GOURMET VERSAND ships many thousands of different products. These include simple but also special products which, for example, have to be shipped refrigerated or frozen. The calculation in the shopping cart always calculates the cheapest shipping costs. If there is only one cool product in your shopping cart, the whole shipment will be sent by express shipping. Chilled products are marked in the cart. The calculation of shipping costs is also based on the weight of the item including packaging material. You can use the following selection fields to calculate the shipping costs in advance.
Shipping days are Monday to Friday. Chilled and frozen products only Monday - Thursday. Subject to prior sale.
For example, if you order on Saturday, your order will be processed by us on Monday morning and shipped on Monday or the next day (here Tuesday).
As soon as the order is considered paid and is processed by us during business hours, the 36 hours count for us. This is not the case if you pay in advance and the transfer has not yet arrived.
Please also note the information on payment .
