Yes, you can. In order to do that, just simply put in your name in the first line. In the second line insert your DHL post number and in the third line, instead of the street, put simply "Packstation". Instead of the house number, use the relay station's number. So for example where the street name usually is, you will have "Packstation 123".

If you decide to deliver your parcel at a spot of your choice at the provided address (e.g. terrace or garage) please make sure that the selected location is safe. Delivery to the place of your choice is at your own risk. If the parcel cannot be found at the place of your choice, neither AVA & MAY nor DHL will cover the losses. Please contact us to find a solution for individual cases.

It can happen that one or the other parcel gets lost, the shipping service provider has handed over your parcel to neighbors or family members or to a nearest parcel store without it being visible in the tracking. We are all not happy with this and regularly give feedback to our shipping partner. Due to the current situation, due to contactless delivery and the increased volume of shipments, there can unfortunately always be delays. Please be so kind and inquire with your housemates and direct neighbors whether they have received your package and check the tracking information. If you still can't find your package, contact us via chat or our help desk under "Where is my order?" and we will help you.

If you see in the tracking that your package has been returned to sender, it is possible that your address is incorrect or incomplete. Please contact us via our helpdesk by selecting "Where is my order?". Please provide us with your order number and your complete address (the name of the recipient must be identical to the name on the mailbox) - we will then arrange a new shipment.

If at the delivery you see that your parcel is severely damaged, please refuse to accept it and let the package go back to our warehouse.
However, if you accepted a damaged parcel, please check if also the products contained in it are damaged. If this is the case, please proceed with a claim following the instructions here:

Failing to claim or contact does not lower the warranty rights defined by statutory law. However, it helps us to enforce our rights against carriers and transport insurances.
