Deutsche Post Package Tracking package tracker

Deutsche Post has been delivering mail to German citizens since 1947, when it began as the German public mail service, and became privatized in 1995, with the German government still owning around 20% of the company. Since then, Deutsche Post has grown tremendously, becoming the world’s largest courier company. Deutsche Post delivers its express service to over 220 countries, expanding its services from Germany to worldwide. Deutsche Post has also become the parent company to a large number of other couriers across the globe, like DHL International.
