Prices and Delivery Charges

Our aim is to offer high quality organic products at reasonable prices to our customers.

 

We offer 3 sizes of set eco-boxes: small, €15-17, medium, €20-22, and large, €25-27. The exact price of each box is established after the goods have been weighed. With each delivery you will receive a detailed itemised delivery docket containing the weight and/or quantities of each bought product.

 

The minimum order value for a free delivery is 25.00 €. If the order value is less than 25.00 € we will charge a maximum fee of 2.50 € per delivery or we may reserve the right not to deliver.

 

(Example1: order value = 15.00 € --> delivery charge = 2.50 €; Example 2: order value = 23.50 € --> delivery charge = 1.50 €)

 

 

Payment

Payments to Amperhof Ökokiste are made by SEPA direct debit. Amperhof Ökokiste will inform you of the direct debit entry of the due amount at least one day in advance through your delivery docket/invoice. Please send us the filled in SEPA direct debit mandate form.

For payments made by bank transfer (exceptions) we charge a transaction fee of 1.50€ per order.

 

Direct Debit Return Fee

In the case of a Direct Debit being returned, your bank will debit our account with a Direct Debit return fee, which we then will have to pass on to you, together with a 3.00 € administration fee. In case of an error on our part we will carry all fees and charges.

 

Replacement-/Partial Deliveries

We always do our best to deliver fresh and high quality products to you. Occasionally, the products you order might not always have arrived at our premises when we receive your order.  On these rare occasions we cannot guarantee a complete delivery and in this instance, we will either try to replace the product not yet in stock at the day of delivery for a similar product or make a partial delivery.

 

Complaints

We guarantee the perfect condition of the delivered goods to the pre-arranged place of delivery. Natural loss of weight, loss of weight through storage and such like cannot be ruled out and is not our liability.

 

The customer is advised to check the goods immediately after delivery for any possible faults and any promised properties and inform us within 24 hours of any complaints. Our liability does not include damage of goods ensued in the customer’s care through improper handling, goods exposed to dampness, too much heat or other weather/temperature influences, theft and insect/beetle infestation.

 

 

Storage and Freshness of Goods - This is how you can help

For customers who don't receive their goods in person, it can be difficult for us to guarantee that the goods stay fresh and un-damaged once delivered, especially on hot summer days and cold, frosty winter days. If you can’t be there to receive your goods at the time of delivery, please help us keep your goods fresh by providing an insulated box or a damp cloth to cover your produce with on hot days. In the winter it is important to have a frost-free delivery place (e.g., garage, hallway) or to provide an insulated box or woollen blankets.

 

In our shop you can find a range of insulated boxes.

 

Assortment of Set Eco-boxes

The contents of our fruit and vegetable boxes change weekly, depending on season and availability. You can look up the contents of the boxes up to two weeks in advance in our online shop and make changes if necessary

Individual items of set boxes may be changed without notice due to lack of product quality, crop failure or similar events.

 

Deposit for Boxes

You receive your delivery in a box for which a deposit is required. A one-off, returnable, deposit fee of €10 will be charged with your first delivery. We may deliver your first eco-box in disposable packaging,and in this instance the deposit of 10.00€ will only be due with the second order. On every delivery thereafter you should give the driver the empty box and all deposit bottles or leave them at the pre-arranged location.

 

After the 4th box not returned to us we will charge 8.00€ deposit per box. The deposit will be credited back to you as soon as the box (identified by its box nr.) has been returned to us.

 

For insulated boxes we charge a deposit of 19.00€ (dairy products, grey box) and 13.00€ (meat).

 

Extra deposit charges may occur for boxes or bottle crates not returned.

 

Termination of your Subscription and Refund of Box Deposit

Please cancel your subscription 3-days before your last delivery. We will deliver your last order in disposable packaging and the driver will collect any empty boxes and all other deposit containers. A surcharge of €3 occurs for an extra journey to your house to collect any empty boxes and deposit containers.

 

Streitbeilegungsverfahren

We are ready to take part in a dispute settlement prodcedure before the following consumer arbitration office: Allgemeine Verbraucherschlichtungsstelle des Zentrums für Schlichtung e. V., Straßburger Str. 8, 77694 Kehl.

If you have any further questions, then please write to us at info@amperhof.de or call us on: 08142 40879.

 

 

Information on the Right of Cancellation

Should you wish to cancel your agreement with us within 14-days of signing, we require written notice by way of: letter, fax, or e-mail, without necessarily indicating your reasons for withdrawal of service; or – if you receive the goods before the deadline – by returning the goods.

 

This fourteen day period begins after the customer has received this Information on the Right of Cancellation in written form, but never before the goods have been received by the customer (and with recurring deliveries of the same kind, not after the first delivery has been received), and not until we have fulfilled our duty to inform the customer according to the following articles, viz: art. 246 § 2 in conjunction with § 1 para. 1 and 2 of the Introductory Act to the Civil Code (IACC) (EGBGB); the requirements according to § 312e para. 1 sentence 1 of the German Civil Code (BGB) in conjunction with Art. 246 § 3 of the Introductory Act to the Civil Code (IACC) (EGBGB).

Amperhof Ökokiste
Gisela Kinzelmann, Neuriesstr.9, 85232 Bergkirchen,
Tel. 08142/40879, email: info@amperhof.de

 

The right of withdrawal does not apply for cases stated in §§312, para. 2, 312g para.2 of the German Civil Code (BGB).

Consequences of Withdrawal:

 

In the case of an effective withdrawal, the services received by both parties and, if applicable, any benefits (e.g. interest) gained, must be restored. Where you cannot return the received goods or where you can only return them in part, or in a deteriorated state, an equivalent compensation may be levied. This does not apply if the deterioration of the goods is existent at the time of their receipt by the customer. Furthermore, you can avoid the obligation for equivalent compensation for a deterioration of the goods by using the goods according to the regulations, and by not using the goods like an owner and omitting anything that might affect its value. Goods eligible for posting will be returned at our risk.

 

The customer is obliged to pay the return fees where (i) the delivered goods correspond with the original order and where the price of the item/s to be returned is not higher than €40 Euro, (ii) the price is higher and has not been paid at the moment of the withdrawal, (iii) any partial payment contractually agreed has not been done. Otherwise the return is free.

 

Goods that cannot be posted will be picked-up from your address. Liabilities for the reimbursement should be fulfilled within 30 days. The time period starts for you when dispatching your notice of cancellation or the goods, and for us when receiving same.
