Shipping & Returns

We want your shopping at Vondela to be secure and transparent. Here you'll find all the key information about shipping, delivery times, tracking, returns and refunds.

Shipping information

Shipping within Germany

Delivery time within Germany: 2 to 5 business days

As soon as your order has reached us and been processed, we ship your parcel quickly and reliably. Delivery within Germany usually takes 2 to 5 business days.

Shipping within the EU

Delivery time within the EU: 5 to 7 business days

For deliveries to other EU countries, the usual delivery time is 5 to 7 business days, depending on the destination country and the shipping provider.

Shipping providers

We ship your orders exclusively with reliable shipping partners:

  • DHL – for parcels
  • Deutsche Post – for cards we send as letters

As soon as your shipment has been dispatched, you'll receive a shipping confirmation with tracking information, where available.

Tracking

As soon as your order has left our warehouse, we'll send you an email with your tracking number. With it you can check the current status of your delivery at any time.

Shipping costs

The exact shipping costs are shown to you transparently at checkout before you complete your order. Depending on the delivery country, order value and promotional terms, shipping costs may vary.

Processing time

Orders are usually processed within 1 to 2 business days. During periods of high demand, processing may take slightly longer.

Greener shipping

Where we can, we use recycled and reused packaging materials, and we ship with DHL GoGreen — DHL’s lower-emission shipping programme, whose surcharge we cover. Not everything is green yet; we keep extending it where it is practical.

Returns & withdrawal

Your right of withdrawal and return

At Vondela you have a 30-day right of withdrawal and return, starting from the day you receive your goods. This excludes products made individually to your specifications — such as Vondela Studio prints and personalised cards (§ 312g Abs. 2 Nr. 1 BGB).

How your 30-day return works

Everything that matters about your 30-day return, at a glance.

This means:

  • Returning is free for you — we send you a prepaid DHL return label and cover the postage ourselves.
  • You can return items to us within 30 days of receiving the goods.
  • The goods should be unused, clean and in proper condition.
  • Where possible, please return items complete and securely packaged.

Return conditions

A return is possible if:

  • the item is unworn or unused,
  • there are no heavy signs of use,
  • the item is returned complete,
  • the return was registered within the permitted period.

Excluded from returns

The following in particular may be excluded from returns:

  • opened hygiene or care products,
  • personalised or custom-made products,
  • sealed items, if the seal was removed after delivery and the goods are not suitable for return for hygiene reasons.

Which exceptions apply depends on the type of product. The statutory right of withdrawal does not apply without limit to all types of goods.

Cards and postcards

Two different rules apply to cards, and which one applies is your own choice at checkout.

  • A card WITHOUT anything of your own — no text, photo, sticker, handwriting, voice or video greeting — is an ordinary article: you can return it within 30 days like anything else. It is not personalised — we have printed nothing on it that fits only one person.
  • A card WITH something of your own — your text, a photo, a sticker, your handwriting or the code to your voice or video greeting — is made for one recipient. That places it under the exception above: return and withdrawal are excluded (§ 312g(2)(1) BGB). You see all of it in the preview before you buy, and you decide yourself whether to add anything of your own at all.
  • The envelope is free — in both cases. A card without text can be sent in an envelope too.
  • Without an envelope the card travels as a postcard: the address and the Deutsche Post stamp go on the back, next to the writing area. Postage is already in the price.

Register a return

With an account, you register the return yourself: in your account under “Orders”, open the order and choose “Return items” — you'll usually get the DHL return label straight away, to download and by email. Without an account, please register it in advance via our contact form or by email:

E-Mail: support@vondela.de

Please include if possible:

  • Order number
  • Name
  • Email address
  • Item
  • Reason for return

Refund

After we receive and check your return, we'll refund the corresponding amount to the payment method originally used. Processing the refund usually takes a few business days.
