Montonio collaborates together with Latvian Post to offer competitive parcel machine pricing to even small merchants, so that everyone has a fair chance at offering affordable shipping to their customers.
How does it work?
When opting for this version, you will not have a signed contract with Latvian Post to handle your packages. Montonio offers you pricing, sends you the invoice, and helps with parcel-related issues, while Latvian Post still delivers the packages.
1. Go to the Home page from the left-hand menu --> Choose the store from the drop-down menu.
2. Scroll to the bottom of the page. Click Activate near Shipping.
3. Find Latvian Post by Montonio and click Activate.
4. You can see the prices that will apply to sending and returning parcels.
5. Choose the default locker size.
6. Enable SMS returns if needed.
7. Click on Activate and you'll be ready to send out parcels.
If you haven't already, then also add Latvian Post parcel machines to your checkout. Read more about how to do it here.
You can carry on your shipping processes the same way as you have.
At the beginning of the next month, you will get an invoice from Montonio for the cost of the shipments.
Important! If you have been using a direct business contract with Latvian Post*, you may receive two invoices for the delivery service during the transition period, both from Latvian Post and from Montonio.
This may happen if you have been using your direct business contract for the first half of the month, and then, after activating the Montonio x Latvian Post contract, you have been using Montonio's solution for the rest of the month. Please pay both bills. In the future, only one invoice will be issued from Montonio for the delivery service.
Default locker size
By default the locker size is XS, but you can easily change it in the settings based on your needs.
The default locker size is only necessary when sending cross-baltic as Latvian Post collaborates with Unisend to offer better coverage.
Availability
Montonio x Latvian Post is currently available only for parcel machines in the Baltics.
We support sending domestic packages within Latvia and cross-border packages from Latvia to Estonia and Lithuania.
