Shipping

We ship all parcels with DHL. As soon as we hand over the parcel to DHL we send you an email with the tracking number and a link to the DHL tracking service. Thus you are always able to see where exactly your parcel is – until the forwarding agent rings at your door.

• How long will I have to wait for my parcel?
• How much is the shipment?
• I’d like to pick up my order at your place, is that possible?
• Will you ship to a delivery locker or a forwarding agent’s shop where I can pick up my parcel?
• Will my parcel be delivered even though it\'s a Saturday?
• How do you send vouchers?
• What about parcel tracking?
• Outside temperatures are below freezing. Will my water plants still arrive safely?

Shipping times

We have set ourselves the high standard of sending orders on the same day we receive them. Given that we receive your order during office hours and before 1:30 p.m. and that it is paid for via PayPal, instant payment service (sofortueberweisung.de) or credit card we guarantee same-day shipment for goods we have in stock. Orders paid for via bank transfer can only be shipped when we have the money in our account. Depending on your bank, this can take a few banking business days. Orders we receive after 2 p.m. are shipped the next working day.

As soon as the parcel is on its way to your home, you can use our forwarding agent's tracking service to find out its whereabouts.

Shipping fees

You will only have to pay for actual parcel shipment. Virtual articles like e.g. vouchers sent by email and products you pick up at our place are of course free of charge.

You can see the shipment costs for every article directly on its web page, in the shopping cart and during the ordering process. Please note that shipment to some countries may be higher depending on the total weight of the parcel if you purchase more than one article.

We offer a shipment flat rate for the following countries. This means you can purchase as much as you want and only pay for shipment once per order. If your order surpasses a certain value, shipment is free. Please note that we send Hardscape always via DHL.

In the following countries we have to charge for shipment depending on the overall weight of your order.

Please keep in mind that there is a maximum weight per parcel. If the total weight of your order surpasses this maximum weight we need to divide your purchases into several parcels and charge you separately for the shipment of each parcel. In general, the maximum weight is 30 kg, however, it may be lower for shipments to some countries.

Delivery

Nothing is more annoying than missing the postman. We\'d like to give you some hints and tips here how you best get your parcels.

Please keep in mind that these tips are only valid for shipments inside Germany.

Office

If you want you can give us your workplace as delivery address. DHL delivers parcels during normal working hours, so this can be a good possibility to receive your shipment earlier. However, please ask your boss beforehand whether this is permissible. Some companies do not allow the receipt of private parcels. You also need to keep in mind that parcels addressed to the company may be opened by your colleagues. It is highly recommendable to advert your colleagues that you are expecting a delivery so they know what to do. And please note that on Saturdays, no parcels are delivered to company addresses.

Pickup stations and post offices

If you want us to send your parcel to a DHL delivery locker or a DHL shop inside Germany we will be happy to do so. You can enter the delivery locker or DHL shop address during the first step of the checkout process. For doing so, please select "Enter new delivery address" and afterwards "I want my parcel shipped to a delivery locker" or "I want my parcel shipped to a DHL shop".

Neighbor

Did you know that not only your housemates but also some of your neighbours are allowed to sign for your parcels? DHL offers a service called "Favourite neighbour". If you want to make use of this service, you need to register with paket.de once, tell them who your favourite neighbour is, and DHL will take care of the rest. For further information, please follow the links.

Special places

You are the proud owner of a garden? Great, because this way DHL can also place your parcels there for you if you happen to be out of the house when the postman rings. To make use of this service, you\'ll also have to register with paket.de once and can then tell DHL where to put your parcel. This place needs to be protected from the weather and it needs to be made sure that passers-by don\'t accidentally see the parcel.

Saturday delivery

Inside Germany, our parcels are also delivered on Saturdays, however, deliveries to company addresses and deliveries on holidays are excluded.

Package tracking

All the parcels we ship have a so-called tracking number, which enables you to follow the transport and the whereabouts of each shipment we send to you. When we hand over your parcel(s) to DHL we send you an email containing one or several tracking numbers as well as a link to the DHL page where you can see the current state of your delivery. Moreover, you can always view the tracking numbers of your orders in your "My Aquasabi".

Self pickup

Of course you can drop by to pick up your order at our place. However, please call us by phone beforehand so we can keep it ready for you. This is most important for orders of aquatic plants from submersed cultivation so they don\'t have to stay outside of the water for too long a time.

This is how you find us:

We are looking forward to your visit!
