RECEIVE YOUR MAIL DIGITALLY FROM NOW ON

Scan mail

We live in a digital world so it’s no surprise that most PriPost customers (over 70%) have their mail scanned by us. After all, it ensures that you are completely location independent and can view your mail anywhere in the world.

Scanning: how it works

As soon as we receive mail for you, we first scan the envelope or we open it immediately to scan the contents. This depends on your wishes. The scan will then be visible in the Inbox of your customer portal.

One of the advantages of scanning is that you have your mail quickly available. We scan several times a week. Another advantage is that you can archive your post digitally and that saves a lot of time and work!

One question we often get is, “What if a debit card comes in for me, how do you deal with it?”

Of course, we can’t scan a debit card, so we’ll forward it to you by mail. And that goes for more items:

badges
PINs
SIM cards
valuable documents such as contracts
Etc.

When a mail item arrives that we cannot scan and/or that we suspect you need the original, we will always forward it to you. You will first receive a notification so that you are informed in advance.

What are the costs?

The cost of scanning is only € 0,55 per page.

In case an envelope contains many pages, only the first 20 pages will be charged. The remaining pages are free.

If desired, we filter out advertising (free of charge) for you, so that you don’t have any costs for that.

Tip: Do you have more than an average amount of mail, for example because you are an administrator? Please contact us, because we can offer you a special reduced rate.

Scan options

Most customers choose to immediately open all mail, scan it and destroy the originals. This is the most economical option because no envelope scan, destruction costs and/or forwarding costs will be charged. In the PriPortal you can easily indicate your preferences and you can change them at any time.

I think it’s a weird idea that mail is opened by strangers

We can imagine that very well. Mail may contain private information that you do not want others to see. PriPost has set up its procedures so that mail is not read by the employees. The scanning is done in an automated process Even the envelopes are opened automatically in 98% of the cases.

In addition, every employee must have a VOG and scan mail is always processed by two employees, so that there is control.
