Netwerk VSP starts next-week delivery of addressed mail
Starting 1 January 2007, TNT will launch a next-week mail delivery service through its subsidiary Netwerk VSP. With this service, intended for delivery within the Netherlands of large volumes of pre-sorted, addressed mail on the basis of next-week delivery, TNT is responding to customer demand for non-time-critical delivery of large volumes of addressed mail at a very competitive price.
Starting a next-week delivery service is an integral part of the company’s strategy for the postal market to achieve greater cost flexibility and offer wider scope for price differentiation, while maintaining margin levels.
Group Managing Director of TNT’s Mail division, Harry Koorstra, says, “Customers are increasingly demanding more flexibility in the price and delivery time for large volumes of addressed mail, like leaflets, brochures and catalogues. We are responding to this market development with a dedicated next-week delivery service. We will be offering this service through our subsidiary Netwerk VSP, a company with a low cost structure and a proven track record in the delivery of large consignments of mail.”
Netwerk VSP Addressed is a new service of Netwerk VSP, a subsidiary of TPG Post. Netwerk VSP is a large distributor of unaddressed mail throughout the Netherlands and has about 22,000 deliverers.
