verzendmelding

Verzendmelding is a term in logistics and e-commerce that denotes a notification sent to a recipient to inform that an order has been dispatched. The message is typically generated automatically by the seller's order management system or by the carrier when the shipment leaves the warehouse.

A verzendmelding usually contains key details such as the order number, recipient name and address, the carrier and service level, the assigned tracking number, and an estimated delivery date. For international shipments it may include export/import information and a link to a tracking page. The notification is delivered via email, SMS, a push notification, or presented in an order-tracking portal.

The primary purpose is to provide transparency about the shipment, enable tracking, and reduce customer inquiries. It also supports logistics planning and customer service by allowing proactive follow-up if delays occur.

In practice, verzendmeldingen are part of standard fulfillment workflows used by retailers, marketplaces, and logistics providers. The term is used in Dutch-language commerce and is often translated as shipping notice or dispatch notification in English.
