Drop off permission

Drop-off permission - receive parcels at any time

You are unable to be at home during common delivery times, but still want to ensure that your parcels are delivered straight away? No problem: give us a drop-off authorization and define your personal drop-off location. Whether it is the garage, the tool shed or the patio - your delivery person will leave your parcel at the given place for you.

Issue a drop-off permission

Issuing a drop-off permission is probably the most convenient contactless delivery option for recipients.

Simply choose between a one-time drop-off permission for a single parcel or give us a permanent drop-off permission for all future shipments and we will drop off the parcels at the chosen location.

This means you will be completely independent of delivery dates and times and still will have your parcel with you at no extra cost.

Here are the advantages at a glance:

Permanent drop-off permission

You receive your parcels reliably at all times, even when you are not at home.

You can easily change the desired location or revoke the authorization at any time.
