Shipping and Returns

Delivery

APM Telescopes is one of the few astronomical specialist dealers to deliver to all countries in the world. The shipping costs for orders are very different and depend on many factors, such as the total weight or the dimensions of the shipment.

You can use the Estimated Freight Costs function in the shopping cart to display the estimated shipping costs for the items in the shopping cart. Deliveries to countries outside the European Union (EU) may incur additional costs in the form of customs duties or other fees, which you as the customer must bear yourself. .

APM Telescopes sends goods with the shipping service providers DHL, DPD and UPS. When available, you will receive a tracking number so that you can see the shipping status of your order. The shipping costs include shipping insurance up to the specified value of the goods.

For particularly large shipments, another type of shipping (e.g. on a pallet by a haulage company) can be more cost-effective. In this case, APM Telescopes will contact you and inform you in advance of a change in the shipping method and shipping costs.
