Nexive Tracking Stickers

Nexive Tracking Stickers

And here I thought it inconvenient that the bottom half-inch of every cover & postcard is reserved for USPS tracking stickers!

It seems that Euro post operator Nexive puts their barcode on the part of the postcard that matters least: not in the address area, not in the message area, not on the image/art side of the postcard, but smack on the stamps.

Very practical



That image is from https://twitter.com/postcrossing/st...216700526592 ... the PostXing Twitter feed

Yes, the twit got it wrong, it was the Nexive delivery arm in Italy that applied the barcode.

IkeyPikey, what is Nexive? When I google it it comes up with lots of Italian websites. It also says it is the Italian TNT - does this mean it is Dutch?

I believe TNT is a private carrier/contractor. It operates in several other European countries, including the U.K. Don't know where it is headquartered.

I collector private post. There seems to be quite a bit of consolidation and reconfiguring with the European mail contractors over the past 10 years or so.

TNT B.V. is a shipping company headquartered in Hoofddorp, the Netherlands. They are now world wide.
I was trying to figure out what Nexive is. The stickers on Ikey's postcards are in orange and blue, which are the official Dutch colors. I can, however, not find a website for Nexive that is not in Italian!

NEXIVE: Started in 1998 under the name of TNT Post Italy thanks to a series of acquisitions of local private companies in the sector, including the historic company Rinaldi L'Espresso, by the parent company TNT Post Group .
In the following years, thanks mainly to the liberalization of the Italian postal market, in the 2000s , the company became the first private operator of the national postal market, second only to the Italian Post Office also considering public companies.
May 26, 2011 officially took place the spin-off from its parent company in the sector of express shipments, which was to form a new independent company TNT Express , followed by the name change of the parent company, keeping the postal activities, PostNL , in turn followed by rebranding general of subsidiaries to release the TNT brand. This process led, in May 2014 , the name change TNT Post Italy in Nexive, with an inspired brand with that of PostNL, the parent company, and with a program that was intended to expand the postal market to the dell 'industry e- commerce .

With a market share of 7.7% on the universal service and to 4% on the other postal services. Nexive is the first private national postal operator, with a network of over 1,000 branches direct, indirect and retail point, giving jobs to over 5,500 employees, that reach 80% of Italian families, works with companies of the sectors banking , insurance , media , the telecommunications , small and medium enterprises and public administration.
