Shipping & Returns
1 Delivery time and availability
We deliver our goods daily (on business days). Shipping is from Hamburg, Germany. Orders received before 12:00 noon (CET) are usually shipped on the same day, otherwise we normally fulfill orders within 24 hours.
The delivery time may vary depending on the product. The current delivery time can be tracked on each product page. However, if the product is in stock, this information always applies only to the quantity that is in stock. As soon as you add more items than in stock to the shopping cart, you will receive a message in the shopping cart. Please note the estimated delivery date in the shopping cart and in the checkout.
Hurried shipments can also be sent (at a cost) by express or courier.
The shipment, unless otherwise expressly agreed, is always at the expense and risk of the customer in accordance with our General Terms and Conditions. With the handover of the goods to the carrier (post, parcel service, carrier), the risk passes to the customer. Exception: The orderer is a non-commercial customer in the sense of the EU consumer protection law.
