DHL Express shipping explained

As of February 12th 2020 PLANET3 is shipped worldwide via DHL Express!
Due to DHL global price increase that happens every year on 1st of January, the price of Shipping via DHL Express is not fully included in the product price for EU countries and the UK anymore!

Now there is an additional charge of 4 EUR making the total 19 EUR (15 EUR is included in the price of every PLANET3 product, so once you enter your postal code and click calculate, only the 4 EUR charge will be applied).

However, DHL Express cost for Zones 4-7 carries an extra fee ranging from 8 (Zone 4) to 25 EUR (Zone 7; most notably: Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, and South America). Please see DHL zones PDF and/or DHL zone 7 map. Regardless of the DHL zone you’re in – if you live in a “Remote area” there is a 6,5 EUR fee for remote area service.

All of this is calculated live at the web shop’s cart when you enter the country and postal code. You will have full information about the total cost before paying for anything! Furthermore, shipping to physical entities via DHL Express is NOT possible for the Russian Federation (only for companies/businesses).

DHL Express ensures next-day delivery for most of the EU (and the UK) and the East Coast of the USA, while the transit time for the rest of the world is 2-5 days barring any screw-ups by DHL.
Please allow 1 day of handling time for me to produce/assemble these units since they’re all in pieces and are assembled for each order.

When it comes to shipping of items from the CAR STUFF category, things are a little bit different. Some of these items, such as the Viton OFHG for BMW 6-cylinder engines, are relatively inexpensive, so the base price of shipping (15 EUR) that’s contained in other PLANET3 products, could not be included here because it would make it appear that a single gasket costs 30 EUR – which would make me a greedy mofo like the world has never seen.

Full shipping cost will be calculated during checkout when you enter your Country and Postal code. I am fully aware that in some cases the price of shipping is more than 2x higher than the price of the item, but.. it is what it is. From my country, I can only ship via DHL Express if you don’t want things to be lost or take 60 days to reach you. I’m aware it’s expensive, but it’s also the highest quality service available. For anyone thinking “the bastard is hiding profits in the shipping price” – let me know and I’ll send proof from within MyDHL+ interface for your address. The price of shipping is part of the reason why I made Viton OFHG available in packs/bundles so that enthusiast from the same area can organize “group buys” without having to organize group buys. One person can order and everyone can split the price of shipping and receive an additional volume discount.
