PAYMENT  PAYMENT

You can find an overview of the payment methods under the following link: "Payment methods"

No, unfortunately we no longer offer cash on delivery.

Pick-ups are possible during our usual opening hours. Payment can be made in cash or by EC card. Please note, however, that there may be short waiting times for collection.

We send our invoices electronically by e-mail once the order has been fully processed. Invoices are sent as follows:

Standard: Sending invoices by e-mail in PDF format to your registered e-mail address.
Optional: Sending invoices by e-mail in PDF format to a separate e-mail address of your responsible department (accounting, payment department, etc.)

Customs territories (third countries / non-EU member countries):
Invoices including several copies of invoices + customs documents "signed and stamped" are still enclosed with the parcel in paper form. Additionally also by e-mail to the e-mail address of your choice.

now NEW:
From now on, we will automatically store an invoice in PDF format for every order in your user account so that you have direct access to the invoice documents via your personal account and can download them if required. Registration (a personal customer account) is required for this function.

Please enter only the order number you received in the confirmation e-mail as the reason for payment. Other or additional details in the reason for payment may mean that your payment cannot be allocated to your order correctly or with a delay.

Please enter the valid voucher code in the field provided in the shopping cart.

If you have problems with the payment, please check your payment information and try again. In some situations, the browser you are using can also cause problems. It may be helpful to use a different browser and restart the payment process. If the problem persists, please contact our customer service for support.

SHIPPING  SHIPPING

National shipping via GLS / UPS:
Standard shipping by GLS or UPS is cost-effective, secure and fast. As a rule, the delivery of a standard parcel within Germany takes 1-3 working days.
If you wish, you can speed up shipping by UPS Express with a next working day time option.
Please note that GLS and UPS do not deliver on Saturdays.

Overnight Express (Night Star Express) only in Germany:
Shipping by Overnight express is the perfect domestic shipping option if you are in a hurry. If you order up to 16:00 pm (Monday-Friday), we will send your ordered goods by overnight delivery to the next day with delivery by 08:00 am. The "Overnight express" service of course also includes Saturday delivery.
Important:
The receiver usually can't take receipt the shipment personally. The package will be stored at night to agreed depot places. If you don't have a depot place, the goods will leave right outside the door. Make available a secure depot place for the deliverer, so that the goods will not disappear.

International shipping via UPS :
International orders are usually shipped with UPS. UPS offers us the best conditions for fast and secure worldwide transportation of your goods. However, in exceptional cases and depending on the area, we also use DHL as a shipping service provider to ensure that your order is also delivered reliably to remote or less accessible areas.

Yes, we offer international shipping and deliver to customers in over 150 countries worldwide. Our goal is to provide you with a smooth and reliable delivery, no matter where you are located.

You can find the current shipping costs here: "Shipping costs overview"
You can now calculate the shipping costs for all the countries we offer directly in the shopping cart. Based on the products in your shopping cart, you will be shown the exact calculation of the shipping costs for the cheapest shipping method.

Yes, we offer free standard shipping for orders over a certain order value within Germany.
Details can be found in the following overview: "Free offer"

We always ship orders insured with a tracking number (tracking code / consignment number). You will receive the tracking number from us with the shipping confirmation e-mail. This means you can view the progress of your shipment at any time on the website of the shipping service provider.

No, all parcels usually leave our warehouse in the afternoon from Monday to Friday. There is no shipping at the weekend. However, pick-ups are also possible on Saturdays during our usual opening hours.

In this case, choose the shipping method by Overnight express. Only with this type of delivery the delivery on Saturday is guaranteed until 08:00 am. (Only in Germany)
Your order must be received up to 16:00 pm on Friday at the latest, so that we can still prepare the goods for dispatch in time.
Deliverability is also a requirement here.

Please note the following about the delivery method by Overnight express:
The receiver usually can't take receipt the shipment personally. The package will be stored at night to agreed depot places. If you don't have a depot place, the goods will leave right outside the door. Make available a secure depot place for the deliverer, so that the goods will not disappear.

SAFETY SAFETY

Nowadays, this question is quite justified, as there is a high number of fake stores and an ever-increasing level of cybercrime on the Internet.

We have a very clear answer to this question:  You can shop with us without hesitation!
Through our many years of activity in the Tail Lift industry and the cooperation with all Tail Lift manufacturers, as well as many well-known workshops, we have earned a serious and reliable status over the years. We attach great importance to customer satisfaction and the loyalty of our customers.

We attach great importance to the security and confidentiality of your data. All data is transmitted in encrypted form. Your data will only be used by us to process your order. No fear of data misuse - the entire ordering process is treated with absolute confidentiality. You can find more detailed information in our "Privacy policy".

Captchas are used to ensure the security and integrity of our website. They are used to ensure that the person accessing our website is a human user and not an automated system or a so-called "Bot".

1. Captchas help to prevent automated systems from filling our forms with spam messages or carrying out fraudulent activities.
2. By using captchas, we protect your personal data and payment information from unauthorized access and malicious attacks.
3. Captchas prevent bots from automatically creating accounts or attempting to compromise our systems through brute-force-attacks.
4. By blocking bots, we can ensure that our server resources remain available for real users, resulting in better performance and user experience.

By using Captchas, we are helping to create a safer and more secure environment for your online purchases. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation in the use of captchas on our website.

We set password requirements to ensure the security of your account and to protect your personal data from unauthorized access. A strong password is one of the most important measures to increase security on the Internet.
When creating a customer account in our online store, we display the strength of your password as "weak", "medium" or "strong", to help you choose a secure password.

We do not pass on your data to third parties without your explicit consent, unless this is necessary for the fulfillment of your order and shipping processing or to comply with legal regulations.

Phishing e-mails try to obtain your personal data by posing as trustworthy sources. Be wary of e-mails that ask for confidential information or contain unusual links. We will never ask you for your password, credit card information or other sensitive data by e-mail.

ORDER PROCESS  ORDER PROCESS

When an item is placed in the shopping cart, we check availability and then reserve it for you in a second step at the checkout. In individual cases, it may happen that the last item is purchased by another customer before the reservation is made.

The wish list is a personal list in which you can enter items that you are interested in. A wish list is created automatically as soon as you click on the "Add to notepad" button in the item view. You can view the contents of the notepad you have created by clicking the "Notepad" button at the top of the navigation bar. You can later add a selection of items from this list to your shopping cart.

After completing your order, you will normally receive an automated order confirmation from us by e-mail immediately. If this is not the case after about 30 minutes, please check the spam folder of your e-mail program. If you do not receive an order confirmation in your e-mail inbox, please contact our customer service. We can help you quickly in this matter.

In most cases, this can be due to the following:

●   The e-mail address was inadvertently entered incorrectly during the order process. As a result, the automated e-mail with the order confirmation cannot be sent successfully.
●   The last step in the shopping cart (checkout) has not been completed. The order was therefore not triggered.
●   Our e-mails are blocked by your provider. To ensure that our e-mails are considered trustworthy and are always delivered in the future, we ask you to add our e-mail address to your provider's whitelist.

You can enter and edit your delivery address under "My account" in the address book section. When you place your order, you can then select it for this order.

As long as no payment has been made for your order, you can still change the desired delivery address. To do this, log in to the "My account" area with your password. There you can add a new address as a delivery address under the heading "Address book". Under the heading "Open orders" you can then activate this address for the relevant order.

REVOCATION & RETURNS  REVOCATION & RETURNS

Yes, of course you have a statutory right of withdrawal. You can revoke your contractual declaration within fourteen days without giving reasons in text form (e.g. letter, e-mail) or by returning the purchased goods. Further information can be found in our "Revocation instructions" for consumers.

In principle, only consumers (private persons) can make use of the right of revocation. We as a business company by law are not obligated to offer a taking back of purchased goods in the B2B-Business (Business to Business).

However, we offer all our business customers the opportunity to return purchased items to us for credit within 14 days of receipt of the goods at their own expense.

Please note that returned goods must be in original, undamaged manufacturer's packaging, must be complete, and must not bear signs of use. Incomplete, used, soiled or tested goods will not be taken back. Please note the 14 day period. If the period is exceeded the withdrawal is not more possible.
(Electrical components can only be returned by prior arrangement)

We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee for improperly returned goods or to refuse to accept the returned goods.
For further information on returning goods as an entrepreneur, please contact our customer service.

Wenn Sie einen Artikel zurücksenden möchten, können Sie den Rücksendeprozess ganz einfach durchführen. Hier sind die Schritte, die Sie befolgen sollten:
