    ])],
    [Contact::create([
    	'ContactType'	=> "01",
    	'Email'			=> 'test@meneer.nl',
    	'SMSNr'			=> '061111111',
    	'TelNr'			=> '061111111'
    ])],
    '01',
    '3085',
    'This is a reference',
    'This is a remark'
);

Note: Watch the Array which needs to be passed in the second and third parameter! Without this it will simply not work!

To get an array of the nearest PostNL locations you can use the following call. You have to pass the CountryCode and PostalCode as parameters.

$locations = PostNLAPI::nearestLocations('NL', '1111AA');
