How much does it cost to ship to Germany?

It depends on the weight, the dimensions and the service. Couriers charge on whichever is higher, the actual weight or the volumetric weight, so a big but light box of clothes can cost more than you'd expect. Enter your parcel details and you'll see the final prices straight away.

How many days does delivery to Germany take?

It depends on the service and the destination. The comparison shows the estimated time for each option before you book. There's no customs for Germany, but local state holidays and December make a difference. Delivery times are estimates, not guarantees.

Can the courier collect from my address?

Yes. The courier collects from your home, office or warehouse on the pickup day you choose when booking. All you need to do is have the parcel well packed.

How do I track my shipment?

You track it with the number you receive once your booking is complete. It shows every stage of the route up to delivery in Germany, and the recipient may get a text or email notification.

Which courier should I choose for Germany?

It depends on whether price or speed matters more. For Germany you'll see DHL, UPS and FedEx, each with a price and an estimated time. For a family parcel with no rush, choose on price. For samples a customer in Frankfurt needs by a deadline, go for the shortest estimate.

Are the prices I see final?

Yes, as long as weight and dimensions are declared correctly. Germany is in the EU, so there are no import duties, VAT or customs charges for the recipient. Weigh and measure the parcel once it's sealed so the price is right from the start.

Sending a parcel from Greece to Germany

Since the 1960s, when Greek migrants went to work in the factories of Stuttgart, Munich and the Rhineland, Germany has had a large Greek community. That's why sending a parcel to Germany often means olive oil, cheese and sweets for the family. But also samples, online shop orders and spare parts. And the other way round: products from German suppliers heading to Greek businesses.

On City Sender you see DHL, UPS and FedEx side by side, with the final price and estimated delivery time before you book. Public holidays differ from state to state, and December is the busiest month of the year for couriers.

Germany is in the EU, so your parcel travels without customs and with no import duties or VAT.

Useful information

Main cities: Berlin, Munich, Hamburg, Frankfurt, Cologne, Stuttgart and Düsseldorf.
The postcode (PLZ) has 5 digits and goes before the city, e.g. 10115 Berlin.
The recipient's name must match the doorbell or mailbox, or delivery may fail.
Intra-EU shipment: no customs, no import duties or VAT. Exception: Heligoland and Büsingen are outside the EU tax area.
Public holidays vary by state. 3 October and Christmas apply everywhere.
