Important TNT Update

Hi everybody,

I was informed today by TNT that they are no longer offering STANDARD shipping. Unfortunately, this means that all packages will have to be shipped with their PRIORITY service. I find this a very strange decision, but I can't change the rules here.

We have made a deal with UPS and can offer you very low rates. Packages that are shipped with UPS arrive within 2 business days (depending on your location) and one of the most important things: you know where your package is at all times due to their tracking system.

Our system should be updated with the new TNT rates after the weekend.

Reduced Shipping Costs

Yes, I've managed to negotiate even lower shipping rates for packages within Europe. For example, for a package to the UK, France, Sweden, or Germany that weighs around 10kg, you now pay €10.00 less than you would with the regular TNT rates! If you order a package that weighs around 20kg, the difference increases to €20.00 less!

And, what's even better: the packages will be shipped by UPS, who will deliver the package within 2 business days to most countries. They have a very advanced tracking system, so it's very easy to locate your package.

All in all, I am really happy about this. You pay much less for shipping, but get far better and faster service!

Here's an overview of the costs:

BE,LU
Up to 20kg: €8.25 (TNT rate: €34.10 )

AT,FR,DE
Up to 10kg: €8.75 (TNT rate: €25.20 )
Up to 20kg: €10.75 (TNT rate: €34.10 )
Up to 30kg: €17.75 (TNT rate: €40.58)

GB,SE,PT,FI,ES,IE,IT,DK
Up to 5kg: €12.75 (TNT rate: €24.50)
Up to 20kg: €15.00 (TNT rate: €39.80)

We have also added UPS as a shipping method to the United States and Canada. It is not always cheaper to select UPS, but it is much, much faster. Shipping with TNT can take up to 2 weeks, while UPS will deliver the package within 2 days!

United States & Canada
Up to 10kg: €81.50(TNT rate: €57.10)
Up to 15kg: €95.00 (TNT rate: €106.60)
Up to 20kg: €110.00 (TNT rate: €106.60)
