Worldwide Shipping to over 100 countries
Delivery & Beyond
Shipping experience
Your book will be dispatched from Hannover, Germany. We count on years of shipping experience and select the most suitable carrier for the respective country.
Prices & Discounts
Single books are shipped for 5–15 euros. Free of charge in Germany from an order value of 50 euros. Everything is calculated in the checkout process. If a certain value is exceeded, we offer substantial shipping discounts.
Transport & Package
Each book comes in rigid book packaging with circumferential edge protection. All books are sealed. For larger orders, we pack your items in cardboard boxes and use filling chips for a perfect delivery to your home.
World Shipments (book splitting)
For book orders sent to non-European countries (e.g. USA) without tracking, the following rule applies: for orders of two or more books, we must split the order into two parcels, as Deutsche Post limits book shipments to 2kg per shipment. Only with tracking by DHL can we combine an international order ≥ 2 books into one package.
Tracking
We currently offer trackable shipments in most European countries via GLS, DPD and DHL. Worldwide destinations are displayed as trackable in the checkout when the corresponding order quantity is reached.
Pre-orders
If you combine a pre-order with a book from stock, Microzeit cannot always split the shipments due to shop logistics. As a general rule, we will fulfill such an order when the pre-ordered book is physically available. This does not apply to untracked shipments for oversea countries, as these are delivered in separate parcels. Partial deliveries are generally possible if the value of the shopping basket is sufficient.
Delivery times
1–2 days in Germany; 3–6 days in Europe; 6–21 days to world countries.
Crisis surcharge / Covid-19 / Brexit
Shipping to certain non-EU countries is currently subject to a crisis surcharge that every service provider has to pay. This includes increased energy costs, flight tolls and fuel charges. Example: DHL takes a weight-dependent surcharge of 7.05 euros for each delivery to the USA. Brexit leads to more complicated processing and a surcharge of 3.95 euros per package. Our prices take this into account.
Benefits for East European countries
We have selected over 20 countries for cheaper shipping to support the Eastern European market. If you order books worth more than 50 euros, shipping to your country is free! Please understand that we cannot maintain a list of countries, as we adjust the destination regions according to possibility.
100% Edge Protection
We know you are a collector and we do everything we can to pack your books as well as possible. 📦 Single books are provided with foam edge protectors and wrapped in strong book packaging. 📚 For two or more books, we use sturdy cardboard boxes with filler chips to protect your order from damage. 🛡️ All book products are shrink-wrapped.
Worldwide Tracking
Hardback books are true heavyweights. 🏋️ Our range is from 1–2 kg. To keep the total price of international orders as low as possible, you will be offered shipping options at checkout. 🛍️ We are working on a permanent and cost-effective solution. For all worldwide deliveries, we rely on a mix of Deutsche Post, UPS, GLS and DHL. 📯 Trackable shipments to non-EU countries are generally possible for orders of two books or more.
Around the Globe
Every delivery is a pleasure for us. 🗺️ To date, we have successfully processed and delivered thousands of orders to customers in many countries around the world. 🌍 We try to supply any country, city state or island in reasonable time and cost, for example Hong Kong, New Zealand, Réunion, Guadeloupe or French Polynesia. 🌴 Certain countries are excluded from delivery, e.g. North Korea and some African countries or Belarus and Russia, which we are unable to supply since the Ukraine war. ⚔️
