You can write the destination country in French as well. I'd avoid German on the off-chance that the letter is misdirected and ends up in a third country. English and French are the official languages allowed by the UPU (it used to be only French), hence any country's postal service must be able to read those.

Even if you don't use letters for private reasons, it's important because everything in regard to gouvernment and bureaucracy is usually still processed due to paperwork. Also every contract has to be terminated due to a written letter/form. Just the oral sentence "I quit" isn't sufficient

That app actually is quite new, but there was a way to pay your postage fee using your phone before (since 2008). Until end of last year you could sent a text message and receive the porto code as a response. (The fee was put on your phone bill). I mostly used it when sending in the occasional sick note, using the company phone. (They wanted it in paper, they can pay for it). BTW: If you have a printer, and choose that option when buying the stamp, the app also allows you to type in the adresses (yours and the receipients), so don't need to bother where to put them on the envelope ;-).

Hi Yvonne, I am finding strange that when I receive a letter from bank, town hall....there is not postmark so we cannot see when the letter was sent or arrived. I think it is very important for legal purposes! So how Germans can prove when they receive a letter and when a letter was sent?
@simplegermany
@simplegermany 2 жыл бұрын
Hey Sophie, usually all letters get stamped. They might not have an actual physical stamp on it but rather a printed one, which shows the date. Usually, you should check your mailbox every day and the day you receive the letter in the mailbox counts as the legal day. In legal offices, often the letters get a date print with the date of arrival to know when it actually arrived. If you have sensitive documents you can also send or receive the letters as 'Einschreiben' where you have to sign for the letter and thus document when you received it. Hope this helps 😊

@simplegermany
@simplegermany 3 жыл бұрын
Glad you found an apartment in Dusseldorf! I hope your new neighbours were cool about it 😉. In our experience, we have asked the landlord or the superintendent to take care of that. So I would recommend to contact your landlord first and ask about it. What other people do is to buy a sticker, write their name on it, and place it on top of the plastic covers for the door bell and letter box. You can find these stickers in any DHL store. You should check with your landlord if this is allowed though, as sometimes they require that all letterboxes look the same. Also, if you want to have another try at it, I found this KZbin video that shows how one can change the paper: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZ7YZI2PmNGIlbc. The video is in German, but it's pretty self explanatory :D.

I ordered a translation from Lingoking and I had one delivered no problem and I had another letter send via DHL from my mom in the states with my birth certificate. I received the DHL letter but not the translation from Lingoking. The Deutsche Post/ DHL said that it would be sent back to the sender? You may not have an answer, but why would I receive the other letters and not this one? My mail box was not full. I don't understand. Do I just wait, will they attempt delivery again, because it says they returned it to the sender (lingoking)

When I was a kid in the 90's I had a German penpal (I live in the U.S.), and I had to put "luftpost" on my envelope. It went somewhere below the return address. She always had it on her envelopes as well. Is that still necessary for international mail?
@simplegermany
@simplegermany 3 жыл бұрын
Yes, it is still used 🙂. Writing Airmail or Luftpost is equivalent to writing Priority on an envelope. This will hopefully expedite the delivery of the mail. According to the Deutsche Post: "If you would like to send your letter by airmail, a corresponding note must be clearly handwritten or printed on the shipment or, better still, the blue priority sticker must be used. This is the only way to ensure that your consignments are also "prioritized" abroad, ie by the fastest route. If you would like to send your letter by land or sea using the slower method of transport (only possible with DIALOGPOST INTERNATIONAL and PRESSE INTERNATIONAL), please do not use a priority sticker." (Source: bit.ly/3rALUpC). Hope that helps!

What do you mean that the stamp should be printed? So you could either glue a regular physical stamp on the letter, use the new #code which we explain in the video, where you write the code on the envelope by hand, or have the postage printed on the envelope directly at the post office. Hope this helps 😊

​@@simplegermany I bought with the help of the DHL application, as in the video a mobile stamp that I wrote on the envelope with a pen by hand and then I put it in the mailbox, but because I didn't receive an answer (for 4 weeks) I looked for an explanation. So I went to the welcome center in Stuttgart and from there I was already told twice that I had to print the stamp and send it with the envelope. It is a very important letter and I am still waiting for an answer, but I think I will try and send another one. The recipient on the envelope was already printed on the envelope and I wrote my address but I did not receive the letter back At this point, I am very confused.

We totally understand your confusion. The app # code should work, we have used it before and it is an official service from the Deutsche Post. The only other advise we can give, is to send the letter with tracking, as we also explain in the video or in our guide: www.simplegermany.com/how-to-send-a-letter-in-germany/. This way you will know when the letter arrived. Best you go to a post office and ask them to send it with tracking. Keep the tracking code and you can follow the status of the letter online. Hope this helps!

what if everyone in your house doesnt have the same last name? just use the c/o ?

Hey Miranda, ideally you get both names on the letter box in case you live with a partner. For a WG (shared flat) it is common to put the name of the main tenant (the one on the rental contract and mail box) as c/o. Hope that helps! 😊

Yes they do, however the labeling and stamping differs from country to country 😉

Living in Germany for a month now and need to send a letter…where the heck is my nearest post box!?

I guess after watching this video it doesn’t tell me where to find one. The Deutsche Post has a locator, but I still don’t see it. Is it in a store, maybe?

Mmh they are usually on the street. If not look for your nearest post office?

Hi, can we mention our phone number at the end of the sender's address???

Usually you don’t put the phone number with the senders address on the envelope.

Wie geht man receive Amazon Packages?
@simplegermany
@simplegermany 2 жыл бұрын
Amazon packages get delivered to your door. So the easiest is to be home, when the door rings and receive the package in person. If you are not there, you will find a note in your mailbox telling you at which post office you can pick up the package the next day.

What happens if you accidentally put the envelope in the local mailbox instead of the international mailbox?

We believe it should still arrive, it might just take longer as it will go into a different bucket first.

Nope. The location of the addresses on the letter already tells you who it is from and who it is for 😊
