Abholort

Abholort is a German term that refers to a designated place where goods, tickets, or other items can be collected by the recipient rather than delivered to a home address. The concept is used in various sectors, including commerce, logistics, and event or ticketing services. The Abholort is typically chosen by the customer during the ordering or registration process and may be a retail branch, a parcel shop, a post office, a service desk, or another authorized pickup point.

In logistics and e-commerce, the Abholort serves as a collection point where the recipient retrieves a shipment after providing proof of identity and any required authorization or pickup codes. The arrangement can offer convenience for customers who cannot receive deliveries at home, need additional security, or prefer faster pickup options. Policies regarding hours of operation, pickup windows, and required documents vary by provider and location.

In other contexts, the Abholort can apply to will-call ticket collection at venues, service counters, or any location where items are held for later retrieval. The term emphasizes the physical location rather than a delivery to a residence and is often contrasted with the Lieferadresse (delivery address).
