Information on Dispatch and Delivery, Shipping Costs

Shipping costs at Budoten are as low as they had been many years ago. Favourible dispatch conditions go for us without saying. Therefore Budoten was awarded the "Fair-Shipping-Costs"-Seal. Already since Autumn 2005 Budoten is authorized to use this seal and trustmark which is only awarded to online-shops which are distinguished by fair shipping costs for consumers.

At huge supply of far more than 15.000 single items it cannot always be avoided that some items are due to large demand occasionally out of stock. If an item from your is not available we will inform you on the estimated shipping time. We are pleased to recommend you a similar product. Not immediately available items from the product groups 10, 20, 55, 70, 80 will be shipped in average within 4 working days from your order.

Sometimes we get the question, if we could not just send an item for replacement. For sure - as for some customers, that would be very convenient, but it is not allowed by law in Germany. Therefore we have to ask for your understanding, that we will never send any replacement items on our own. On request we would be very pleased to assist you when looking for a suitable replacement. As we know, that wishes and expectations of our customers are very different and furthermore we do not know for which reasons you had been deciding for that particular product, we hope for your understanding, that we do not include a proposal for a specific replacement in out information on the non-availability.

Quick-Service / Delivery on Specific Dates

For many goods you can use our quick service. By using the quick service we will ship the goods directly from the different central warehouses to you. Please not, that this service incurs additional charges. In particular if you are combining different product-id ranges (10, 20, 30, 50, 54, 55, 60, 70, 80), shipping costs may increase significantly as the items are sent to you from different places and warehouses in single shippings.

Provided, that the items are available, the goods might reach you within 48 hours when choosing the quick service. We can not guarantee a 24-hour delivery service as parcels are picked up from the different warehouses by the carriers to different times.

At quick service we charge per product group 1x shipping costs (depending on the weight) plus a service surcharge of 1,50 Euro. As for items where the product-id starts with 60 the quick-service surcharge amounts to 3,00 Euro.

For bulky and heavy goods quick service is not available. Please note, that quick service is available only for customers from Germany at the moment. When using quick service, it is mandatory to pay by direct debit or credit card.

Deliveries on specific dates - especially if short-dated - we can not guarantee. We are always striving to meet your requests. Please note: Usage of our quick service does not include a promise of delivery within 48 hours. Deliveries on specific dates out of our standard delivery time will be possible in most cases. But we don't grant a delivery in time as we have no influence on the shipping time after hand-over to the carrier. We have to refer to express shipping where a delivery in time is guaranteed.

Express-shipping is done only on special request of the customer against agreement of covering the costs (possible by email as well). At express-shipping there will be extra charges of approx. 30 € per shipping. Besides the usual shipping costs we will charge the extra fees of the carrier on to you. Please consultate our customer service to before ordering to make sure, that an express shipping will be possible for the products you'd wish to order.

Carriers

The dispatch is carried out via Deutscher Paket-Dienst GmbH (DPD) or Deutsche Post AG. The goods are leaving our warehouse on six days in the week, on Sundays we don't deliver. Via the online-tracking-systems Delistrack (by DPD) respectively Track & Trace (Deutsche Post) you will be always informed about the status of your shipment as soon as it has left our warehouse.
Please note: the shipment tracing is possible only at dispatch as parcel. You get the parcel ident code from us after dispatch of your goods.

Free choice of carrier in Germany. If you live in Germany, you decide which carrier you prefer. You can choose between DPD (Deutsche Paket Dienst / German Parcel Service) and DHL (Deutsche Post / German Post). If you don't select a carrier, we will choose the best carrier for you. By default we will deliver in Germany via DPD (Deutscher Paket Dienst / German Parcel Service), since the price-performance-ratio is better than at DHL / German Post.
But we have to point out, that we've got recently in certain regions frequent complaints about deliveries by DPD.
When delivery shall be done by DHL / German Post we charge an extra fee of 1,00 Euro* (post service fee). This service fee is charged because the shipping costs at DHL / German Post are much higher than shipping costs of DPD.

Abroad we are using mainly DHL / German Post as carrier.

*Important note as for parcels shipped by DHL / German Post to other countries than Germany: DHL charges an extra fee for the service "long" (parcels longer than 1,20 m) of 5,00 Euro (only within Germany). All parcels longer than 1,20 m (outside Germany) / 1,50 (within Germany) are considered to be "bulky goods" at which DHL is charging an extra fee amounting to 28,50 Euro. If you would like to avoid these additional charges, you should select DPD as carrier within Germany.
Th service "long" is charged at delivery by DHL / German Post with 5,00 Euro.
Service "long" is only available as extra for parcels within Germany. International parcels are considered to be bulky goods already from a length over 1,20 m.
