Product information

Description

Responsible Shipping: This type of non-urgent shipping is more environmentally sustainable because it allows delivery routes to be optimised during transportation, which helps reduce emissions and is also more socially sustainable because it is managed by a public Spanish company operating throughout the country that is committed to stable, quality employment for all its professionals. 

Paq Standard Correos is the ideal choice for your non-urgent shipments, with delivery periods between 48 and 72 hours, depending on the origin and destination:

  • This type of non-urgent shipment enables us to optimise delivery routes by waiting until the vehicle is full, helping to reduce emissions. Not everything is urgent, but looking after the planet is. So we’d like to thank you for your commitment to the responsible use of parcel services.
  • With guarantees: two attempts at home delivery with a signature and in a guaranteed period. We also offer delivery to Correos Post Offices or  Citypaq lockers. If delivery cannot be made, we will leave a notification in the postbox stating the Post Office where it can be collected within 15 days. If we do not meet the deadline, we will refund the charge paid.
  • Includes Modify: easily modify the delivery details for your shipment from a computer or mobile phone and adjust it as needed in real time. You can also choose whether the recipient can make changes and what modifications they can make. This option is available for all national parcel shipments with home delivery.
  • For your peace of mind: know where your parcel is at all times, with arrival notification via the Correos app, e-mail and/or SMS to the recipients. 
  • Close to you: for Spain, Andorra and mainland Portugal deliveries.

Information about volumetric weight

The volumetric weight is the weight of a package, but taking its dimensions into account. To calculate our charges, transport companies usually use this measure instead of the real weight, because transporting a 1 kg bulky object is not the same as transporting a 1 kg small object, even though the weight is the same.

Correos applies the weight/volume criterion up to 167kg/m3 at the time the package is received, using the following formula: length x height x width in cm / 6,000.
