First, you place an order
The shipping costs depend on where the package is going. They are automatically added when you place your order.
Shipping is charged once per order. So it is best to collect everything in the cart and then check out. Would you like to combine items from several orders or from my eBay shop in one parcel? Choose “Local pickup (or collective pickup)” at checkout. I keep your items for you without a time limit until the parcel is full or you want it sent. Postage then depends on the weight (Germany up to 2 kg, EU and worldwide up to 1 kg, always insured), and I send you the amount before dispatch. You can also pick up in Niederkrüchten. For deliveries outside Germany, collective pickup is possible if you have already paid for shipping on eBay.Shipping is charged once per order.

Good to know
Two cases that occur often:
- Already paid for shipping on eBay? Get in touch before making another purchase, then I'll correct the shipping costs.
- Delivery outside the EU Preserved insects are inspected by customs in some countries (for example the USA, Australia and Japan). Import regulations in the destination country are the buyer's responsibility. I comply with German export law. Please let me know if there is anything I can do on my side to make importing easier.

Questions or a special request? Write first, buy after.
Your Beetles travel packed more securely than I do myself.
I pack every parcel myself. By hand, with a magnifier.
Within Germany you'll have it in two to three days.
Within the EU it takes a few days longer.
Worldwide? My beetles have already been to Japan and Chile.
Double-cushioned, triple-checked. Then off you go.
Every beetle gets its own compartment in the box.
I'll send you the tracking number right away.
Outside the EU, customs duties and taxes may apply.
Already bought on eBay? Let me know and I'll combine your orders.
Combined shipping? One package, one shipping charge.
Nothing leaves here that I haven't checked myself.
You can pay via PayPal, card, or bank transfer.
Just ask. I usually reply the same day.
