Fees

The fee or Porto (plural: postage or postage ; originally from lat. : Porto "I Wear", taken from the Italian ) is the price of the service. In public post operators, the term postal rates used. These fees are paid by buying and sticking postage stamps , by printing them with special stamp machines or by electronic “postage stamps”. This process was known as franking or franking .

The largest German provider of postal services, Deutsche Post AG, is also the provider of a nationwide universal postal service in accordance with the Universal Postal Service Ordinance. The prices for letters have been kept constant since January 1, 2016, but were increased on July 1, 2019 with the approval of the Federal Network Agency. Since the prices were lower in European comparison, the tariffs were increased. This should make the mail transport more profitable for the postal company.

Additional services

There are fee reductions for book shipments, goods shipments, goods mail and dialogue post as well as press mail (postal sales item , wrapper newspaper, press broadcast). In addition, major customers are granted discounts on the prices shown. For other postal providers, partial services are offered that are also cheaper.

In terms of formats and prices, private German postal providers usually orient themselves towards the tariffs of Deutsche Post, although they usually undercut them slightly. The sizes of the formats are based on the rules of the international postal union.

Additional postage

Postage Due , also demand or excess postage (Deutsche Post as Nachentgelt called): If a transmission from the sender was not sufficient postage, calls for the Post the difference plus a penalty surcharge from the receiver one. If postage stamps were used for this, one speaks generally of penalty postage stamps, postage stamps or simply postage stamps.

Forms of shipment

There are different ways of handling mail ( called a form of dispatch in Germany ). These can differ in terms of security and speed.

The postal companies charge an increased fee for the transport, which varies depending on the particular form of dispatch. The form of shipment requires a certain type of shipment .

addressing

Correct addressing of a mail item is a prerequisite for short mail delivery times. A machine-readable address enables a high degree of automation in the mail flow. This includes machine-readable writing, a fixed form of recipient information and compliance with different zones on the address side.

A pre-order is a note in the address field of a mail item above the recipient address, which specifies the handling of the item if it is undeliverable.

Weiterfranko referred to that portion of the paid postage that was due to a foreign post office before the Universal Postal Union (1875).
