We will only arrange YunExpress shipping from Shenzhen for orders with products in the Shenzhen warehouse worth more than €50.
  • If you place an order with products from both Munich and Shenzhen warehouses, we will first ship the products in the Munich warehouse, and then send the remaining products to you when we receive them from Shenzhen.

 

3. International Warehouse

Our products are stored in both our Munich and Shenzhen warehouses to provide more flexible logistics solutions tailored to different regions and customer needs. On each product's description page, we indicate the specific warehouse location to help you better plan your purchase and delivery schedule.

3.1 German Warehouse

For products stored in our warehouse in Munich, we use either Deutsche Post or DHL for shipping, depending on the size of the package. Logistics within Germany are very efficient, with an estimated delivery time of 2-4 business days, ensuring you receive your order quickly and conveniently. For Western EU countries, the estimated delivery time is 4-6 business days. For Eastern EU countries, the estimated delivery time is 6-8 business days.

For products stored in our warehouse in Long Beach, we use either USPS or UPS for shipping, depending on the size of the package. Logistics within U.S. are very efficient, with an estimated delivery time of 3-7 business days, ensuring you receive your order quickly and conveniently.    

3.3 Chinese Warehouse

We will only arrange YunExpressexpress shipping from Shenzhen for orders with products in the Shenzhen warehouse worth more than €50.

Given the complexities of international shipping, the estimated delivery time for these packages is around 10 business days, though this may vary slightly due to customs processes or other uncontrollable factors. Otherwise, the products will first be shipped from China to our Munich warehouse and then shipped to the final destination. 
To ensure that your order is delivered within your desired timeframe, we recommend reviewing the warehouse information provided on the product pages before placing your order and selecting the appropriate shipping option.

In accordance with the newest VAT e-commerce rules in the EU, OpenELAB shall have the right to charge the amount of VAT. The standard rate of actual VAT applied is subject to the European government's freedom to set the number and level. Such an amount of VAT will be charged when you place an order from OpenELAB. Please contact OpenELAB if you have any questions when you pay such VAT.
