Payment methods and shipment Payment methods - PayPal and credit card
You can choose between the following secure and quick payment methods.

As your order of your temporary number plates will be processed after receipt of payment, we offer you different quick and simple payment options in order to be able to process your order on time - You can choose between effecting payment by PayPal or by credit card. The credit card payments are processed by Stripe. We recommend to choose one of these two options.

If you do not have the possibility to use one of the two above recommended options, you can also effect payment by bank transfer. To do so, please send us an email by indicating your order number - we will let you know how to proceed. Please note that the registration and shipment of your number plates will be carried out after the due amount will be credited to our bank account which can take up to 5 working days. Depending on the conditions of your bank, you might also use a real-time bank transfer. Please send us a confirmation of your bank after effecting payment via email in any case when paying by bank transfer.

Shipment

The registered temporary number plates are shipped by express delivery always.

Our experience of many years has shown that DHL Express and TNT work very well. We might also offer further options of express delivery services in the future.

Please note that the validity of your temporary number plates always starts one day prior to the desired date of delivery of the plates. As in some rare cases a delay in delivery might occur, we recommend to not choose the day of your planned road trip as date of delivery for your number plates. Instead, in your schedules, you should include one or two days between receipt of your number plates and your planned road trip in order to have some buffer time.

You should also have in mind the bank holidays and the total period of validity of the plates of 5 calendar days starting from the date of registration. As we are legally obliged to carry out the registration of your number plates before we are allowed to produce and ship them, the validity of your plates will start on the day of registration already. Therefore you will receive number plates with less time of validity if you choose a delivery date just after a bank holiday. In this case, we would need to carry out the registration at least two working days prior to the desired delivery date. If, for example, you would choose a Tuesday as your preferred delivery day with the preceding Monday being a bank holiday, we would need to carry out the registration on the preceding Friday already which means that the validity of your number plates would end on this very Tuesday already - you would only be allowed to use your plates on this one day.

We offer express delivery on Saturdays to delivery addresses within Germany only. Please note that we cannot give you a 100% guarantee that your number plates will arrive as planned always since the express shipping companies themselves are not able to promise a 100% punctuality for all of their shipments (think of not predictable traffic jams for instance).


You will receive your shipment tracking number via email upon successful registration of your number plates so that you will be up to date regarding the status of your shipment at any time.


If you choose a German delivery address (e.g. car dealer ́s office), your temporary number plates will most probably be delivered between 7:30 am and 12:30 pm. Please make sure that there will be any person at the address of delivery during this period of time since the express delivery driver will absolutely need a signature in any case. If you choose a European delivery address outside Germany, in almost all cases the number plates will be delivered in the course of the desired delivery day by evening at the latest. In bigger cities your plates will probably arrive by 12 pm already. However, please have in mind that express delivery time to remote areas, especially to islands, can take several days more! If you ́re not sure, please send us an email with the desired delivery address including the post code so that we could check the regular period of delivery to your specific delivery address for you before you place your order.

As mentioned previously, in some rare cases a delay in planned delivery time might occur. Please have a look at our general terms and conditions for further information regarding delayed shipments.
