Shipping & Delivery Times

Nationwide US Shipping for Authentic Custom German Plates

When you order an authentic custom European license plate from German Plate Guy, you aren't waiting weeks for flimsy plastic to arrive from an overseas drop-shipper. Every single plate is physically hot-stamped on an official 35-ton press by a former Berlin DMV specialist right here in our Knoxville, TN shop.

Because we manufacture in-house, we proudly offer fast, direct shipping to all 50 states.

How Fast Will My Custom Euro Plate Arrive?

Our daily manufacturing and shipping cutoff is 3:00 PM Eastern Time. If you place your order before the cutoff, your custom plate will typically be embossed, packed, and handed off to the carrier the exact same business day.

Our primary shipping partner is UPS Ground, which provides highly reliable, fully tracked delivery from coast to coast.

Because we manufacture centrally in Knoxville, TN, we can reach most of the country incredibly fast. Depending on your geographic location in the US, here are the standard UPS Ground transit times from our facility:

• Southeast & Mid-Atlantic (GA, NC, SC, FL, VA): 1 to 2 business days.
• Northeast & Midwest (NY, PA, NJ, IL, OH, MI): 2 business days.
• Central & Plains (TX, CO, OK, KS): 3 business days.
• Mountain West & West Coast (CA, WA, OR, AZ): 4 to 5 business days.

Expedited Shipping Options (UPS 2nd Day)

We know that car shows, birthdays, and special events sneak up fast. If you live out West (like California, Washington, or Arizona) and don't want to wait the standard 4 to 5 days for ground transit, we have you covered.

To fill that speed gap, we offer a UPS 2nd Day Air upgrade at checkout. While most of our customers find our standard UPS Ground speeds perfectly fast enough, selecting the 2nd Day upgrade guarantees your authentic German plate skips the cross-country truck ride and gets to your door exactly when you need it.

All orders include a secure tracking number emailed to you the moment your shipping label is printed.
