Frequently asked questions
What else is there to know about the delivery process besides those mentioned above? PAXI answers the most commonly asked questions by customers.
What happens when a parcel cannot close?
Choosing the correct size PAXI bags is essential to avoid overfilling and parcels that cannot properly seal. The company reserves the right not to accept overfilled bags for quality control. To avoid this, customers must adhere to the 'fill up to here' indicator line on the bags.
What happens when the recipient receives an SMS to collect the parcel but does not know where the collection point is?
If a recipient is unsure where a specific PAXI point is, they can search on the 'store locator' store to confirm what point it was sent to. Enter your unique PAXI point code, and the end it was sent to will be displayed.
What happens when the recipient does not collect their parcel
Any uncollected parcels are returned to the store from which they were sent. The sender is informed of the situation through SMS and confirmation once the parcel arrives at the destination. If it is not collected within 14 days, it is sent to an uncollected parcel facility, where it will be disposed of. Uncollected parcels cannot be claimed once sent here.
PAXI prices in 2024 are affordable, especially compared to other options available. If your parcel is not time-sensitive, PEP's courier options offer cheap delivery options.
