About African Attitude - your Africa Online Shop (2024)

Please note the following current information:

  • Austria: Due to changes in the Austrian Packaging Ordinance, we are unfortunately unable to deliver any more orders to Austria since January 1st, 2023. For smaller companies, the associated costs are disproportionate to the sales generated.
  • DHL is currently charging crisis surcharges for shipments to many countries in the World 2 and World 3 regions, so that the postage costs for deliveries to these countries have increased significantly in some cases. Of course, we will lower the prices immediately as soon as DHL no longer calculates the crisis surcharges.
  • For shipments to Great Britain, the shipping service providers charge a Brexit surcharge. For this reason, the prices given in the following tables for the destination England/Great Britain increase by €5.90 each.

African Attitude ships its products by parcel on good terms. Here you can find an overview of the incurring costs for postage:

Small items that weigh a maximum of 1000g in total and measure no more than 30 x 20 x 4 cm (possibly also totaled) can be sent to you within Germany as Warenpost at the low price of only EUR 3.90.

For postage within Germany we charge 6.90€ shipping for each order, irrespectively whether the articles have to be sent in more than one parcel for logistic or organisational reasons. Any subsequent delivery is free of shipping costs for you. The shipping to German DHL "Packstationen" is also possible.

Orders exceeding a value of 70,00 € are shipped within Germany even free of shipping costs.

If your order includes products that can only be delivered to persons over the age of 16 or 18, the postman will carry out a visual verification of age upon delivery of the item to ensure that the recipient older of the package has reached the legally required age limit. This additional service increases the postage for orders up to 50 euros. to €7.90. This service is only available within Germany. Unfortunately, it is not possible to ship alcoholic beverages abroad.

The usual delivery time within Germany is 5-8 working days.

Delivery abroad depends on the country destination and the chosen shipping method and can take 5 - 30 days.
