How to send your parcels from a Packstation

Icon Stamp

1. Generate a parcel or returns stamp

You can buy a postage stamp from DHL Online Franking or the Post & DHL App without having to use cash. For a return, you may need to request a returns note from your online retailer.

2. Attach the parcel or returns stamp

If you already have a postage stamp, stick it onto your parcel. Alternatively, you can print the postage stamp out and stick it on.

You can also print out the postage stamp directly at the Packstation, however. With DHL Online Franking, you will always also be sent a QR code via e-mail. You can scan this in at the Packstation. Simply click 'Send' on the screen and hold your mobile phone screen showing the QR code in front of the Packstation's scanner. For returns, you will receive a QR code from the mail order company in many cases.

At Packstations without a printer3, scan the QR code in and insert the parcel without the postage stamp. The delivery agent will print out the postage stamp for you when they collect your parcel.

We are unfortunately currently unable to offer this service with app-controlled Packstations.

3. Inserting the parcel

On the Packstation, select "Send", scan in the shipment number and place the parcel in a suitable compartment.

With app-controlled Packstations without a screen, simply use the Post & DHL App.

Also: By entering your shipment number, you can conveniently check the shipping status of your parcel in the Post & DHL App or at www.dhl.de.

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.

You can update your customer data at any time in your customer account at www.dhl.de. To do this, click on your name in the top right-hand corner and then select "My Data and Services".

You will need your e-mail address and password to change your data.

Important: To change your mobile phone number or e-mail address, you need access to the e-mail address you have previously entered so that you can confirm the change.

Your name has changed?

If your name has changed, we need an official proof of the name change (e.g. a scan of an authenticated document) to update your data. Please use the upload function of our contact form for this purpose.

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.

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.
