Shipping & Payment

Shipping costs

Orders of €125 or more are delivered free of charge within Germany (Austria: from €299), except feed, jars and mead.

Please note that DHL may change its services at short notice. Some countries can only be served by DHL Express, or not at all, so shipping can cost more than shown below. For national and international events that affect transport you can find current information directly at DHL.
