Package Forwarding Service From Germany to Canada.

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 Canada. To the shop it is an ordinary domestic delivery, which opens up the European retailers that will not ship across the Atlantic.

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

Often not on the duty itself. Under CETA, goods actually made in the EU are duty-free with a statement of origin. What you will almost always pay is tax: Canada’s threshold for parcels from outside North America is just C$20, so 5% GST applies to nearly everything, plus provincial tax where your province charges it.

CETA is the trade agreement between the EU and Canada. It removes customs duty on goods of genuine EU origin, but the seller has to supply a statement of origin on the invoice. German retailers usually do for their own EU-made products; a German shop selling something manufactured in Asia cannot, and the normal tariff applies.

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 and pricing you cannot get at home. If a store will not take your Canadian card, our Buy For Me service can buy the items for you.

Canadian couriers frequently add a customs brokerage fee on top of the duty and tax, and it can rival the shipping cost on a cheap parcel. It varies by carrier and service, so it is worth asking us which option carries the lowest clearance charges for your package rather than only comparing headline rates.

Yes, and on a transatlantic route it is where the savings are. We hold your parcels free for 30 days, then repack them into a single shipment so you pay one air freight charge instead of several — and clear Canadian customs, and any brokerage fee, once rather than repeatedly.

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.

Transatlantic air freight is typically under a week with an express service and longer with economy, plus clearance time at the border. Because this route is quoted per parcel, you will see the services and their delivery estimates before you pay.

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.
