shipping information
Whether it's destination countries, delivery times or measurements — here you'll find answers to all questions about shipping with Pakajo.
Which countries can I ship to with Pakajo?
With Pakajo, you can ship nationally and internationally, depending on the chosen logistician. Note that countries without an official postal code system are sometimes not available.
What happens if the dimensions and weight are incorrect?
Each shipment is measured and weighed in the hub of the selected postal or parcel service.
Any deviations from the data stored in the order are thus determined and recalculated by the service provider. You will receive a so-called recalculation from us with the calculated price difference on your next invoice.
Note: When picking up your shipment, the postal or parcel carrier may refuse to accept it if your specified dimensions do not appear to match the actual dimensions. The shipping service provider can therefore withhold your shipments or deliver them with a delay.
How long does shipping take with Pakajo?
The delivery time always depends on the selected delivery time. You can expect approximately the following delivery times:
Running times (in days):
EU Prio: 3-5
EU standard: 7-10
Non-EU Prio: 5-7
Non-EU standard: 9-12
How do I calculate the belt measurement?
The belt size is as follows:
(height + width) x 2 + length = belt size
Why do I have to provide a telephone number and email address for international shipments?
Since your shipment passes customs when shipping internationally, there may be questions from the customs office. To ensure faster and more efficient customs clearance, we ask for a local telephone number or email address in advance.
In addition, the shipping service provider can clarify the delivery with the recipient more quickly with a local telephone number.
Customs & documents
International shipping may require certain requirements and documents. Find out everything about EORI, commercial invoice and restrictions here.
What is a commercial invoice?
It represents the document on the basis of which the customs value of the goods is declared (Art. 145 Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 (IA)). If the goods have no commercial value (e.g. goods that are not intended for resale) or if the transaction is a donation or the like, a so-called “pro forma invoice” must be presented, which shows the actual value of the goods. This commercial invoice must be submitted in triplicate, signed by one person.
What are personal restrictions?
Mail or transmission of data/software or similar via the Internet to a non-EU state may not be made if the recipient (person, group, organization or similar) of the sending/transmission is subject to a restriction under an EU regulation. The prohibition applies to all persons, groups or organizations involved in the delivery. It is therefore not sufficient simply to check whether the final recipient of the delivery is affected by the respective restriction; intermediate recipients or intermediaries must also be checked accordingly. Which recipients are affected? The European Union has adopted measures against certain persons, groups or organizations which, on the one hand, contribute to the fight against terrorism and, on the other hand, are intended to restrict trade with persons who are held responsible for or are responsible for the political situation in an embargo country. The persons, groups or organizations against whom the restrictions are directed are usually listed in an annex to the relevant EU regulation.
The current list can be found here: https://www.zoll.de/DE/Fachthemen/Aussenwirtschaft-Bargeldverkehr/Warenausfuhr/Personen/Liste/liste_node.html
What is an EORI number and why do I need it anyway?
You need the EORI number (number for registration and identification of economic operators) as a valid party identification for customs processing in the European Union.
You can find the EORI number via the Cititors' and Business Customer Portal (BuG) (www.zollportal.de ) apply for. Alternatively, the EORI number can also be applied for using the “Participant Master Data — EORI Number” form (Form 0870a) from the General Customs Directorate - Dresden Office - Master Data Management (GZD - DO Dresden - Master Data Management). https://www.formulare-bfinv.de/ffw/form/display.do?%24context=BCA6BD4D130F652F62AE
