When buying goods from customers in other EU countries, delivery prices are different and delivery times are correspondingly longer, depending on the terms of the delivery service.

Package distribution: Packages are delivered by package distribution of Pošta Slovenije or DPD, which deliver most packages the next working day. (Applies to Slovenia) We use the Pošta Slovenije service: business package, small business package  with tracking, which means that shipments are insured under the distribution conditions of Pošta Slovenije. DPD CLASSIC service is used under the general conditions of the DPD delivery service. Each shipment of goods is adequately secured and provided with a tracking number.
If the buyer places the order by 1 pm and the ordered goods are in stock in full, we will probably ship the goods on the same day, otherwise the next working day. If the item is not in stock, we inform the customer and offer a possible alternative.

If the received quantity of goods does not comply with the data on the delivery note or invoice, the buyer is obliged to inform the seller in writing immediately upon receipt of the goods or. no later than the next working day. A complaint opens in the My Account menu, which identifies what is inconsistent with your order. In the event of visible damage that occurred during transport, the buyer is obliged to notify the seller as soon as he finds out the damage, or no later than 2 days after receipt of the goods. If damage to the package is already visible on the outer packaging, this must be immediately reported to the delivery service that delivered the package. The seller is not responsible for delays in the delivery of goods if they occur by the delivery service
