  • Simply stick it onto the parcel and send it directly.

For letters: 

Buy mobile stamps easily in the Post & DHL app*. Choose the correct postage and pay conveniently online. Write the code displayed with a pen on the envelope or postcard. And you're done!

  • The mobile stamp is available for the following products: Postcard, standard letter, compact letter and large letter

For the dispatch through a Packstation the shipments must be franked in advance and have a minimum size of 15 x 11 x 1 cm or a maximum size of 75 x 60 x 40 cm, respectively. For this purpose, you can use a DHL Paketmarke, a DHL Päckchenmarke or a return label from the sender. You can buy shipping labels at DHL Online Franking, in the DHL parcel app or in the Deutsche Post store. 

For shipping labels purchased online with a QR code or returns with a QR code, you can print the parcel label directly at the Packstation. Stick the label onto the shipment and then insert the shipment into a free compartment.

At Packstations without a printer (except App-controlled Packstations), scan the QR code and insert the parcel without the shipping label. The deliverer will print the label for you when picking up the parcel.

Please note that only shipments which are transported with DHL parcel can be sent via Packstation.

You cannot send the following shipments from a Packstation:

  • Shipments of books or goods
  • Large or maxi letters
  • Express shipments, and
  • Shipments with the service transport insurance

When ordering parcels, always indicate your personal post number and the number of the desired Packstation in addition to your name. Moreover, enter the zip code and the location of the respective Packstation:

Max Mustermann -> Your name
7654321 -> Your post number from your customer account
Packstation 123 -> Packstation with number
12345 Musterdorf -> Zip code and location of the Packstation

Many online retailers provide designated input fields for the post number and Packstation number for deliveries to a Packstation. If this is not the case, simply enter your address as a separate delivery address.

You are not restricted to a specific Packstation, meaning you can freely choose any Packstation for each parcel.

Important: If the full name and the post number do not doubtlessly belong to the same customer account, the delivery person unfortunately cannot place the shipment in the Packstation. This means that delivery to family members using a common post number is not possible.
