The post number is your personal DHL customer number, which is assigned to you after registering for a DHL customer account. The post number is generated automatically and is directly linked to your customer account, i.e. the number is not transferable. After registering, you can view the post number in your customer account or on your DHL customer card.

You need the post number to receive parcels at a Packstation or a postal outlet. So if you order a parcel to a Packstation or postal outlet, you need to enter your post number in the additional address field of the delivery address when you place your order.

In addition, your post number facilitates the assignment of all other shipments to your customer account, regardless of whether your shipments are sent to a postal outlet or your home address. This way, you will receive a parcel notification and the shipment will automatically appear in your shipment overview and the Post & DHL App.

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:

Example Instructions
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.
