Buy from Norwegian stores and ship to Germany

Why people use a Cyprus address for this

Norway is outside the EU customs union, so allow for an import entry on arrival as well as the longer transit.

Germany has a large Cypriot and Greek community, and most of what we send there is food and household goods.

A typical Norway to Germany shipment

Say you order cosmetics from Elkjøp, then spot something else at Elkjøp two days later. Both land at your Limassol suite inside 6–11 days. Left as they are, the two retail boxes plus packaging bill as roughly 21.6 kg of volumetric weight on the leg to Germany — because carriers charge for the size of the box, not what is in it.

From there it is 3–6 working days by express or 5–12 working days by post to Germany, plus clearance. Consolidation costs €5 per extra parcel merged in and repacking €6 — on this lane that is usually recovered several times over.

Questions

Can I really buy from Norway and have it delivered in Germany?

Yes. You get a Limassol street address with your own suite number, use it at a Norwegian retailer's checkout, and we forward the parcel on to Germany. The retailer only ever ships domestically or within the EU, which is usually the cheap part.

How long does it take?

Two legs. 6–11 days for the retailer to reach our warehouse, then 3–6 working days by express or 5–12 working days by post to Germany. Customs clearance at the far end sits on top of that.

What does it cost?

Opening the account is free and you pay only when you ship. Cyprus Post's published rate to Germany is €20.00 for a 2 kg parcel and €30.94 by EMS; we show those next to live FedEx rates for your exact weight, add a handling margin, and that is the price.

Will I pay duty in Germany?

Possibly — import duty and taxes are charged by Germany's customs, not by us, and the thresholds change. We show an estimate before you pay rather than guessing. Inside the EU customs union, so no import entry — the constraint is what may travel by air, not what may be imported.

Can I combine several Norwegian orders into one shipment?

That is the part that saves the most money. Carriers bill on volumetric weight, so three half-empty retail boxes can cost far more than one packed properly. Leave the parcels with us and we consolidate them before the onward leg.
