Frequently asked Questions

If you have a VAT number and ship frequently, we highly recommend you to open a GRÜNESLICHT SHIPPING account. This offers you negotiated price savings and the opportunity to pay by monthly invoice. Less frequent shippers can pay at any of our agents offices worldwide.

In the unlikely event that a Time Delivery misses its scheduled delivery through our fault, you should contact your local customer service department who will arrange a credit for you.

If your shipment failed to arrive, it is important that you contact customer service with an accurate description of the goods and their packaging as soon as possible. Our "found shipment centers" hold on to items that were not properly addressed or that became detached from their packaging. It is possible that they will be able to reunite you with your shipment. If this fails, please contact customer service to file a report.
Please note that damage to goods in transit is frequently the result of inadequate packaging.

Due to the size of the door openings on our vans and planes, we ask that a shipment does not exceed 120cm in dimension. We will be pleased to advise and arrange carriage of any larger items for you. In addition, for the safety of our couriers, we require notification of shipments over 50kg in weight.

You will have to discuss this with the vendor. It depends on the type of commodity you are purchasing, the value of the goods, how the vendor labels them for customs purposes and what country you are importing them into. If customs imposes a charge GRÜNESLICHT SHIPPING will pay this in the first instance, however you are advised to pay this, whether or not you accept delivery of the goods.

Please be aware that when purchasing goods via internet sites, some or all of these goods may not originate in your home country. When goods are not sent domestically or within a single customs union, you are liable to pay any inbound duties and taxes which your local Customs authority deems appropriate. Duties and taxes are most typically not included in the price of the goods you purchase online.
GRÜNESLICHT SHIPPING pays the Customs authority on your behalf any duties and taxes that are due on the goods, when they enter the country. This simple process ensures that our courier can deliver your goods in shortest possible transit time. Please note that we only release the goods to you upon the full repayment of any duties and taxes that were paid on your behalf.
