Orders & shipping

How much does shipping cost?

Within Germany, shipping costs €5.95 per order and is free from an order value of 59 €. Soil and substrates are excluded, as they are charged by weight. All prices are listed in the shipping terms.

How long does delivery take?

Within Germany, your order usually reaches you with DHL within 2–5 working days. If you pay in advance by bank transfer, we ship once your payment has arrived. For deliveries to other countries, DHL's delivery times for the destination country apply.

Do you also deliver to Austria, Switzerland or other countries?

Yes. Shipping to all EU countries, including Austria, costs €14.99 per order, and to selected countries outside the EU such as Switzerland, the United Kingdom or the USA €19.99. We only deliver soil and substrates within Germany. All delivery countries are listed in the shipping terms.

Why isn't shipping free for soil?

Soil and substrates are heavy, so we charge shipping based on the total weight – even above an order value of 59 €. Up to 5 kg it costs €5.95; above that it rises in steps up to €64.95 for 63–100 kg. You'll find the full table in the shipping terms.

Returns, withdrawal & warranty

Can I return my order?

Yes, as a consumer you have a 14-day right of withdrawal from receipt of the goods. Inform us clearly of your withdrawal, for example by email to info@orangespot.de or via our withdrawal form, and send the goods back to us no later than 14 days after that. Full details are in the cancellation policy.

Who pays for the return, and when will I get my money back?

You bear the cost of the return. We will refund all payments, including the standard shipping costs, no later than 14 days after receiving your withdrawal, using the same payment method as for the purchase. We may withhold the refund until we have received the goods or you have provided proof that you have sent them back.

Can I also return goods at the shop in Hof?

Yes, after withdrawing you can also hand the goods in to us in person at Lorenzstraße 9, 95028 Hof instead of sending them. You still need to inform us clearly of the withdrawal itself, for example by email or via the withdrawal form.

Are there exceptions to the right of withdrawal, for example for hygiene products?

Yes. For sealed goods that are not suitable for return for reasons of health protection or hygiene, the right of withdrawal expires once the seal has been removed after delivery. Goods made to your specifications are also excluded. Not sure whether this applies to your item, such as a vaporizer mouthpiece? Ask us before opening it. The exceptions that apply are set out in our cancellation policy.

What should I do if an item is faulty or arrives damaged?

Please get in touch with us as soon as possible, ideally by email to info@orangespot.de with your order number. The statutory warranty applies; you'll find information on this on every product page and in the basket. If a parcel was damaged in transit: shipping is insured. In that case, it's best to send us photos of the item and the packaging straight away.

Is there a guarantee on vaporizers?

That depends on the product: additional manufacturer guarantees are stated in the respective product description. For the Mighty+ from Storz & Bickel, for example, the product description states 2 years plus 1 further year on registration. The statutory warranty applies regardless.

Products & care

What's the best way to clean my bong?

The easiest way is with a special glass cleaner, such as the Schmand-Weg Wasserpfeifen-Reiniger, together with a cleaning tray for small parts and silicone plugs to seal the openings. That way the glass becomes clear again without much scrubbing. You'll find everything under Accessories & cleaning, and we're happy to answer any questions about using them in the shop.

Which screen fits my bong bowl?

We stock stainless steel bowl screens in 12.7 mm and 15 mm. If you're not sure which size fits, ask us in the shop in Hof or via the contact form. You'll find the screens under Accessories & cleaning.

Where can I get spare parts for my vaporizer?

You'll find spare and wear parts in Vaporizer accessories, for example the wear parts set and the cooling units for the Venty, cleaning brushes from Storz & Bickel or glass mouthpieces for the Arizer Air, Solo and ArGo. Many models have their own pages, such as Mighty+ or Crafty+. Not sure which part fits? Ask us in the shop or on +49 1525 4540554.

How long does a vaporizer battery last?

That depends on the device and is stated in the respective product description. According to its product description, the Arizer Solo 3 lasts up to three hours per charge, while the Mighty+ charges to 80% in 40 minutes via USB-C with Supercharge. If you have questions about your model, we can help you in the shop or on +49 1525 4540554.

When do I need to replace a Boveda pack?

As soon as the pack feels firm, it is used up and should be replaced – fresh packs are soft. Always leave it in its paper sleeve. The size depends on the container: 4 g for up to 15 g of contents, 8 g for up to 30 g and 67 g for up to 450 g; you'll find all packs under Boveda.
