Is there a risk of getting infected through the products

No - There are currently no cases where it has been proven that people have become infected through contact with goods. Based on the findings and assessment of the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR), we can therefore state, according to the current state of knowledge: "An infection with COVID-19 via surfaces that do not belong to the direct environment of a symptomatic patient, such as imported goods, mail or luggage, is therefore unlikely”.

Quelle: BfR as of 17.03.20

Can I be infected by a returned product sent to me

This is impossible, as we do not resend any returned products to you, regardless of whether they have been opened or not.  

 

Do you still ship to Austria despite the border being closed?

There are no restrictions on the shipment of goods for the time being, so there will be no restrictions on shipping.   

 

Does the COVID pandemic affect your stock?

We have built up a stock that will last well into 2020.

 

What does the COVID pandemic mean for your employees?

Our employees are able to stay at home and work from their home offices. Our warehouse staff follow all recommended hygienic measures and avoid physical contact with each other. The well-being and health of our employees is of paramount importance to us.
