Delivery and Returns

Delivery time

Delivery takes place within 3-5 days after the placement of your order. In case you pay via prepayment (cash in advance), we initiate delivery after the receipt of the payment. Delivery prolongs if there are delays in delivery from circumstances that were not caused by us, particularly through force majeure, transport bottlenecks, disturbance of operations, machine breakdowns, etc. In case there are delays, you will be informed by us. This does not apply for reduced articles - they can only be delivered as long as they are in stock.

Generally deliveries will be executed by our service partner GLS. We do not deliver to post boxes. We are not liable for wrong deliveries due to incomplete or incorrect customer data.

What happens if am am not at home when my order arrives?

Our logistics partner GLS alternatively will ask a neighbour if he accepts the parcel for you. In case no neighbor accepts the parcel, GLS will bring it to the next GLS parcel shop in case there is a shop nearby. There you can pick up the parcel from the day after unsuccessful delivery for eight days.
In case no parcel delivery is possible - not even with your neighbor or a GLS parcel shop - the parcel goes back to the GLS-depot, where it is available to be picked up by you.
The GLS employee will leave a written notice in case you are not home. There you can find all relevant information for you to pick up your parcel. This written notice also authorizes a third person to pick up your delivery in your place.
