A package from US to GERMANY..when will it get there?

Question

I live in Pennsylvania, USA and I'm planning to send a package to Berlin, Germany but I would love to know how many days is it going to take to get there? ANYONE KNOW??? Please help...

Answer 1

Depends how you ship it.  Call the post office, the Ups and Fedex guys and ask.

Answer 2

Indeed it largely depends on how you send it - by courier, by airmail, or by surface mail.  Of course the costs are also vastly difference, so you pay more for a quicker shipment

Also take into account that the shipping companies will give a guideline because they cannot give a guarantee. If it is a parcel of 'interest' to customs (e.g. something like a electronic item or tobacco etc) then customs may well hold the item and requirement duty to be paid for importing it.

I currently am in this situation for a parcel posted from a friend in the US in July, and am in a lovely paperwork filling-in discussion with the post service here in the Netherlands - so I'm speaking from experience!

So look on the net for the different options and costs for the one that you want, and then hope for the best ;0)
