Shipping Croatia/ EU/ World

Yes, of course, you are very welcome. You ill have to arrange your own shipping, but we shall help you.

I live outside EU. Can I still order your products?

Everyone can order our products online. But you’d have to organize your own shipping. We do not recommend shipping our products out of EU due to the high shipping, export and import cost.

Why do you not ship to EU countries?

Our products can be shipped to the EU countries, but we do not organize the shipping.

If we ship to the EU country, we would have to pay your local excise duty. We have no capacity for that. Instead you may organize your own shipping and pay your local excise duty.

When can I expect my products?

It depends on the courier that you hire. Usually, shipping to Croatia is 2 working days, 3 working days to Slovenia and Austria, 3-4 working days to Germany, 5 working days to the UK, Sweden, Denmark, 6 working days to Spain, Finland

Courier/ Packaging/ Damage

How will my courier know which parcel should be taken over at your warehouse?

Don’t worry. The parcel will be ready for the courier. The courier will come to our warehouse with your name, we shall find the parcel and hand it over to the courier.

We shall replace them with the new products or refund the transaction if it turns out the courier damaged the parcel due to our bad packaging.

Quantities

How much can I buy?

There is no upper limit, you can buy as much as you like. It should be the quantity for your personal needs, your family or friends needs, birthday party or a wedding party.

What is the optimum quantity for the shipping?

As the couriers usualy offer different shipping prices for up to 2 kg (1 bottle), 2 – 10 kg (2 – 7 bottles), 10 – 20 kg (7-14 bottles), 20-30 kg (13-18 bottles), etc. A 0,7-litres bottle usualy weights about 1.2 kg, and a 1-litre bottle usualy weights about 1.7 kg.

In order to optimise the shipping we suggest you take advantage of the scaling and order the maximum number of bottles for the shipping price that you pay. Eg. If you pay for a parcel of 10 kg (containing up to 7 bottles), it is much more reasonable if you order 7 bottles instead of just 2 bottles for the same price of the shipping.
