Shipping

  • How long does the shipping of my items take?
    As soon as your payment is received on our side, the order will be shipped. Please note that TACWRK doesn`t ship on weekends.
  • What are the shipping costs?
    You can find an overview of the shipping costs for all countries HERE! Within Germany, the shipping is 3,95 EUR.
  • Can I have my order delivered to a Packstation (Germany)?
    Yes, you can have it delivered to a Packstation (applies to Germany only!). However, when ordering, make sure to add your Post ID number in addition to the Packstation number. Otherwise, the delivery to the Packstation is not possible.
  • My shipping status shows that the package will be returned to TACWRK. What now?

    Due to the pandemic, online orders & shipping have increased significantly. Unfortunately, this results in an increase of the number of parcels that are sent back to us every day due to shipping errors.

    Since it is no longer possible for our staff to resend individual parcels before they go through the regular return process, all parcels that reach us are automatically registered as returned and will get refunded. Therefore, a new order can unfortunately not be averted. Please reorder your items. This is the fastest way to receive your order. We kindly ask for your understanding.

  • Which delivery service providers do you work with?
    We work with DHL, DPD, FedEx and UPS.
  • A part of my order seems to be missing - what can I do?
    If there are any issues with your shipment, please contact our customer service directly by e-mail and refer to your order number. We will be happy to help you.
  • I didn`t receive my order - what can I do?

    Depending on the shipping service provider, there may be a delay in updating the tracking information of your parcel, or it may be left elsewhere, e.g. with a neighbour. If this is the case or if the shipment hasn`t moved for 10 working days, we can initiate an investigation. Please note that this may take several weeks, especially for international shipments.

    Please send us an e-mail describing the problem and we will try to help you as best we can.

  • Can I track my order?
    You always receive an email with shipping confirmation and tracking number on the day your parcel leaves our warehouse. Please use the tracking number to follow up on the delivery progress.

Returns & Refunds

  • When can I expect the refund for my return?
    We will always try to process returns as fast as possible. Please note that due to a high volume of returns, holiday periods, technical problems and other unscheduled disruptions, a processing time of up to 10 days may apply in individual cases.
  • How can I return an item or the entire order?

Items, that are already discounted, are excluded. You can find more information about the authority discount HERE!

    In this case, please contact our service department by email.
  • Can I combine my authority discount with other discounts?
    No, the highest discount available applies. For example: You have a BlackCard and an authority discount of 10%. The BlackCard offers 20% discount and is, hence, the higher discount. You will therefore receive the 20% discount offered by the Black Card.
  • Do I have to redeem my gift voucher in full?
    If you redeem your voucher and don`t spend the full value, the remaining credit is stored in your customer account. We can send you a new voucher for the remaining amount. Simply send us an email after your purchase so that you receive your remaining voucher from us promptly.

    We get this often... Unfortunately, no! The stock in the online shop is always displayed to the minute and is absolutely identical to the stock in the showroom.
