- Processing: We have received and are now processing your order.
- Delayed: The carrier has informed us that the previously announced delivery date cannot be met. You can see the new delivery date in the order details.
- In transit: Your order or a partial delivery is on its way to you. For details, please refer to the tracking information.
- Completed: Your order has been delivered.
For more details, see “Where can I see detailed tracking information?”
Parcel service and forwarding agency.
Yes, we do. However, available options depend on a number of factors. If you have any specific needs, please get in touch with your ARP account manager before placing your order.
You can always see up-to-date availability information for each product on our website. Products that are on stock typically arrive with you within 24 to 48 hours.
The shipping costs are 9,90€.
If the carrier provides tracking information, you can see this in the order details. In your user account, find the order under “Orders” or “Delivery notes”. Then click on “Options” and select “Track order”.
You can see details for each consignment in your order, including the carrier, products and quantities they contain. To open the carrier’s tracking website, just click on the consignment no.
Note that you will also receive this information in the shipping confirmation by e-mail (see “How can I configure e-mail notifications?” for details.)
In the rare case that the expected delivery date cannot be met, your order will typically arrive no more than one or two days later.
Not in all cases we have data for the course of the shipment.
Possible reasons for this:
- The database is updated with a time delay.
- For international standard consignments, arp.com does not always have the information for a complete consignment process.
- Your shipment is sent via a carrier that does not offer shipment tracking.
- Your delivery is not a delivery of physical products, and therefore has no shipment tracking.
If the expected delivery date of your untraceable shipment has passed and your tracking information does not show a new status, please wait another one or two business days. Typically, shipments arrive on time or very shortly after the expected delivery date.
If you would like to return a product, simply request a return in your account and we will process your request asap. If you ordered a product by mistake, please be aware that we can only accept a return if the original box is still sealed. If you have received the wrong product or the product is defective or damaged, please get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to help.
