Who We Are
About SourceGermany
We're a small, Germany-based proxy shopping service built on a simple belief: international buyers shouldn't be locked out of the world's best products by geography or complicated import rules.
Our Story
SourceGermany was founded by someone who lived on both sides of the equation — a buyer abroad who struggled to access genuine German products, and a resident of Germany who understood how the system works from the inside.
The frustration was always the same: German quality is globally renowned, but actually buying it from outside Europe involves a maze of shipping restrictions, customs uncertainty, and predatory third-party resellers marking up prices by 30–50%.
We built SourceGermany to fix that. We are physically based in Germany, we speak the language, we have established accounts with German retailers, and we understand the export process end-to-end. What took a customer weeks of confusion, we handle in 24 hours.
Our specialty isn't just shipping — it's sourcing. We know which Leica models are in stock at Foto Koch in Cologne, which Festool sets include the German market exclusive accessories, and which Hugo Boss pieces are Germany-only.
What We Stand For
Transparency First
No hidden fees. No vague "surcharges". Every cost is shown before you commit.
Reliable
We'd rather serve fewer customers exceptionally well than rush volume at the cost of quality.
Quality as Standard
We are German-based because quality is embedded in the culture here. We hold ourselves to the same standards as the products we ship.
Customer Advantage
We find ways to make every order as affordable as possible — VAT refunds, optimal packaging, honest quotes.
Specialist Knowledge: Cameras & Optics
One member of our team is a dedicated Leica specialist with deep knowledge of the German camera and optics market. We can advise on models, authenticate serial numbers, and source limited-edition or discontinued pieces that require direct contact with dealers. If you're looking for a Leica M-system body, a Zeiss Otus lens, or a Rollei film camera — talk to us before you buy anywhere else.
