What is the delivery fee?

The delivery fee is based on distance from your closest hub and your basket size – the higher your basket value, the lower the delivery fee. You'll find your exact delivery fee during checkout.

Why do you charge a storage fee?

In addition to the delivery costs, we charge an additional fee (storage fee) for certain products. This fee compensates for the higher costs associated with the sale of these products, e.g. special expenses for inspection, storage or protection against theft. The storage fee applies to every order that includes at least one such product and is shown separately in the shopping cart or in the order overview.

Can I pay in cash when my order is delivered?

If it is busy, it can sometimes unfortunately take a bit longer for your order to be delivered. The estimated delivery time is always indicated in the app before you place your order. If the order has not arrived after the delivery time indicated, you can contact our customer service.

Why can't I place an order during opening times?

If it gets too busy, your local hub may temporarily restrict new, incoming orders so they can avoid extensive delivery times.

I forgot to add something to my order. Can I still change it?
