We ship worldwide, if your country does not show up in the selection while signing-up for the shop account, please send an email to info(at)strickmich-shop.de before continuing with your order. 

Our shipping and packaging cost depend on the weight of the products plus the packaging and are calculated automatically in the shopping cart. Shipping cost contain the relevant VAT where applicable.

Orders of only printed patterns (up to 300 g) can be sent by regular mail for € 2,90.

All other products as well as orders heavier than 1 Kg will be shipped as packages with DHL. We charge a flat rate for shipping and packaging of € 5,90 for all orders shipped within Germany. All DHL packages can be tracked and are delivered within 1 – 3 days in Germany. 

International shipping 

We offer the following methods of shipping internationally: Deutsche Post Mail, DHL package international as well as FedEx Express. Please note that the shipping duration may vary a lot between countries and by shipping type.

Deutsche Post Mail

Shipping with Deutsche Post has become increasingly longer during the Covid-19-pandemic. To some countries Deutsche Post will now only ship by sea mail adding additional weeks to your order’s shipping time.

Orders containing only printed patterns and books and weighing below 1 Kg can be shipped as international letters with Deutsche Post Mail. They cannot be tracked, however.
Orders containing yarn or accessories below 1 Kg can be shipped as registered first-class mail that is trackable. However, these shipments will still take at least 2 – 4 weeks.

DHL Paket International

DHL is also affected heavily by the changes in international air travel during the Corona pandemic. Therefore, shipping times to some regions have increased significantly.  On the other hand, you can track your package reliably and will receive tracking information in our shipping notice. You can find more information on average shipping times to your destination from DHL at:

DHL Country Overview

Unfortunately, DHL has not only added a fuel surcharge to some destination packages but also increased our pricing significantly as well as abolished our flat rate for international packages for a weight based fee. Therefore, DHL has become both more expensive as well as a lot slower than last year. Packages will be transported by sea freight to most countries.  Please calculate at least 6 weeks for delivery.

FedEx Express:
Due to the pricing development, we can no loger offer shipping by FedEx. 

Due to the complex pricing structure for each country and weight, an overview of shipping cost is not possible here. However, you will find the choices of shipping company and the exact shipping cost for your order both in the shopping cart as well as before check-out.

The shipping cost within the E.U. will include VAT. For shipments outside the E.U. all prices shown are without VAT.

Please note that when ordering from abroad you are still responsible for any import fees, local taxes etc. in your country. (Canada for example charges both import taxes as well as customs fees on most imports) We are not able to check any possible country for its import regulations, taxes and laws. Packages shipping to non-E.U. countries will contain an international CN-22 or CN-23 customs form as well as the purchasing invoice which is usually enough but we cannot add any additional documents, translations, certificates etc. which might be required by your country. When in doubt, please ask your customs authorities before ordering.
