Shipping & payment conditions
We want you to be completely satisfied with your order and the service. That's why we ship our products within Europe cheaply and quickly with DHL, as an insured package and on the basis of our General Terms and Conditions (GTC), which are also listed here in part for information.
DELIVERY TIMES
In principle, all items in our shop are ready for delivery according to the approximate delivery time information on the product pages, but unforeseen delays are possible at any time. If the delivery time is specified as "special order", or if possible long delivery times are already noted in the item description, please ask before ordering so that an individual agreement can be made. Other options are:
Articles with the delivery option "Pre-order" indicate that the article is currently not available, but is already being prepared for production. An order already secures a place on the production list. If the article is available for delivery, the delivery will take place chronologically to the receipt of the pre-order by us. If possible, items that can be pre-ordered should be completed with the payment option "Payment in advance". If we are ready to deliver, we will send the invoice in advance and you can select the payment option PayPal, cash on delivery or bank transfer.
Article with delivery option "Production i.V." indicate that the article is currently not available, but is already being planned. There is no delivery date yet. Of course you can make a reservation and also place an order, preferably with advance payment, but please do not pay! If we are ready to deliver, we will send the invoice in advance and you can select the payment option PayPal, cash on delivery or bank transfer.
Note: The information on availability always only refers to one item under the item number. If you want to order more than one item of the same item number, please note that this may affect the shipping time: The item may not be in stock in the desired quantity. Larger orders may take longer to ship.
PRICES
All item prices include statutory sales tax, but exclude packaging and shipping costs. These costs will be calculated separately, unless they are completely eliminated due to the carriage paid order value. Deliveries outside the EU are delivered without German sales tax.
PRICES
Prices are subject to change without notice. We will do our best to hold prices, but with fuel and raw material costs rapidly escalating, many of our vendors are regularly increasing prices. We will notify you in advance in the case of a price increase before shipping.
Payment options
- Cash on delivery: When the goods are delivered, you pay the invoice amount directly to the deliverer in cash. Please have an appropriate amount of cash ready In advance: You pay the invoice amount / partial invoice amount to the specified bank account. This payment method can also be selected for international and special orders, as well as for larger orders as a down payment. The order / production starts after receipt of money. Please note that after 7 days from the order date without receipt of payment, we will cancel the order or cancel a reservation. An exception to this is an order for a backorder item or one with a known long delivery time.

You are still responsible for the full shipping payment and any/all Tariffs/Taxes/VAT that may occur, regardless of the freight carrier chosen.
REFUSED ORDERS
Refused orders will result in a 20% restocking fee plus all freight costs, which must be paid before any future orders will be shipped. You are ultimately responsible for this cost, regardless of the reason.
DAMAGED ORDERS
