Attention: We currently only deliver within Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

The flat-rate delivery charge is generally incurred once per order and is shown in the shopping cart.

3.2 We can only deliver our products between Monday and Saturday (except public holidays). As soon as you have sent an order, you can no longer change the delivery address. If you want to change the delivery address after you have sent an order, please contact us as soon as possible using the following link.

3.3 The delivery time is approximately 1-3 working days. The actual delivery date of a product depends on whether the product is in stock and on the delivery address you have given us. It also depends on whether we have received your payment.

3.4 You must inform us via Email customer-care@cbuy.ch before the agreed delivery date if there are any circumstances that are relevant to the delivery. These are without exception all factors relating to access: On the way to your delivery address (e.g. deep bridges, narrow roads, etc.) and/or at your delivery address itself (e.g. small doors, narrow passages, steps, etc.). Please consider carefully whether you have such factors.

3.5 You may be required to pay additional delivery charges if:

– it is not possible for us to complete a delivery because on the day of delivery there is no person over 18 years of age at the delivery address to receive the product;

– you try to change the delivery address after the package has already been sent to you; and/or;

– you fail to inform us of any special circumstances that are important for the delivery.

Although we make every effort, we cannot guarantee anything, and it is possible that we reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to cancel delivery of the product to a specific address within a building at the delivery address.
If your order includes goods whose sale is subject to age restrictions, we will ensure that the purchaser has reached the required minimum age by using a reliable process involving age verification. The deliverer hands over the goods only after the age check. Benefit and risk are transferred to the customer with the delivery of the goods to the customer.
