Temporary address in Germany

Upvote:4

Close to the German-Swiss border, there are plenty of those services (Google for "lieferadresse deutschland"). They are designed for Swiss customers who order stuff in the EU and can have it delivered to a EU-adress, which is faster and cheaper. You usually get an email when something has arrived, and you pay a few euros per parcel/letter.

In Berlin, without any non-EU country in the vicinity, there aren't that many. I found one here and also here - no prices given unfortunately.

For letters (but not always parcels), you can also use general delivery. In Germany, it's called β€œPostlagernd”.

You don't need to do any paperwork beforehand but you need to check that a given post office offers this service and find the correct postal code using this website. You will then have the person sending you mail use the following address:

[Your name]
Postlagernd
[Postal Code] [City]

Letters from Germany are kept for 14 days, letters from abroad for one month.
