Yes, of course we will issue you with an invoice for every purchase you make in our online shop. The invoice will be sent to you together with the delivery of the ordered products. In the invoice you will find all relevant information about your purchase, including the items purchased, prices and tax information.

We attach great importance to ensuring that our customers always have a transparent overview of their purchases, so you can be sure that the invoice contains all the necessary details for traceability.

In our role as a specialised online shop that focuses exclusively on business customers, we have terms and conditions that differ from those in traditional retail or consumer shops. One of these conditions is that we cannot offer a right of return or cancellation.

The specific nature of our business, particularly the provision of high volume products, requires such a policy. We understand that this is an important aspect of purchasing and always endeavour to provide our customers with as much information as possible about their orders in advance. If you have any questions or queries, our customer service team will of course be on hand to help.

We understand that despite our best efforts to provide you with the highest quality products, problems can occasionally occur.

We value your business relationship and your trust in us, and we will do everything in our power to ensure that you are satisfied with our products and services. Please do not hesitate to contact us. We are here to help you.

We know that finding the right item can sometimes be a challenge, so we have designed our online shop to be user-friendly and easy to navigate. There are several ways to find the item you are looking for.

One way is to navigate through our categories. We have a wide range of product categories that are tailored to our product variety. Within each main category there are further sub-categories to help you narrow down the field of possible options and help you find exactly what you are looking for.

Alternatively, you can use our search box, strategically located in the top third of our shop. Here you can enter specific search terms or the item number. Our advanced search function will then filter out all relevant products from our wide range.

We want to make shopping with us as easy and convenient as possible. However, if you have any difficulties finding the product you are looking for, please do not hesitate to contact us. Our friendly customer service team is always available and happy to help you with your purchase.

Yes, it is indeed necessary to open a customer account in order to place an order in our online shop. We have implemented this system to facilitate your ordering process and allow you to track your orders efficiently.

A customer account also gives you the opportunity to save your favourite products, view previous orders and check out more quickly. It helps to make your shopping experience with us even better and more personalised.

Yes, of course you will receive a notification as soon as your order leaves our warehouse. As soon as your order is ready for dispatch and has been handed over to our logistics partner, we will send you an e-mail with all the relevant information.

In this e-mail you will also find information on how to track your delivery so that you can check the status of your shipment at any time. We want to make sure that you are always up to date with the status of your order and look forward to getting your products to you as soon as possible.

We recognise that every customer has unique needs, which is why we offer several ways to place your order with us. In addition to our user-friendly online ordering platform, you also have the option of placing your order by phone or email. We have introduced these options to offer you the greatest possible flexibility and to ensure that we can best fulfil your needs.

Our dedicated customer service team is always on hand to help.

No, that is not possible. Kernlochbohrer GmbH only sells to companies, authorities, public organisations and sole traders or small businesses. Private individuals (within the meaning of §13 BGB) are excluded from purchasing.

All processes (processing, logistics, ...) and information obligations in the online shop are geared exclusively to sales to traders. The indication of the VAT ID is requested under certain circumstances and only with a valid ID a purchase contract is concluded on our part. In this case, an online purchase including e-mail confirmation is not binding until we subsequently confirm it and is considered a purchase enquiry or request for quotation.

You do not need to provide your VAT ID number in order to receive the order.

Payment

There are various reasons why your order may not have arrived despite payment. Firstly, please check the delivery date stated in your order confirmation e-mail. If this date has already passed, please contact our customer service immediately. We are here to help you.

Refunds are always made using the payment method you selected when you placed your order. This means that the money will be transferred back to the account from which the payment was originally made.

As we always endeavour to process your order quickly, it is usually difficult to change the billing address after you have completed your order.

However, if it is necessary to change the address, you can cancel the current order and place a new order with the correct billing address or the desired invoice recipient.

Dispatch/delivery

In rare cases, it can happen that not all the items you have ordered are immediately available. This can happen due to high demand or unexpected delivery delays from our suppliers. If this occurs, it is our practice to dispatch a partial delivery. This means that we will send you the items we have in stock immediately instead of waiting for the remaining products to arrive.

We understand that our customers rely on our products and we want to ensure that you can get on with your work as quickly as possible. We therefore endeavour to process partial deliveries as efficiently and quickly as possible.

As soon as the remaining items are back in stock, we will despatch them to you at no extra cost. We will of course keep you informed of the status of your order and provide you with information on the expected delivery times for the remaining items. We realise that this is not the ideal situation, but we believe it is important to get the products to you as quickly as possible. We appreciate your understanding and patience in these cases.

Once your item has been dispatched, you will receive an email with a tracking link. You can use this to check the current status of your delivery.

Please also check whether the parcel has been left with one of your neighbours or in a GLS parcel shop.

We do everything we can to process your order quickly. Our goods leave our warehouse every day. For urgent matters, you can contact our customer service on +49 (0) 7022-503 49 00. Changes are possible in certain cases.

We do everything we can to deliver your desired items as quickly as possible. Alternatively, we also offer on-site collection from our warehouse in 72663 Großbettlingen. However, collection is only possible after making an appointment by telephone.

The bulky goods surcharge of €89.90 is charged for bulky and heavy items, as the transport of these products requires additional effort that cannot be handled using the usual packaging methods. It is often necessary for these goods to be specially prepared for transport by several employees. This surcharge is charged once per order containing at least one bulky item and also applies if the total value of the order exceeds the shipping cost limit. You can check whether an item is marked as a bulky item by checking this in your shopping basket.
