Sending a letter online for the first time?

The guide from Word document to handover at Deutsche Post, with a price table by page count, is in single letter step by step.

Configurable

Shipping options in detail

Tailor every letter to your needs – from colour printing to registered mail with Rückschein.

Black and white or colour

Choose between cost-efficient black-and-white printing for business letters and high-quality CMYK colour printing for marketing material, invoices with your logo or colour documents.

  • B/W – affordable & professional
  • Colour – CMYK quality

Simplex or duplex

Single-sided printing (simplex) is the default. Printed double-sided (duplex), a letter holds up to 188 instead of 94 pages; the letter then costs a few coins more.

  • Simplex – single-sided
  • Duplex – double-sided

Registered mail options

Three types with a tracking number, only for recipients in Germany. Registered mail is always printed single-sided.

  • Einschreiben – handover against a signature
  • Einwurf – documented delivery into the letterbox
  • Rückschein – signed acknowledgement of receipt by post

Features at a glance

What the dashboard does for you with a single letter

PDF upload by drag & drop

Simply drag your file into the browser. Format, page count and address are checked during upload.

Automatic address detection

Our system reads the recipient address straight from the PDF window area. You do not have to type it in – one click confirms it.

Address book

Save recipients in the address book and pick them for your next letter instead of typing the address again.

Sender profiles

Create several senders with name and address. Optionally a cover page of your own as a PDF goes in front of every letter of the profile.

Test letters

Test the whole process for free in test mode. You see a preview of the finished letter without any cost and without a letter being sent.

Shipping status in the dashboard

Your dashboard shows every step until handover to Deutsche Post. Registered mail also gets a tracking number.

REST API for developers

Send letters programmatically via our REST API. Ideal for integrating into your CRM, ERP or your own application. API keys and webhooks included.

Transparent

Costs for single letters

With briefsenden.com you pay per letter – no monthly fee, no minimum purchase and no hidden costs. A standard letter (black and white, single-sided, up to 3 pages) costs 91 coins.

Coins get cheaper the more you top up. The cards show what a standard letter costs at each top-up.

Colour, double-sided printing (duplex), more pages, registered mail and letters abroad use more coins. Before sending you always see the exact cost breakdown – no surprises.

€1.64

from 100 coins

€1.27

from 1,000 coins

€1.05

from 5,000 coins

€0.91

from 25,000 coins

The lowest price applies at the best coin rate from 25,000 coins; below that the price falls gradually between the tiers.
