Mailbox.de Address format for Mindfactory.de

    I'm about to order an RTX3070 from Mindfactory.de and was told I'd need to use someone like Mailbox.de reshipper to get the GPU to Ireland. I set up the Mailbox.de account and got my german address with ID code from them. I'm not sure which part of the address goes where on the Mindfactory.de SHipping Checkout page though. Can anyone advise?

    Is the linked screenshot above the correct format. The blanked out part is my name and mailbox.de ID number.


    Also....does anyone know whether we still get charged German VAT at 19% seeing as its shipped to an address still within Germany or will Mindfactory change it to Irish 23% VAT at the end of the checkout process because my Mindfactory account address is an Irish one...or will Mailbox.de charge the 4% VAT difference when they reship the order over to Ireland?

    I have ordered 4 times from Mindfactory via Mailboxde and have inputted shipping address as per attached:


    First black line is my name, second one is the Mailboxde ID. Neither had any additional fees in terms of VAT, Mailboxde don't care once you pay their fees which are just the shipping and processing fees.

    I cant answer about Mindfactory adjusting VAT due to an Irish account address, I have always paid via PayPal and put my billing address as the Mailboxde address.

    I ordered from notebooksbilliger.de using mailboxde for shipping. I only got charged German VAT. The address formatting was even more painful, as I was paying with Amazon and the address fields got scrambled around between Amazon, the merchant, and the reshipper. I re-did the address a few times, but I couldn't ever get the fields to come out in the right order everywhere. It worked out fine in the end. I think it's all good as long as there's nothing critical missing.

    Thats what I am hoping! My address got a bit mixed around even on Mindfactory and I couldn't get it to look exactly like TheFullDucks'.


    Ordered the Gigabyte 3070 OC in the end for €949. Procrastinated and spent too much time talking to family and got back to the PC and all the €979 MSI Ventus OC 3070TI's were already gone. All the rest are €1049 so I consoled myself that the 3070 was €100 cheaper and it giving me more mounting options in the HTPC formfactor case its going in because its shorter and less tall. I should be able to get reasonably close to that for my spare GTX1080 and RTX2060 so this shouldn't cost me much if anything from a certain point of view.

    So far so good. Mailboxde already received the RTX3070 from Mindfactory via DHL a day earlier than expected. GLS forwarding it to me. Should have it by the middle of next week.

    Now that the mailboxde address is setup on my Mindfactory account and I know it works and assuming all goes well with the Mailboxde forwarding, well its great to have another option for PC parts again.

    My last order through Mailbox.de was used as a football. Not sure if it was the retailer -> them or them -> me leg but my suspicions are on GLS. Steel backplane inside the keyboard was bent! Wasnt impressed. Might have been a freak occurrence though.
