Shipping
Delivery
Free delivery throughout Germany
We deliver orders over 30 € free of charge to addresses to addresses in Germany. Items in stock at our own warehouse are handled by DHL. Orders from third-party suppliers or one of our merchant partners may be handled by other delivery companies.
For orders under 30 € we charge shipping costs of 3 €.
Why do we charge these costs?
Because the logistical expenses for small orders are comparatively high. By offsetting the shipping costs for small orders, our customers continue to benefit from lower prices for inexpensive products.
Here’s an example: if a customer’s ordered a ballpoint pen for 1,70 €, the shipping costs and other expenses would exceed our margin many times over. Without adding shipping costs, we’d have to put up the price of the pen.
