Why Choose World Options For Shipping To Germany?
Delivery times and costs are the two main choices to consider when thinking about sending a parcel to Germany. By using the World Options portal, businesses can explore a range of discounted quotes from the world’s leading carriers, including UPS, FedEx, DHL, and TNT, for the exact service they need.
Whether you’re shipping documents, parcels, pallets or freight, simply input the details of your shipment into the World Options portal and start comparing services based on what you need. If you need support, you can contact your World Options account manager who can provide advice and guidance on a range of matters relating to international shipping.
The World Options service is ideal for those with e-commerce stores, as many German consumers order from UK-based websites in this growing market. You can book orders with multiple carriers and track everything through the same portal, which gives you more control than ever over your order fulfilment process.

Shipping To Germany: Restrictions
As with every country, there are considerations to make before you ship to Germany, and these include whether the items you want to send are forbidden or restricted. Sometimes, these items will be ineligible to be sent to Germany and may result in your shipment being delayed or confiscated. Other items may require additional paperwork or further considerations to be eligible for shipping to Germany.
Among these restricted items are:
-
Lithium batteries
-
Drugs
-
Liquids with an Alcohol volume greater than 82%
-
Multimedia or printed items that contain propaganda
Beyond the restrictions imposed by the German government, there are also limitations that couriers will place on the types of items they are able to ship. More information can be found on the website of each individual courier, or you can contact your World Options account manager for advice tailored to your specific situation
