I live in Switzerland, what do I have to attend for?
*Unfortunately the shipping costs to Switzerland are so high that shipping (about 2 kg) a package with DHL is mostly uninteresting. A well-interest uninsured parcel (DHL) - depending on the content - but worthwhile sometimes.

* But here is a litte hint:
If you stay in Germany sometimes or have somebody here, have the order sent to a Hermes Paketshop in Germany, e.g. near the border to Switzerland. Then we can charge German shipping costs. And you can pick it up there with no problem. Please note that you must declare the items by yourself at the customs. We grant a refund of VAT only if you prove to us the customs clearance.

* Also bank transfers sometimes make troubles: In most cases the format was not filled out correctly. Keep in mind that the valuta is Euro (EUR) and use SEPA, the new European banking system. Using this, banking cost should be lower.

* Please accept that we don't supply ART CLAY Silver, Gold and Copper material to Switzerland. If you have those items in your cart, we will remove them.
