FAQ & Shipping Terms
WORLDWIDE SHIPPING
**Until further notice we do not accept orders for deliveries to: Russia, Belarus, Ukraine.
***We do not ship to any P.O. box, Packstation or similar type delivery pickup box
All precise shipping charges will be calculated and shown at the second step of “check out”. To view any specific shipping rates, add your items to cart and proceed to the checkout. You will be shown a final shipping cost before committing to pay.
How soon will my order ship, and how long will it be before I receive it?
We usually ship within 1-3 business days of your order being received. If your order contains a pre-order item, the whole order will ship roughly 5-7 days prior to the pre-ordered item's release date (see "PRE-ORDERS" section below).
Approximate courier transit times:
Within Germany: 1-3 business days
Within the EU: 3-10 business days (most orders arrive in 3-6 business days)
U.S.: 10-12 business days
UK: 6-10 business days
Elsewhere: 10-20 business days
Is there a tracking number for my order?
All orders placed with a "tracked" shipping method selected at checkout, will have a tracking number provided. You should receive a notice of this by email. The untracked shipments are sent at the customer's risk, as there is no way to guarantee delivery or check the status. City Slang is not responsible for any packages lost or otherwise deemed undeliverable by the courier.
Please contact shop@cityslang.com to inquire about your tracking number if you have placed an order with tracked shipping more than 2 days ago, and have not yet received an email notification regarding the tracking information.
Unclaimed/Undeliverable Shipments (Germany & International)
In the case that the courier is unable to deliver a package due to an incorrect address entered by the customer, multiple failed attempts to reach the customer at point of delivery or otherwise, City Slang is not responsible for payment of return shipping costs levied by the courier.
Similarly, City Slang is not responsible for the payment of re-shipping merchandise to the customer. In cases such as these, the customer is responsible for all shipping costs associated with returned packages due to failed delivery.
Shipping Damage
Please pay attention to the condition of your delivery on its arrival. It can be opened while witnessed by the postman. Don’t accept any damaged or pre-opened packages – otherwise, you accept the receipt of the undamaged delivery in silence (if in doubt, note the name of the postman or employee of shipping).
RETURNS
I no longer need the item. Can I return it for a refund or exchange?
Of course you can! We will refund your purchase with no questions asked if...
1. The goods are returned to us within 30 days of you having received them.
2. We receive the goods back in exactly the same condition they were when they were shipped.
Please include the original packing slip or your order number when sending anything back, as well as a short note detailing whether you would like a refund or a replacement. The latter is subject to availability, so we recommend checking whether the desired exchange item is in stock before initiating a return.
Shipping and handling expenses will be applied to the re-shipment. Shipping will not be refunded for returned items.
Please send your return to:
City Slang GmbH
Urbanstraße 70A, 10967 Berlin
10967 Berlin
Germany
PRE-ORDERS
Please note that we can only state the estimated shipping time for pre-ordered items. Shipping times are subject to change due to circumstances beyond our control (i.e. pressing faults, printing problems, delays in delivery of sub-contractors, etc). Combined shipping of both pre-ordered items AND regular items is possible. However, please note that items (pre-ordered and regular items) will only be shipped as soon as ALL items are available. If the cart contains regular items the customer needs immediately, a separate order has to be placed. Payment of pre-ordered items (and, where applicable, regular items) in the shopping cart is due upon receipt of your order. It is NOT POSSIBLE to CHANGE this type of combined order (on pre-ordered and regular items) in any way once it has been submitted - it means that it is also not possible to add items to a pre-order afterwards.
FAQ
Why can't I choose from any shipping option to complete my checkout?
If you can not complete your checkout, please contact us for shipping options or a quote at shop@cityslang.com
What if my delivery is taking longer than expected?
Unfortunately, even the fine, qualified postal system loses a package now and again. If your goods do not arrive at your door within the delivery times listed above, please get in touch via our contact form.
*Note: If you have chosen standard (untracked) shipping, City Slang is not held responsible for any lost, undelivered, or unclaimed packages.
Please keep in mind that during the times of ongoing and unprecedented complications related to the COVID-19 pandemic, shipping times are extremely unpredictable and are occasionally taking up to 2 or 3 times longer than usual.
What payment methods can I use?
We currently accept payment via credit card and PayPal.
Will my pre-order arrive on release day?
We do everything in our power to ensure that you will. However, with pre-orders, we are reliant on external suppliers and manufacturers sending all the stock to us in time. Rest assured that as soon as we have the items here, we will be working on shipping them out as fast as we can. Our aim is to ship them prior to release day so that you will have that record in your hands on the day it comes out. Also, just be aware that if you include other items together with pre-order we will ship everything together when the pre-order is ready.
