Shipping carrier
DHL is our primary carrier partner for Forwarded shipments. We've presented at DHL Innovation Centers in Bonn and Chicago. DHL labels are generated automatically; your consumer downloads and prints directly.

We don't work in isolation.
Forwarding is embedded in the logistics, return portal, and investment infrastructure that fashion webshops already use. Our partners make enterprise adoption straightforward.
Logistics & shipping
Forwarding generates the shipping label. We work with the carriers your customers already know.
PostNL

PostNL is our second carrier partner, covering domestic Netherlands shipments. Label generation is fully automated, with the same consumer experience as DHL.
