Shipping conditions

Standard shipping (no tracktrace outside Europe)
I ship worldwide, using TNT registered, priority mail. (you sign for receipt of goods)
The shipped items are insured for a maximum value of Euro 146.00 (TNT conditions)
PRME responsibility for the goods ends the moment they are shipped.

Fully insured shipping. (includes tracktrace)
On special request I can ship expresse, fully insured with UPS, TNT, or FEDEX with worldwide Track-Trace.
Because of the high cost of express shipping (starts at €80.00), the parcel will be prepared first, and then the invoice will be sent to the customer. Shipping will take place when the payment is received.
Some shippers also allow the customer to arrange the pickup. This can be very cost effective. Check your local shipper for conditions.
PRME responsibility for the goods ends the moment they are shipped.

General Shipping/handling info
PRME uses registered shipping only, by the Dutch postal service (TNT):
To these prices, handling cost will be added, depending on parcel dimensions.
If you use the paypal shopping cart, the shipping cost is automatically generated, and is based on a worldwide shipping estimate.
PRME does not have a minimum order amount, but does use a minimum shipping cost instead.
For shipping services charged by PRME, VAT will be added as appropriate.
Billed shipping charges by the shopping cart system include handling and packaging. In this cart system, it is not possible to cover each country in detail. If the shopping cart charges too much shipping cost, I will refund the balance.

Worldwide (ZONE 5) shipping is registered, but there is no Track-trace possible yet
shipping in Europe, but outside the EC, (ZONE 4) also has no Track-trace possibility.
