Shipping, Payment

Transportation

To deliver the ordered goods, we use the shipping companies PPL or DHL Freight / PPL Sprint (intended for bulkier or larger shipments). The choice of shipping carrier and the number of shipments are determined solely by the sender (Ateliér Maur s.r.o.) based on the volume and type of shipments/packages.

Customized Direct Transportation

For larger orders, we also offer customized, direct shipping via a contracted carrier upon request.

The shipment is transported directly from our warehouse to the customer without being transferred at distribution centers. By limiting the number of handling steps, this method of transport further minimizes the risk of damage during transit.
