1. Delivery restrictions
We regret not to be able to deliver to the following countries and locations due to [current] restrictions: Iraq, Iran and Gaza-Strip. The weight for parcels to the Ukraine must not exceed 10 kg.
For possible further restrictions regarding the country you are living, please see our site “Ban on imports”.
2. Our carriers
We organize overseas deliveries (USA, Canada, Australia, Asia, Africa – plus Non-EU members) using the Austrian Post AG or the parcel service GoExpress!
Within EU borders we use GLS and the parcel service GoExpress! The cost of transport includes the cost for wrapping material and handling fees. The shipping cost is shown the very moment you place the products in the shopping cart and change the country of delivery. Deliveries via Austrian Post don’t include VAT – those with GLS or GoExpress! include 20 % VAT.
In general deliveries to Non-EU countries don’t include VAT – so customers save 10 % on food and 20 % on beverages (all prices in the store are shown including tax).
3. Tracking the parcel
You may follow your parcel online when sent via GLS. After we forwarded the parcel to GLS we will send you an email containing your personal tracking number. Please allow GLS a couple of hours to enter the parcel in their system. Within the EU you will also receive a tracking number from GoExpress!
The tracking number from the Austrian Post AG can only be provided after we received them, but not immediately.
4. Extra charge for low quantity
Please understand that we have to cover our expenditure for wrapping material and handling fees. As we work with very low surcharges that is not possible if the order doesn’t exceed a special total. Thus we have (as other online-shops) to charge € 5,-- if the value of the ordered products is not higher than € 30,--. For orders over € 30,-- there will of course be no such fee.
Please keep in mind:
- We have no minimum order amount (we will send you every quantity required, but please remind the extra charge for low quantity)
- For orders with a product value below € 30,-- we will charge a fee of € 5,--.
5. Ordering chocolate
Due to temperature differences in the summer months, the chocolate can acquire a grey film. This happens due to the cocoa butter in the chocolate. The grey film does not affect the quality of the chocolate and not a refundable reason! Please think about the temperatures in your country, before you order!
6. Delivery and Time of Delivery
a) Delivery will be made at the risk and cost of the customer (cf. section 3) to the address provided at the time of order.
b) Quoted delivery dates are subject to change. If delivery dates could not be kept, this will entitle the customer to make use of the right to withdraw from the contract only after an extension period of at least two weeks. If we fail to meet the extension date, the customer is entitled to withdraw from the contract.
c) Delivery time is prolonged by any circumstances going beyond the contracting party's intention to deliver in due time in the event of: An Act of God, any unforeseeable breakdown of services, interference by authorities, delays owing to sluggish transport or customs clearance, damage during transport, rejections of important production components and unforeseeable interruptions of services.
d) If partial deliveries are possible, they may also be lawfully carried out. All partial deliveries count as independent deliveries, for which we may invoice you separately.
e) Packing the parcel and preparing for transport normally happens within 2-3 working days. Some products are not always available as they are freshly produced (e.g. sausages) or delivered from producers outside of Vienna. Please understand that it might take a couple of more days under these circumstances.
f) The products for the order shall be ordered as soon as the total is on our account or we can be sure, that the transfer is just happening (e.g. credit cards, Pay Pal)
Delivery times (according to our experiences):
Europe: Depending on delivery type chosen, 1 to 8 working days
To all other countries and locations (overseas): up to 30 days
7. Save cost of transport!
The cost of transport is calculated by the weight of the products! Sending with the Austrian Post the cost of transport changes in one-kilo-steps. Using GLS the calculation is based on 5-kilo-steps. The fuller your parcel – the less you pay for the transport per unit.

This applies also to damage in transit by warranty losses as a result of goods not being replaced after confiscation by the customs authorities of a foreign country. It is incumbent on the customer to procure information himself necessary for proper delivery of the goods(e.g. the customer may contact the agencies abroad in the countries of destination or transit, foreign trade offices, Chambers of Industry and Commerce, etc. regarding local regulations and practices.).
