Help & FAQ

If you’re ordering from abroad, you generally don’t have to pay Swiss VAT. Swiss VAT is deducted during the order process in our online shop. For orders within Switzerland, however, the reduced VAT rate of 2.5% is charged.

All orders with a shipping destination outside Switzerland or the Principality of Liechtenstein are charged without value added tax (VAT). Depending on the country, taxes and/or import fees may apply during the import, which are levied by the national post office or the courier company. Taxes and/or import fees may vary from country to country and must be paid by the buyer.

Although you are welcome to order larger quantities of the same item from us (provided that the item is in stock and available for delivery), we are unable to offer volume discounts. There are two reasons for this: firstly, we are not a bulk buyer and don’t buy large quantities from the publishers. We therefore have to pay the normal price of the magazine. Secondly, the shipping costs depend on the size and weight of the package.

If you ordered with QR-Bill (QR-Einzahlungsschein) you will receive an email with an invoice including the QR code and all payment details. So you can use your smartphone and scan the QR code within your ebanking application to pay the invoice. Find here more details about the QR-Bill.

There was a problem with the payment and the order process could not be completed. There can be several reasons for this:

A) Payment via PayPal

– Your PayPal account is no longer active or has been frozen
– The credit card in your account is no longer valid, has expired or has been blocked by the credit card provider
– Some technical problems occurred when connecting to PayPal
– The PayPal servers cannot be reached for technical reasons

B) Payment by credit card

– Your credit card is no longer valid
– Your credit card has expired
– Your credit card has been blocked by your card provider

C) Payment in advance (bank transfer)

– We have not yet received payment for your order (we can only send the ordered items after receiving your payment)
– Your payment details were incorrect or you provided incorrect or inaccurate details when making the bank transfer

Unfortunately, we don’t offer the option of paying after delivery. An overview of all available payment methods can be found on this page.

You should have received all data via e-mail in your confirmation of order. In case that did not happen or got lost, find below all the data you will need. If you forgot the exact billing amount or need to know anything else, contact us, we’re glad to help. Please note, that you have to pay an additional banking fee if you send money via bank transfer from abroad.
