As well as sending parcels, baggage and luggage to Germany you could look into the following alternatives for shipping items internationally, especially if you need to send large, bulky items like furniture:

Air Freight to Germany

You could send big bulky items, such as a sofa or armchair, to Germany using air freight. Sending items by air freight usually takes one to two days, but can be quite expensive. How much you pay depends on the weight and size of your shipment. You will probably also have to use the services of a customs agent to handle customs clearance for you. And, you need to get your items to and from the airport. Costs could, therefore, quickly mount up. If you send internationally by air freight to Germany your items will likely arrive at one of the major airports, such as Berlin Airport, Hamburg Airport or Munich Airport.

Sea Freight and Container Shipping to Germany

Instead of air freight, you could choose sea freight or container shipping to transport your possessions to Germany. This is a good option if you don’t need your items immediately. Again, this option is usually used when shipping large bulky items, such as a snooker table or a car. Sea freight usually means shipping items in large containers loaded onto cargo ships. It can be less expensive than air freight, but you will still need to use the services of a customs agent and will need to sort out how to get your items to and from the ports. So, the cost could be more than expected. When using container shipping to Germany your items will most likely arrive by ship at one of the major sea ports in the north, such as Hamburg, Bremen or Bremerhaven.

Shipping Goods to Germany

When shipping goods to Germany you need to be aware of the current customs rules. You should know about any duty that you need to pay and what items are allowed to be shipped to Germany, which items are restricted, and which are entirely prohibited.

If you like to get out and about in the fresh countryside air, then Germany won’t disappoint, with its breath-taking scenery and its Disney-esque castles. There is plenty to see and do, including great walks and hikes, outdoor sports such as mountain climbing and skiing in the winter months. Like much of Europe, the weather in Germany fits the seasons, with cold winters and warm summers.

Many people in the country speak English as it’s a business hub but the main language is German. It’s a great multicultural melting pot of the European Economic zone and, as Germany is part of the EU, its currency is the Euro.

Don’t miss out on the famed Oktoberfest which is held across the country (and the world) every September. Another must see in the winter months is the Christmas markets, full of magical charm, which pop up across the country.
