Bahn.de

Actually bahn.de let's you print your own e-ticket. All it takes is payment by credit card and you need to carry the card with you as form of identification.

It is my understanding that they ship tickets anywhere in the world. I think they want eight business days. Why isn't online printing an option?

Ah, the wonders of RailEurope. Only they would take a 3-1/2 hour, $70 trip and make it round-about so it takes 5-1/2 hours and cost $200.

Note, however, that you could book through RailEurope in two segments - Zurich to Lindau for about $50 and Lindau to Buchloe for $37. Still more than DB.

Lastly, I would just buy my tickets in Europe. You could buy the whole thing in Zurich, or buy just the ticket to Lindau there and buy a Bayern-Ticket single for €19 in Lindau, depending on which is more economical. If you are going on to Neuschwanstein that day, the Bayern-Ticket should be cost effective. It even covers the bus from Füssen to Hohenschwangau

Yes,we ordered tickets on-line for trains from Cologne to Amsterdam with the options to print tickets or have them mailed to us in Canada. Opted for the free mailed tickets and I picket them up @ the post office within 5 days. That's service!

Thanks for all your responses!

I will try ordering them and get them mailed to the U.S.

Just wanted to report that the tickets were order and received in California by mail.

It took less than 2 week from order to delivery.
