Postfrakt

Postfrakt is a term used in Nordic retail and online marketplaces to indicate that the seller covers the postage and freight costs for shipping the item to the buyer. The word combines post (mail) and frakt (freight) and is equivalent to the English phrases “shipping included” or “postage paid.” In a listing, postfrakt means the price shown includes delivery, so the buyer is not charged separately for postage.

Usage and scope: The term is common in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark in classifieds, catalogs, and e-commerce platforms. Coverage varies: some sellers cover standard domestic shipping, while others apply postfrakt within a defined region or up to a weight or size limit. The inclusion of insurance, tracking, or signature on delivery may differ; these services can be included or offered as add-ons that incur extra charges.

Considerations for buyers and sellers: Always check delivery terms in the listing. Postfrakt does not guarantee the item is free of cost, only that shipping is included in the price. International shipments labeled postfrakt may involve additional duties, taxes, or import restrictions. Returns can affect who pays for return shipping, and conditions may vary.

Related terms: porto fri or fraktfri are Scandinavian equivalents; in other languages, “free shipping” conveys a similar concept. In practice, postfrakt is a sales condition describing who bears shipping costs rather than a standardized shipping rule.
