Shipping
In-stock products ordered from www.acon24.com will ship within 24-48 business hours. Please note we do not deliver partial deliveries. If your order includes pre-order products, your whole order will be shipped once the pre-order products are in stock.
Shipping usually takes 2–7 business days with lighter packages and 3-10 business days for heavy shipments. Shipping times may vary depending on your location. Your shipment can be tracked online by the tracking number once it has left our warehouse. The shipping confirmation includes all necessary information on how to track the progress of your shipment. In most cases, large products come on the pallet and the customer is responsible of the proper disposal of the pallet. Lighter packages will be delivered to a pick-up point.
Additional costs may incur if you live on a small street/island/other special area. In such cases, the delivery company will need to transfer your order to a smaller truck for delivery or otherwise make special arrangements for delivery. If you know that large delivery trucks cannot reach your street (a problem in some cities and rural areas), you must let us know before placing your order so that we can inform the delivery company.
When the products ordered by the customer arrive at the delivery address, they are dropped off and the customer has to take them from there to their final location. The carrier is not obligated to take them inside, for example. In the case of big items that are heavy to handle, we recommend that the customer has assistance available at the time of delivery to move the items to their final location.
Delivery is during the business hours. If a transport company stores a package or tries to deliver an order without success, it may incur additional costs for the customer to pay. Also if customer chooses to delay the delivery, it will occur costs for customer to pay.
Please note there maybe additional delays during busy seasons, such as Black Friday and Christmas. National Holidays may also cause delays. Please note that while we strive to ensure timely deliveries, there may be circumstances beyond our control that affect shipment schedules. We are not responsible for delays caused by factors outside of our control, such as national strikes, transportation issues, or other unforeseen events.
Important UK shipping information
There will not be any additional import costs or tariffs for customers ordering to the UK. All costs associated with your order will be displayed at checkout.Shipments to the UK may experience longer than regular shipping times due to Brexit. Depending on the customs, shipping generally takes 5-10 business days for lighter packages and 11-18 business days for heavy shipments. We strive to dispatch orders as soon as possible, but new legislation and processes at customs may cause delays to deliveries. Every UK order will be processed in compliance with the current import regulations, which may delay the time of delivery to your address. We apologize for the possible inconveniences this may cause.

Shipping to regions outside the EU
We ship all around the globe, so no matter where you’re located, our products will always be available. This includes all products available online, as well as others – such as less common spare parts – which are only available by request.
ORDERING TO SWITZERLAND: For larger packages, we use DHL’s Freight-service. Containers going to Switzerland dispatch once a week - usually on Fridays - and therefore, our delivery times depend widely on when the order is placed. Generally, consignments take 5-14 business days to reach its destination. Delivery costs can be inquired from customer service. To order, please contact our EU Customer Support via email: customercare.eu@acon24.com. Be sure to share your address and phone number for the delivery, and let us know which products you’d be interested in ordering.
The payment of Switzerland orders is handled manually due to the VAT procedures. The payments for manually handled orders have to be made via bank transfer (PDF invoice, payment before delivery). As the products will be shipped to destinations outside the EU the invoice does not include VAT – you’ll be responsible for paying your local VAT and possible customs fees and taxes at import.

SHIPPING TO LOCATIONS OUTSIDE EUROPE (not incl. Switzerland and Norway): To order our products to regions other than the EU, please contact our customer service. As such shipments require some extra attention in customs handling, we process these manually.
We will take care of everything; from dispatch to customs handling and delivery. These orders are processed “case-by-case”. What this means, is that we calculate the shipping costs for each specific destination individually. Depending on the location, your package may be shipped by DHL, UPS or PostNord.

Warranty
We provide a warranty for most of our products. The warranty may be for one (1) to ten (10) years, depending on the product. The warranty period and any more detailed warranty specifications can be found in the product specs of the product in question in our online store.
The products we sell are warranted against manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship under normal residential use and usage conditions by the original end user/consumer. The warranty covers private use unless a warranty for public use is stated separately. The warranty period starts from the shipping date. If you receive a product with a defective part, please make sure you contact our customer service right away.
If you have any questions regarding our warranty policy or your receipt has been lost, please contact our customer service by email at customercare.eu@acon24.com.
While the warranty covers manufacturing defects in materials and workmanship, it does not cover damages caused by:
- wind, lightning, flooding, natural disasters, or any other weather-related events;
- accidental or purposeful burns, cuts, punctures, snags or other vandalism;
- abuse, misuse, and improper or abnormal usage;
- failure to follow directions, improper installation, improper maintenance, installation or use of incompatible accessories or parts, alteration or attachments to equipment other than ACON’s products that are intended for use with the product;
- Commercial or rental use;
- Any other cause not arising from defects in material and workmanship.
Normal wear & tear and weathering is to be expected, and as such cosmetic issues such as fading and UV deterioration, surface rust and scratches, and other issues such as normal stretching of materials over time are not manufacturing defects in materials.
In the case of a warranty claim, we will repair or replace damaged part(s) or component(s) which suffered from manufacturing defect. Please contact our customer service by email at customercare.eu@acon24.com to file a claim. When filing a claim, please provide your order number, a description of use and issue as well as pictures so our team may evaluate the cause and come to a proper resolution. For orders shipped outside of Europe (excluding Switzerland and Norway) and to countries/regions within the EU that require special shipping arrangements (such as Islands), customers are responsible for the delivery costs of claim parts as well as return costs.

Please note that if the shipping of the original order was free of charge due to a discount or campaign, the value of the original shipping costs will still be withheld in the case of a return.
EU return: Returned items are subject to 10% restocking fee. When you request return authorization, we will calculate and inform you of the restocking fee and advice you with your return.
