Shipping Policy
All shipping addresses
The following shipping address requirements are applicable to all destinations:
- The shipping address must be exclusively in Latin characters.
- Craftopia does not provide address validation services. Therefore, it is the customer’s responsibility to provide an accurate shipping address.
Delivery to a PO box
- Delivery to a PO box is advised only for destinations in the United States. For other countries, delivery to a PO box is not advisable and is at the customer’s own risk.
- PO box addresses are not supported by Express Delivery. If a customer submits an order with Express Delivery and enters a PO box address, it will be imported as a standard order in Craftopia.
- The correct address formatting guidelines should be followed when a shipment is directed to a PO box:
- First name: John (matching the name on the box)
- Last name: Smith (matching the name on the box)
- Address 1: PO Box 1776
- Zip code: 28034
- City: Dallas
- Country: United States
Shipping to or within Germany
There are specific shipping requirements for orders delivered to home addresses in Germany as well as those sent to parcel lockers (Packstations) or collection points (Paketfiliale or Paketshop). It’s crucial for you to adhere to the guidelines below to ensure a successful delivery.
Requirements for home delivery
For a successful home delivery, the following should be provided:
- Recipient’s name (matching the name on the apartment building)
- Street address and house number
- Apartment number (if applicable)
- Floor number (optional)
- Zip code
- Country
If the recipient doesn’t provide the listed information, the carrier might be unable to identify the recipient’s apartment. As a result, the shipment will be returned without any further delivery attempts by the carrier.
Requirements for shipments delivered to a parcel locker or Packstation
For deliveries to Packstation (or Paketfiliale/Paketshop) addresses, all of the following criteria must be met:
- The order recipient needs to activate their Deutsche Post/DHL account for both options (Packstation and Paketfiliale/Paketshop). Failure to do so may lead to the shipment being returned.
- Once activated, they will receive a postal number, which must be entered in either the “First name” or “Last name” line of the address. Failing to comply with this requirement will result in the number not being recognized, leading to the return of the order. The correct address format for a delivery to a Packstation or Paketfiliale/Paketshop is as follows:
- First name: John Smith
- Last name: 1234567890 (postal number)
- Address 1: Packstation 104
- Zip code: 46282
- City: Dorsten
- Country: Germany
