METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE AUTOMATED PROCESSING OF PARCELS WHICH ARE OFFERED FOR DISPATCH

摘要

Method and device for the automated processing of parcels which are offered for dispatch. On the basis of the distance across which the parcel must be sent and the volume and/or the weight thereof, the freight charge is determined in a device which is suitable therefor. After receipt of the amount concerned the details are printed on a sticker, and this is applied to the parcel, either in the device or by hand by the offerer. All this is checked, the offerer receives a proof of receipt and thereafter the parcel is further processed via the device, for example by being dispatched. The method and the device therefore provide an integrated parcel processing.
