Kompaktbriefsendung

Kompaktbriefsendung is a type of postal service that involves sending compact, light-weight correspondence items such as letters, postcards, and packages through a postal system. In Germany, where it is most commonly used, Kompaktbriefsendung is a statistically-based rate structure, which categorizes and calculates shipping costs based on the compactness, weight, and dimension of the items being sent.

For a shipment to be classified as Kompaktbriefsendung, it must meet specific weight and dimension requirements set forth by the postal service. These requirements can change over time and are regulated by the Deutsche Post, which is the national postal service of Germany. Qualified packages are then assessed a lower shipping rate compared to standard packages.

Aerobic generally involves sending small, flat items under about 2 kg in weight and around 30 cm in each dimension. Standard parcel send the opposite or any item oversized to be sent by the standard parcel rates of a specific postal service. Shipping packages qualifying as Kompaktbriefsendung is a highly sought after goal as it significantly reduces the cost of sending items. Many shippers also have specific handling requirements for these items which involve ensuring they are stratified for a prescribed treatment, encasing fragile items to prevent breakage, and securing packages to prevent crushing.

The main goal of Kompaktbriefsendung is to allow for efficient and cost-effective shipping of compact correspondence items for individuals and businesses alike. As postal rates rise on more standard sized shipping, shippers, companies, and individuals increasingly ship with the Kompakt stats due to pay a lower rate.
