How can I cheaply have a small item sent from Germany to Spain remotely?
EDIT.- SOLVED! THANK YOU!
Hi everyone,
I’m currently in Spain and recently stayed at a hotel in Germany. Unfortunately, I left a small personal item (bracelet) in my hotel room, and the hotel has confirmed that they still have it.
The item weighs only around 50 grams, so it should be very easy and inexpensive to send.
The problem is that I’m already back in Spain, and I’m trying to find the cheapest and easiest way to arrange the return without making the hotel go through too much hassle (as they don't seem to want to anyway).
One option I was thinking about is using Deutsche Post. For example, could I:
- Buy the postage/stamps or a prepaid shipping label online from Spain.
- Send the postage/label and an envelope to the hotel.
- Ask the hotel simply to put the item in the envelope, attach the postage/label, and drop it into a Deutsche Post mailbox.
Would something like this work in Germany?
Alternatively, is there another (inexpensive) service or method used for a similar situation?
I’m happy to pay the postage in advance. I’m mainly looking for a solution where the hotel doesn't have to pay anything or arrange complicated shipping.
Any advice from people familiar with Deutsche Post, DHL, or sending small items internationally from Germany would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
