At the beginning of each month, all the parcel labels you have created are collected and billed for the previous month. If a certain invoice amount is exceeded, the parcel labels are also invoiced on the 15th of each month. This is done conveniently and automatically via your existing direct debit. You will find both your invoice and an individual listing of the stamps in the programme under System - [[Account]]. In various cases, there may be additional charges for all shipping service providers. You will also find these separate items on your invoice or under the individual listing of the stamps. The costs are invoiced to us by the shipping service providers and passed on to you 1:1. These include, for example, island surcharges, costs for a change of address or additional charges due to excess weight.

If a surcharge is not apparent to you or has been incorrectly charged, we have outlined below the ways in which you should proceed with each carrier to check for a possible error by the carrier.
The most common recalculations we forward are

===Check your statement===
 
The first step is to call up your Weinbau-online invoice (download under ''System - Account - Invoice'') as a PDF file - this can be searched for amounts and consignment numbers using the keyboard command "Ctrl+F". Then please look up which package it is via the [https://www.ups.com/track?loc=de_DE&requester=WT/ direct UPS tracking]. Under "Show details", then "Shipment status", you can often quickly see why a package has been charged for. Please also take a look at the shipment tracking of Shipcloud, as more detailed information can sometimes be seen here, e.g. in the case of an address correction. You can find this tracking under: ''Post - Parcels - Parcel list''. You can now enter the consignment number in the search field at the top right and then call up the consignment history for this parcel.
 
====Possible recalculations====
 
* Address correction by UPS in case of wrong address
* Undeliverable return due to wrong address
* Address correction by the customer via hotline, without own UPS myChoice account
* Island deliveries/hard to reach areas
* Additional handling
* Maximum permitted weight/permissible girth was exceeded
 
The most frequent recalculations occur when an address is wrong or incorrect or a recipient cannot be found at a given address (no name on the bell plate, etc.). Therefore, it is always advisable to make a thorough check before creating the stamp. It could also be possible at any time that a shipment has been diverted by the recipient or that the recipient has expressed a special delivery request directly to UPS. The shipper may be charged for this. Ask your customer if this was the case.
 
====Unexplainable recalculations====
 
Do you have an additional charge on your invoice that you cannot explain or think is unlawful? In this case, please write us a ticket under ''Help - Tickets - Write ticket''. We will then look into the case and, if necessary, file a claim with UPS.
 
Examples of such additional charges:
* Surcharge for overweight
* Address correction on the part of UPS although the address was definitely correct.
 
== DPD ==
Please also have a look [[Shipping_to_foreign_countries#DPD | on this page]], as the topic of backbilling /differential billing in relation to foreign shipments is also explained here. '''In most cases, backbilling is correct and justified''', even if it is unfortunately not communicated very transparently by the carriers to us and thus also to you.
 
===Check your statement===


To check, call up your Weinbau-online statement (download under ''System - Account - Invoice'') as a PDF - this can be searched practically with the keyboard command "Ctrl+F" - and enter the consignment numbers for which you want to check items in the [https://www.dpd.com/tracking/(lang)/en_DE DPD tracking page].
==UPS==
A list of possible surcharges can be found here: [[File:DPD Nachberechnungen.pdf]], the explanations online [https://www.dpd.com/de/de/support/versandbestimmungen/ directly at DPD]. It is also best to take a look at the shipment tracking of Shipcloud, as more detailed information is sometimes available here, e.g. in the case of an address correction. You can find this shipment tracking under: ''Post - Parcels - Parcel list''. You can now enter the consignment number in the search field at the top right and then call up the consignment history for this parcel.
* Address correction (by UPS, the shipper or the sender)
* Undeliverable return due to incorrect address or the recipient was not found several times
* Island deliveries / areas difficult to access
* Additional handling (for parcels over 25 kg)
* Maximum permissible weight / permissible girth has been exceeded

* Weight corrections
* Returns
* late posting of a consignment (a parcel must be posted within 10 days)


'''Also note:''' Parcels for which you buy a stamp that is ''too small'' (i.e., say, a 10kg/6 stamp for a 30kg parcel) will be subject to additional charges by us to compensate for our additional costs with DPD.
You can find information on DHL surcharges on the [https://www.dhl.de/en/geschaeftskunden/express/produkte-und-services/zuschlaege.html website].

When is and what is charged

We always invoice you for the parcel stamps issued on the first working day and, if applicable, on the 15th of the month (if the invoice amount exceeds EUR 100). For various reasons, all shipping service providers may also charge additional costs for individual shipments. These costs will be invoiced to us and passed on to you 1:1 without prior plausibility check. These include, for example, island surcharges, costs for a change of address or additional charges, e.g. due to excess weight.

The invoice itself and a list of the individual stamps and additional charges can be found in the program under System - Account - Invoice. You should always check these immediately upon receipt. If a surcharge is not clear to you or has been incorrectly invoiced, we have compiled your options below for submitting a complaint to the individual shipping service providers.

Checking the recalculation

If we have added one of the above-mentioned surcharges to a shipment, first check the shipment history.

It is advisable to look at both the tracking from Shipcloud and the original from the respective shipping service provider (can be found as a link in the tracking from Shipcloud or at UPS, DPD or DHL). Please note that address corrections cannot only be made by the shipper. The recipient or UPS can also do this, but the costs are always charged to the sender.

In the case of DPD, the invoice itself provides information on the weighed weight for surcharges due to overweight.
