From now on, parcels can be picked up particularly easily at the Packstation of Deutsche Post and DHL.

All you need is a smartphone.

Bonn - Anyone who wants to pick up a package at one of the Deutsche Post and DHL packing stations will only need a smartphone in the future.

The little-loved DHL customer card is a thing of the past, and using the yellow pick-up stations will be easier and more convenient.

All parcels addressed directly to the packing stations are affected.

Update the app from Deutsche Post and DHL

The prerequisite for this is the Deutsche Post and DHL app for Android or iOS.

In contrast to other applications such as WhatsApp, this should run on all smartphones.

To do this, customers have to update them and update their smartphone once.

You can also use the app to find all information from Post and DHL.

If a parcel is ready to be picked up at one of the packing stations, all that needs to be done is to scan the new pick-up code from the respective smartphone.

This was announced by Deutsche Post and DHL in a message. Incidentally, forms of delivery such as the DHL “Paketkopter” are off the table.

How to pick up a package at the Post and DHL Packstation

Once you have installed the app, you have to log into the Post and DHL customer account with your post number or email address and password.

Then the “Packstation” area only needs to be activated by SMS by pressing the “Activate” button.

As always, beware of fake SMS.

The button "DHL customer card" must be tapped if the smartphone is not activated directly.

The barcode on the DHL customer card can then be scanned.

Pick up without a Post and DHL customer card

Of course, it can also happen that someone has a DHL customer card without a barcode or does not have it at hand.

If this is the case, you can select "Apply for an activation code now" in the Post app.

You will then receive the code in two to five days.

This can then simply be scanned with the app.

But you shouldn't hope for a carrier pigeon.

In the packing station of Post and DHL

Now it's about picking up.

At the pick-up station, open the "Packstation" area in your app, select the desired Packstation, whereupon your pick-up code will be displayed.

On the packing station display, select the menu item "Pick up", scan your code and open the compartment with your parcel.

Mind you: DHL delivery to your doorstep is not affected.
