Shipping Guide API – Shipping Guide API - Home mailbox parcel (3584) & Home mailbox parcel RFID (3570) – Change of default fallback delivery
21 January 2026 Important
From 26.01.2026, the default fallback behaviour for Home mailbox parcel will change.
If the shipment does not fit in the recipient’s mailbox, the parcel will by default be left outside the recipient’s door.
Previously, the default fallback was delivery to pickup point.
What this means for you
VAS 1081 (Delivery outside the door) is no longer required in the request.
Recipients can still change delivery preferences in the Posten app.

Important Update! New TLS certificates on api.bring.com 27th of October 2025
26 September 2025General
Migration from Buypass to Let’s Encrypt TLS Certificates As of 15 September 2025, Buypass has stopped allowing registration of new ACME Account and will stop generating/renewing TLS certificates from 15th October 2025. To ensure continuity, we are migrating all TLS certificates from Buypass to Let´s Encrypt.
As part of this activity:
- Old Buypass certificates will be removed
- New Let´s Encrypt certificates will be created
Impact to Customers:
- If your application does not pin the certificate, no action is required and there will be zero impact.
- If your application does pin the certificate, you will need to download the new Let´s Encrypt certificate and update your application configuration accordingly.
We recommend reviewing your applications to check whether certificate pinning is in place and preparing for updates if needed.
For more queries, contact integrasjon.norge@bring.com (Norway) or edi@bring.com (outside Norway).

For those not currently using these fields, we recommend utilize them to optimize your checkout. In the API, text related to delivery option will reflect the latest changes and ensuring that your customers receive accurate information about each delivery option.

Lead time does not only depend on the recipient’s postal code, but also the address itself.
For example, two different addresses on the same postal code can have different lead time. We have therefore added an addressLine field, which allows lead time to be calculated based on both postal code and street address. For this to work, it is important that recipients fill out a valid street address.
By using our Address API, the address the recipients fill inn can be pre-validated, which will ensure more accurate lead times.We therefore recommend using the Address API in combination with Shipping Guide API.
There are several services that are affected by this new field: 1000, 1988, 3500, 5000, 1736, 5600, 0330, 0332, 0349, 3570, 3584
