Shipping information
We ship exclusively to EU member states and to countries outside the EU. Unfortunately, we do not offer shipping within Hungary. All orders are shipped via the express services of DHL or FedEx, depending on destination.
Typical delivery times after dispatch:
- 1–2 business days within the EU
- 2–3 business days outside the EU, plus any additional time for customs processing
Once your package has been handed to the courier, you automatically receive an email with your tracking number and a link to monitor the shipment. For non-EU customers, customs duties, taxes and import charges are the responsibility of the buyer.
Production time
Each blade is handcrafted and made to order. Production typically takes 5–7 business days from order confirmation; this is in addition to shipping time.
Returns, cancellation and right of withdrawal
Your options depend on the type of product — please see Section 6 of our Terms and Conditions for the full details:
- Standard catalogue models: as a consumer in the EU you have a 14-day right of withdrawal. You can start it via our online withdrawal function ("Withdrawal from the contract"), by email, or using the model withdrawal form. You bear the direct cost of return; we refund your payment (including standard delivery) within 14 days of being informed.
- Custom-made blades: because these are manufactured to your individual specification, the right of withdrawal does not apply (Government Decree 45/2014, § 29(1)(c)). Your statutory warranty rights are unaffected.
- Order changes: modifications and cancellations by agreement are accepted within 24 hours of order confirmation, after which production begins.
Damage during shipping
All blades are thoroughly inspected before shipping. If your order arrives damaged, please note any visible damage with the courier on delivery where possible and contact us without delay. We will work with you to resolve the issue and may offer a replacement depending on the situation. This does not affect your statutory warranty rights.
