Dutch term

buszendingen

Dutch to English Other Transport / Transportation / Shipping postbezorging
Dit heeft te maken met postbezorging. Er wordt een contract afgesloten voor het bezorgen van grote hoeveelheden post van een bedrijf en hierop zijn van toepassing de algemene voorwaarden voor het vervoer van partijen buszendingen. Ik heb het gevoel dat het zendingen zijn die bij mensen in hun brievenbus terecht komen, maar hoor graag de mening van anderen.

letterbox items

Hi Willemina,

'Buszendingen' are items that fit through a standard TPG-approved letterbox (265 mm x 32 mm), i.e. 'letterbox items'. Items that don't fit through the standard letterbox are called 'belstukken'. I think these terms are pretty unique to TPG, because - as far as I can remember - other posts only distinguish between letters, large envelopes and parcels.

De Algemene Voorwaarden voor het Vervoer van Partijen Buszendingen do exist in English, but I can't remember what the exact English title is. You should be able to get hold of the English title by phoning the translation department of TPG Post in The Hague. The number of the switchboard is +31 70 334 3434, then ask for Vertaalservices.
