Frequently asked questions
Here you'll find answers to the most important questions about ordering, payment, shipping, returns and your customer account.
Order
Add your desired products to the cart and follow the checkout process through to completing payment.
As long as your order hasn't been shipped yet, we'll gladly check whether a change or cancellation is still possible. Please contact us as quickly as possible.
No, ordering as a guest is also possible. However, a customer account makes it easier for you to manage your orders, addresses and wishlist.

Yes, as soon as your order has been shipped, you'll receive a shipping confirmation with tracking information.
Cards & motifs
However you like. A card you add to an order travels in the parcel, in an envelope with a gold seal. For a card by post you choose at checkout: in an envelope — it costs nothing — or as a postcard, in which case the address and the stamp go on the back and your text is visible on the way. In an envelope nobody reads it.
From three sources. Some are drawn for us. Some are made with the help of AI image tools and then chosen by hand — no motif is ever sold without a person having looked at it and released it. And some are freely licensed high-resolution photographs, mostly of cities and landmarks; where the licence requires it, we name the photographer on the back of the card.
Yes, and there is no restriction on the subject. You upload the photo and use the dashed frame to choose the crop — that crop is exactly what gets printed. We measure sharpness on our own servers and tell you beforehand if the crop you chose will look soft in print; nothing is ever refused. No AI system sees your photo, and it is deleted at the latest 14 days after dispatch.
Cards carrying your text or your photo are printed for you alone and are therefore excluded from the right of withdrawal under § 312g (2) no. 1 of the German Civil Code; we point this out before you buy. Cards without personalisation can be returned like any other item.
Returns & Right of withdrawal
You have 30 days to withdraw and return, counted from the day you receive the goods. Products made individually for you — Vondela Studio prints and personalised cards — are excluded.
Please contact us in advance by email at support@vondela.de or via the contact form and let us know your order number.
After we receive and check your return, the refund is made to the payment method originally used, usually within a few business days.
Nothing. Returns are free for you: you register the return, we send you a prepaid DHL return label and we cover the postage.
Account & Email
Confirming your email address helps keep your account secure and ensures that you reliably receive order and shipping information.
