Finally, unlimited online shopping: Here’s how to get drugstore items from DM, Rossmann, and others delivered directly to Cyprus!

Anyone who moves to Cyprus can enjoy 300 days of sunshine a year, the sea right outside their door, and a relaxed lifestyle. But once the boxes are unpacked and daily life settles in, many expats—especially women and families—start to miss one very specific thing from back home: their usual trip to DM or Rossmann.

Whether you're looking for the popular Balea skincare line, natural cosmetics, baby products, specialty drugstore brands, or organic foods: Anyone searching for comparable products on the island often finds empty shelves or ends up paying three times as much at local import shops.

The most common question in expat groups is therefore: “Can you order from DM and Rossmann in Cyprus?”

The short answer: Unfortunately, you can't do it directly through the online store. But with a simple trick, you can solve this exact problem, so you can still have your favorite drugstore items delivered to the island with ease.

Why aren't there any DM or Rossmann stores in Cyprus?

Neither DM Drogerie Markt nor Rossmann operates its own stores in Cyprus. Nor do the official online stores offer direct online shipping from Germany to the island, as the international logistics costs for retailers of drugstore items are often considered too high.

For us expats, this usually leads to frustration:

  • Local supermarkets often have only a very limited selection of international cosmetics and personal care products.

  • Specialized natural cosmetics or certain organic private-label brands are simply not available on the island.

  • Every time I visit home, I have to ask my friends and family to pack my suitcase full of drugstore items.

The Solution: Have drugstore items shipped to Cyprus via package forwarding

Instead of hoping that German drugstores will eventually open locations in Paphos or Limassol, people today simply use a German shipping address. Sign up here.

The concept of package forwarding is incredibly simple and works perfectly for your next trip to the drugstore:

  1. Get a German mailing address: Sign up with Package Forwarding Service and you'll receive a personal address with your own customer number in Germany.

  2. Shopping online at DM or Rossmann: Go to the DM, Rossmann, Douglas, or Amazon website, fill up your shopping cart, and enter your preferred German address as the shipping address. Since the store treats this as a standard domestic shipment, delivery within Germany is often even free.

  3. Confirm Package Receipt: As soon as your drugstore products arrive at the German distribution center, you'll be automatically notified.

  4. Arrange for forwarding to Cyprus: Choose your preferred shipping method and have your package sent directly to your home in Cyprus or to a nearby pickup location.

Money-Saving Tip: Combine Drugstore Orders (Consolidation)

Shopping online is especially worthwhile for drugstore items if you order in bulk or combine your purchases.

You have here the option to bundle packages.

  • For example, you might order shampoo and cosmetics from DM, baby food from Rossmann, and clothes from another online store.

  • All packages arrive at the warehouse in Germany, where they are professionally repackaged into a single large package.

  • You only pay for international shipping to Cyprus once!

This way, you'll save a ton on shipping costs and have a supply of your usual skincare products for months.

Conclusion: No More Compromises on Cosmetics and Skincare in Cyprus

Living on the island doesn’t mean you have to give up your favorite brands or the affordable drugstore prices. With a German temporary shipping address, you can easily get around the fact that DM and Rossmann don’t offer direct shipping to Cyprus and have your favorite products delivered right to your doorstep in the south with no hassle.
