Ship US Packages to Germany

Getting popular items from US brands like Apple, Nike, Levi’s, Yeti, Ulta, Amazon, and more is harder when living in Germany. Without a US shipping address, those purchases fail to pass checkout verification.

Having a home in Berlin, Hamburg, Munich, Cologne, or Stuttgart shouldn’t restrict access to some of the most well-known American brands. The problem is that some US retailers won’t ship clothing, lifestyle products, tech gadgets, and specialty goods outside the country.

Many times, that shipping restriction is due to complex supply chains, profit concerns, local brand deals, or tariff and legal issues. With a valid US shipping address, German buyers have a reliable workaround to shop for many eligible items from US retailers and have them sent safely to local German addresses.

How It Works

The simplest way for German buyers to shop for all the US products and brands they want is to secure a US shipping address from PostFromUS..

Create a US Shipping Account:

Sign up for an account, enter your German information, and receive a free US shipping address that can be used in most US brand checkouts.

Shop Online:

Shop all the brands and retailers you may want and use your new US shipping address to use your US shipping address at checkout.

We Receive Items:

Popular brands like Target and Trader Joe’s will then ship your purchased products to your US shipping address, where they’re logged into your account.

You Choose Shipping/Pay:

Select the specific shipping speed and handling options you’d like to forward US products to your German home, work, or other address.

We Ship to all Bundesländer :

Your items are then forwarded to your home in any of the 16 federal states, from Berlin to Hamburg to Rhineland-Pfalz.

Shipping Expectations

It’s important to note that shipping US-based items to any state in Germany involves many steps. The US retailer may have specific processing and shipping speeds to get the item to your domestic US shipping address.

Once it is received via PostFromUS, you select the specific speed and delivery options for sending the items to Germany. That may include “express” shipping, which sends items fast, or “economy” if you are in no rush. Different routing expectations are based on carrier availability. Use the shipping calculator for initial expectations.

When US products cross into German Customs Administration (Zoll) control areas, they may be subject to additional processing time. The total US-to-Germany delivery timeline depends on verifying documentation, inspecting the item, and considering any local restrictions. You can track that process in your account with real-time updates.
