Shipping charges
We are always endeavoured to execute your order as promptly as possible and to avoid partial deliveries. It might, however, occur that a certain article has run out of stock.In such a case a partial delivery will be made -if desired- immediately upon receipt on stock, expenses to be charged to your address. We closely work together with post offices, railroad and forwarding agents, who do all their best to forward your parcels as fast as possible. If however you wish to have them forwarded by express, please note it clearly! We then choose the fastest way of delivery; surplus charges however, have to be borne by the customer.

Before ordering please therefore verify for your own whether the desired article is allowed to be imported or not. Please note that you have to bear the additional costs of any import duties (i.e. customs duty, import tax).

Only available within Germany!
Advance Payment
If the articles are paid in advance even 12,00 € are deducted from the amount by our credit institutes. We therefore cannot avoid to charge these amounts to the invoice amount. Please think it over already when placing your order, and take this into consideration when weighing whether the quantity should rather be increased or not, thus avoiding a too high discrepancy between the invoice amount and the extra charges.
Credit Cards
If you are owner of a credit card you are especially invited to make use of this card for all orders with an invoice value of up to 500,00 €, as the above mentioned charges will not be fixed then. However, the discount of 3% cannot be deducted. Please note Credit Cards are only accepted by using PayPal-Service for payment.
