I tried to order from the Deutsche Post web site, but you have to register first, and when I try to register, it says, "This offer is for residents of the Federal Republic of Germany only." That's crazy. I checked WOPA, but Germany is not a country they offer. Is there an official North American agent for German stamps?

youpiao, I’m not sure if they are official agents or not, but the new issue service Interpost in New York is showing recent German issues on their website.

Nordfrim, in Denmark, is an official agent and they ship worldwide. You can order individual new issues or sign up for a subscription service for all new issues.

If neither one of these work, you might try Lufthansa, as they are bound to have connecting flights between Texas and Berlin! 96394015

coastwatcher Yeah, I checked both sites (actually I checked Herrick, which is the same as Interpost), and their premium over face value is too high, if you want only a single stamp. That's the problem with getting old. You're still spoiled from the good old days when new issue dealers charged a low percentage above face.

You also might want to try eBay. I get a good number of new issues from overseas sellers there.

youpiao , I forgot about Denali Stamp Company. I sometimes get new issues from French Polynesia from them, but they also have new issues from Germany.

I still think that Lufthansa is your best option. Just think what an awesome Ted Talks Stamps that would make...you traveling all the way from Texas to Germany to buy a stamp! You could show the philatelic window at the post office in Berlin as well as visit the Museum for Communication Berlin, which includes the oldest postal museum in the world. Not convinced yet? What if I offer to go with you? You’ll have to pick up the bill of course, but that’s a small price to pay for my company all the way to Germany and back. Think about it! 631737971

I posted my question on

's Facebook page and got this response, (Google-translated from the original Swahili), "Bestellungen aus dem Ausland sind über den Shop der Deutschen Post nicht möglich. Gerne nehmen wir Ihre Bestellung per E-Mail mit dem Zahlweg „Vorkasse“ entgegen.Bitte schicken Sie Ihren Bestellwunsch an folgende E-Mailadresse: kundenservice-weiden@deutschepost.de. Schönen Tag."
