Questions and Answers

Will you send me the tracking number of my order?

Every package can be tracked online. The corresponding shipping service provider will send you a tracking link as soon as your package has been picked up from us. If you have not received the link two days after receiving the paid invoice (via email), you can of course ask us for it. If your package is going through customs, this may cause delays in the delivery of the tracking number.

If I choose prepayment as payment method, do I have to pay immediately?

Of course not. Please wait until we send you either an invoice for the entire order or a partial invoice for the items on hand. - If the order qualifies for partial delivery.

If an item becomes available after the reservation on my credit card has expired – can you still charge the amount?

If you prefer to pay by credit card, please place a new order online and write us that the new order should replace your expired order.
