Package Forwarding Service From Germany to Australia.

You get a real German address at our Frankfurt warehouse, use it at checkout in any German or EU store, and we forward the package on to your address in Australia. To the shop it is an ordinary domestic delivery, which opens up the European retailers that will not ship this far.

Yes. Forwarding is a completely normal, legal service used by millions of shoppers, and your package is declared to Australian customs like any other import. As with any provider, check independent reviews rather than relying on a company’s own claims.

Usually not. Packages worth A$1,000 or less — about €600 — clear without customs duty or border charges, and that covers most ordinary orders. Above A$1,000 the Border Force collects duty (commonly 5%, 0% on most computing gear), 10% GST and an import processing charge.

The German address itself is free, with no subscription, and storage is free for the first 30 days. Shipping on this route is quoted per parcel rather than from a fixed table, because the price depends on weight, size and the service you choose — sign up and we will quote your actual package.

Any store that delivers within Germany: Amazon.de, Zalando, OTTO, MediaMarkt, Douglas, Breuninger and thousands more, often with European stock, sizing and pricing you cannot get locally. If a store will not take your Australian card, our Buy For Me service can buy the items for you.

Yes, and on the longest route we run it matters most. Air freight to Australia is the dominant cost, so paying it once instead of several times saves far more than any duty you might avoid by splitting — and only the amount above A$1,000 attracts charges at all. We hold parcels free for 30 days.

German shops charge 19% VAT at checkout. Goods genuinely exported outside the EU can be zero-rated, but the refund is the retailer’s to give and most online shops do not operate a scheme for forwarded orders. Treat the VAT you pay at checkout as part of the price unless the store says otherwise.

It is a long-haul route, so allow more time than a European delivery: typically under a fortnight with an express service and longer with economy air. Because this route is quoted per parcel, you will see the services and their delivery estimates before you pay.

Not one in force. Negotiations between the EU and Australia have not concluded, so there is no preferential rate for EU-made goods the way CETA gives one in Canada. In practice it rarely matters, because duty only starts above A$1,000.

The usual air freight restrictions apply, and Australia is stricter than most on biosecurity: no food, seeds, plant or animal products, alongside the normal bans on batteries outside their device, aerosols and flammable liquids. If you are unsure about an item, ask us before you buy it.

Plenty of German retailers only accept EU-issued cards or want a German billing address. Our Buy For Me service solves that: tell us what you want, we purchase it on your behalf with our own local payment details, then forward it to you like any other order.
