As you can see, the main differences between
UK addresses and the address format for sending a parcel to Germany are:
- (1) Firstly, address your receiver with the correct title, i.e. Herr (Mr), Frau (Mrs, Ms, Miss).
- (2) Secondly, remember to put the house number comes after the street name.
- (3) Thirdly, in Germany the postcode comes before the town or city name.
- Lastly, make sure that your own address as well as the receiver’s address are clearly readable. Writing your address in capital letters is usually good method to ensure that the courier personnel is going to process your order quickly and without any problems.
