Shipping to Potsdam and Brandenburg
Potsdam, the capital of Brandenburg, borders Berlin to the south-west and is famous for the palaces and gardens of Sanssouci. Many people working in Berlin live here, and its universities and research institutes attract international staff.
Potsdam has the same rate as Berlin, so choose it if the consignee lives in Potsdam, Werder, Teltow, Kleinmachnow or western Brandenburg, to avoid crossing the capital to collect the cargo.
Potsdam's film studios in Babelsberg and its research institutes attract international professionals. The city's historic centre has restricted access for large vehicles, so collect your cargo at the terminal and use a van for the last leg. Customs clearance requires the passport, inventory and registration certificate.
Many families settle in Potsdam for its parks and lakes while working in Berlin; the commuter roads into Berlin are busy, so collect outside peak hours. The Hasso Plattner Institute and the University of Potsdam bring international students and researchers to the city as well.
