Payment & Shipping Options

DUTY FREE SHIPPING TO THE USA

Good news for collectors in the US: Movie posters fall under HS Code 4911.9100 (poster prints) and are still generally duty free (0% import tariffs) when entering the USA. All customs paperwork is handled by DHL Express and UPS and your order will be delivered directly to your doorstep. 

Bad news for collectors in the EU: Due to the new EU packing regulation we are unable to ship to any EU countries at this point. This new regulation only affects business to consumer sales. It is still possible to set up an order and have your good shipped to any address in Germany.

We suggest to use one of the mail forwarding services like www.forward2me.com.

PAYMENT

We offer the following payment options:

PAYPAL
The market leader in online payments. For currency payments, a (hidden) conversion fee may apply.

ADVANCE BANK TRANSFER
Domestic bank transfer payments in Germany are usually still more or less free of charge. For international transactions, the fees are usually quite significant.

We have made very good experiences with using WISE for international payments. The fees are very moderate and the service is super fast. In case you want to use WISE (or any other online payment service) to pay for your oder, please opt for BANK TRANSFER PAYMENT during checkout.

Once you have completed your order, we will email you a confirmation with our bank account details.

At the showroom we currently only accept cash and Paypal (online or via the Paypal app).

This is very reasonable concern, so I have addressed the matter in a blog post:
