Abstract: A goods carrier (1) which can be fitted to a generally vertical post (2) which supports, for instance, a sunshade or umbrella. The carrier (1) includes a generally radial, open slot (7) whose width corresponds to the diameter of the post, wherein the bottom region (8) of the slot (7) through which the post (2) extends when the carrier (1) is fitted to the post widens axially so as to be broader at the bottom than at the top, when seen in the axial direction of the post (2). Fitted to the post (2) is a holder body (9) whose outer surface is configured to receive the bottom region (8) and to support the carrier (1) on the post (2).
