This also applies if the contents exist of separate parts, which, when combined, violate any Legal Provisions. i.
