Nachnahme
If you order goods in Germany, eg. by telephone or on-line, then you have a number of different ways of paying for them.
Sending the goods Per Nachnahme means that, for a small fee, the goods are dispatched and you pay for them at the door. The postman collects the amount owed and this is transferred to the seller’s account.
The advantage is that the seller can send off the goods immediately, the disadvantage is that you have to have sufficient funds at home to pay for them.
