Is PostNL down, or is it just you?
Multiple independent check rounds from rimetry's monitoring infrastructure, run seconds apart.

| Round 4 | Reachable | 100% | 424 ms |
Based on 364 automated checks in the last 24 hours. Each round is an independent pass over the same endpoint, seconds apart — a single failing round is not an outage; repeated failures across rounds are.

About PostNL
PostNL is the primary postal and parcel service provider in the Netherlands, offering package tracking, shipping label creation, and delivery management. Customers use the website and mobile app to locate pick-up points and track the real-time status of their international and domestic shipments. Failures commonly involve the track-and-trace system becoming unresponsive or the shipping label generation tool returning server errors. During these incidents, the mobile app may fail to send delivery notifications or load barcode information. Rimetry validates the uptime of PostNL's public-facing digital services from multiple locations to confirm if the logistics tracking systems are currently operational.
Problems with PostNL can affect parcel tracking, website, notifications independently.
PostNL (postnl.nl) is a delivery & logistics service monitored continuously by rimetry's automated checks. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds in repeated independent rounds to detect outages and latency spikes the moment they happen.
Right now PostNL is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 84 ms and 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours. Most users connecting to postnl.nl are seeing it work normally.
Common causes of disruption for services like PostNL include backend API failures, region-specific routing problems at the CDN or ISP layer, expired TLS certificates, DNS misconfigurations, and capacity spikes during major events. rimetry combines automated probes, vendor status feeds, and verified community reports to give you a single high-confidence answer instead of guessing.
