Lead-times Ordering, Shipping & Payments

Product types and lead time

We work with a tiered lead-time structure and the lead-time depends on the type of product. We distinguish three types of products in our range;

Amano, Cuna de Piedra, French Broad, Letterpress, Luisa Abram, Mañoa, Mirzam, Ritual and Solstice.
Procedure	These we supply from stock	These we do not stock and supply on customer order only.	These we do not stock, we collect all orders from our customers during the month and we order it in from the US on the first day of the new month, lead-time is then before the 10th of that month. For example: - if you order on Sept 2nd, you will get the product before Oct 10. - if you order on Sept. 30th, you will also get it before Oct. 10th. - this repeats every month.
Lead-time	1-3 working days	1-2 weeks	10 days to 40 days

On the Product page ('product data' tab) as well as on the Quick Order Form the type of product and the respective lead-time is indicated.

Orderring Stock products and Special Order Products

It is not possible to combine stock products and special order products in one order. You have to place separate orders. In case you place two orders and want them shipped together we charge the shipping fee only one time (if the total is under the free shipping order value).

It will remain possible to combine orders for stock products and Zotter's hand-scooped.

Ordering

We have no minimum order for EU customers.
Minimum order for non-EU customers is €500,-
Ordering goes by case quantity. If there's less stock than the case quantity the system won't allow you to add it to the cart. We can add this for you to your order manually. Just leave a note in the comments or contact us otherwise.
You can order via the normal product or brand pages in the webshop or via the Quick Order Form.
In My Quick Order you will find items you have previously ordered - even more convenient for repeat purchases!
Both the Recommended Retail Price (excl. VAT) as well the wholesale price (excl. VAT) is indicated for each product.
