Shipping policy
General shipping Information:
- Orders in Germany are sent via UPS (6€) or DHL (7€), UPS is faster.
- Orders in the European Union will be sent out via UPS (12€) or via standard post (12€). While UPS is quicker, standard post is delivered by the local postal service which can be more reliable in more rural areas.
- International orders are by default a standard tracked international package (15€) and while these packages are sent via DHL, the final delivery will be done through the local postal service. Currently no international express options are offered.
- Orders from outside the EU are priced with 0% VAT and in some cases can be subject to import customs/VAT, please check your local policies in any case.
- US orders will be sent using DDP, so import customs will be calculated and paid at checkout. To minimize cost US parcels are sent in batches once a week on Tuesday morning, the shipping confirmation email will provide more details.
- Expedited shipping to the US will cost approximately $105 via DHL Express due to the customs handling, please contact hello@hedeco.de if you want to consider this option as it is not offered as standard.
