The cheapest way to ship to Germany

Courier services that offer the greatest savings for shipping to Germany include economy shipping services with longer transit times and package drop-off services, where you drop off your package at your local Post Office or FedEx drop-off shop.

You can book economy and expedited shipping through Parcel Monkey, with a choice of drop-off and courier collection services.

Here are some examples of our discounted US to Germany courier services:

Economy shipping to Germany

  • EU Parcel also offers cost-effective delivery to Germany, with a greater weight limit than the light packet service (up to 65lbs). Delivery to Germany in 4-14 business days, including tracking.

Express shipping to Germany

  • DHL Express is the fastest way to ship to Germany from the US, with a transit time of 1-2 business days. This is a premium service including full tracking to delivery and a courier collection from your home or work address.

German customs – shipping advice

When you send a package to Germany from the USA you will be required to provide a customs declaration form outlining the contents of your package and the value of the items you’re sending. However, this will be taken care of during the Parcel Monkey booking process, so all you need to do is print the completed customs form and attach it to your package.

German customs will check packages to ensure items have been declared correctly, so please ensure you provide an accurate description and value for your items. See our customs advice for more information on getting your package safely through customs. 

Will I pay customs duty on packages to Germany from the USA? 

Depending on the value of the item you’re sending, your package may incur customs duties, which will need to be paid by the recipient when the package arrives in Germany, so please make sure they are aware of this.

Gifts sent to Germany may be admitted free of duties if the value is under 45 Euros and additional criteria are met. Find out more about duties and taxes for sending a gift to Germany.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Do you offer door to door delivery?

    The Parcel Monkey marketplace uses a shipping calculator to find the best prices for shipping your items door to door via a range of different couriers. 

    With full tracking on almost all of our delivery services, you can follow your package from the moment it leaves you until it arrives with the recipient. We always advise providing the contact number of the recipient so that if needed, the courier can contact them to resolve any issues with the delivery.

    Some of our courier services are delivered to a local Post Office, where the recipient will need to collect the package from such as with DHL eCommerce to some remote areas so it is essential to provide a working contact number. Items shipped with Parcel Monkey are also done so DDU, so it might be that Customs need to collect payment from the recipient before delivery. We offer Customs Advice to help with the completion of any Customs Documents. 

    If you want to know more about what a courier is and how to choose the best service for your package, we can help.

  • Can I add protection cover to my order?

    When you place an order via the Parcel Monkey marketplace, during the booking process you can add protection cover to your item. As long as your item is not prohibited, has been packaged properly and you follow our Claims Procedure, you will be protected should your item be lost or damaged. 

    Some of our services offer no protection cover, but others do and some even offer free cover up to a certain value. You can view this information when you get a price via our shipping calculator. 

    Please ensure that the item is not on the prohibited items list as this will make it void.

    It is also vital to remember your package is going to be sent with global carriers, likely to be handled in various customs and airport departments so be sure to package the item correctly so it is well protected and cannot move around in the box.

  • How long will it take for my package to be delivered?

    Before you choose how to send your package, consider how quickly you need it to arrive. Transit times depend on two key factors- the shipping destination and the courier service you choose from the Parcel Monkey marketplace. 

    When choosing a courier from our marketplace, we will display an estimated delivery time, provided by the couriers themselves as they handle the goods.

    You can see how long it will take to arrive with the receiver and we advise that you share this tracking with the recipient so they can see when it is set to arrive. Always provide the recipient contact number when you book in case the delivery courier needs to contact them. 

    You can choose slower economy services such as DHL eCommerce if looking to save on the cost, or you can choose a speedy Express service that gets the package delivered more quickly like our 2-5 day International Drop Off service provided by FedEx, also available as a Pickup.
