YES, it is definitely safe to order from us! Our secure server software encrypts all your personal information including credit card number, name and address. We use SSL (secure socket layer) level encryption. This is one of the most advanced encrypting technologies available today. Any information sent over the Internet is encrypted into an unbreakable code before it is sent. This ensures that no third party can intercept and decipher your personal information.

Simple Search:

The simple search helps you to find the item you are looking for.

This is very easy; you can find the search text field on every site at the upper right corner of the page. You just have to type in your keyword in the upper right search text field. The use of lower case letters and capitalization is not important.

It doesn't matter on which page you are typing in your search, it will always search our complete product database. You have the following possibilities searching for an item:

• one keyword: e.g. wallet
• more keywords: e.g. wallet black

Additional it is possible to use logical operators like "AND" and "OR". For example you can type in the following keywords: t-shirt AND blue. The search result would be all t-shirts in blue.

Furthermore, you can use brackets to refine your search result, like t-shirt AND (blue OR black OR "dark blue"). By using quotation marks you can combine several keywords to one keyword.  The search result in this case would be all t-shirts in blue, black and dark-blue. You have a bigger selection than with just using "t-shirt AND blue".

After you typed in your keywords, click the "enter" -key on your keyboard or the button "Go" on the right side of the text field.  A few seconds later you will see your search results.

Advanced Search:

If the simple search isn't enough for you or your search result is too long, you can consider using the Advanced Search function. Here you can refine your search even more.

The following options are available:

Keywords: You can type in your keywords as explained above

Categories: You limit your search result to a specific category. Please choose one category if you are looking for an item in a specific category.

Manufacturer: It is also possible to choose a manufacturer, so the search result will only show items that match your keywords and are from the chosen manufacturer.

Price over and Price up to: Do you have a certain budget for your purchase? Use this function to set the price area you are willing to spend. For example, for "Price over" type in "10" and "Price up to" "30". The search result will show all items that cost more than 10 Euros/US$ but are cheaper than 30 Euros/US$.

If you need to pay customs fees, then you will be contacted by customs by either letter, email, or phone. But it is unlikely that you have to pay any extra fees because most orders are below the minimum limit of 150 Euros / US$220.
