If orders have not arrived after 8 business days from the shipping date, an investigation needs to be opened with Deutsche Post. We find once this process has started, orders tend to arrive after a few days or are returned to us – at which point we can send them back out again. Deutsche Post store undelivered post until this process is completed.
Please get in touch with us after 8 business days to let us know your order hasn’t arrived. We can assist and send you a “proof of postage” picture to show your order before it was sent out, with the shipping label on it. This shipping label shows the date of postage, your unique shipping code and can be used as evidence for the investigation.
Deutsche Post domestic lost mail investigation form.
HOW TO FILL IT OUT:
The Deutsche Post shipping label contains all the information you need for the investigation,
Make especial note of the Price, as depending on if your parcel was tracked (Einschreiben) as indicated by the big “R” and the sentence “Einschreiben Einwurf” on your shipping label) this will be a combined price of: Shipment type + Tracked costs (+€2.35).In which case you need to calculate backwards to get to the price of the Shipment type, it’s quite simple just subtract €2.35 (the current price for Tracked) from the price listed on the shipment label. For example: If the price reads €3.30 then subtract €2.35 from this to get €0.95, the price of a Standard Letter (you can find these prices listed below under Shipment Type or for an always accurate listing see Deutsche post).
On the Deutsche Post domestic lost mail investigation form please select the following:
- Shipment Not Delivered (Sendung nicht zugestellt)
- National Mail (National)
- Depending if you order was untracked or tracked choose one of the following:
- Untracked order = Letter (Brief, Warensendung, Postkarte)
