All shipments from the Lena Hoschek Online Shop are insured against damage or theft from the time of collection until delivery to the delivery address specified by you. Lena Hoschek Online Shop will cover the costs incurred for this.
Please note that returns from Austria and Germany are only insured if you use the return label provided by us. As the customer, you are responsible for ensuring that the parcel is sent back properly.
You can of course specify a delivery address that differs from the billing address. Please follow the instructions during the ordering process.
We can only dispatch the goods once we have received payment in our bank account. Please note that a transaction may take several days. This time depends on your bank and cannot be influenced by us.
Unfortunately this is not possible. We only dispatch items that have been ordered online.
Returns
You can return your ordered items to us within 14 days of receipt. Please fill out the return slip enclosed with the shipment carefully. If you have a customer account, you can announce your return via the customer account. If you do not have a customer account, you can also register the return as a guest here. Customers in Austria and Germany can send the return back to us free of shipping costs as long as you use the return label provided by us.
For returns that are sent back to Lena Hoschek on your own responsibility and freight collect, a processing fee of 30 euros will be charged. This amount will be deducted from the total amount to be refunded.
You have the option of returning the item within 14 days of receipt.
Returning goods within Austria and Germany is free of charge as long as you use the return label provided by us. Return costs from all other countries are to be borne by the customer.
No, unfortunately this is not possible. Please send all returns exclusively to the Lena Hoschek Online Shop.
Once the return has been approved, you will be refunded in the same way as you paid for your purchase.
If the amount for your return is incorrect, please contact our customer service immediately. Please provide us with your order number and a detailed description of the problem. We will check the incident immediately and ensure that the correct amount is refunded.
We will process your return as soon as we have received it. You will receive a notification by email as soon as your return has been processed (no later than 14 working days after successful delivery according to shipment tracking). During the sale phase, it may take an additional 1-2 working days to process the return.
All return parcels from Austria are delivered by Austrian Post to a returns depot in Wiener Neudorf and transported from there by our logistics partner to our central warehouse in Vienna for final processing. Therefore, there may be a time difference of approx. 3 – 5 working days between the delivery according to shipment tracking and the actual receipt and final processing of your return shipment.
All return parcels from Germany are delivered to a UPS returns depot in Kirchheim and transported from there to our central warehouse in Austria for final processing. Therefore, there may be a time difference of approx. 7 – 10 working days between the delivery according to shipment tracking and the actual receipt and final processing of your return shipment.
Delivery & Returns international
If you are in a non-EU country and place an order in our online store, you pay net prices (excl. VAT). As soon as the parcel has reached your non-EU destination, you must pay the import sales tax, fees and customs duties. The amount of customs duties depends on the goods themselves, the value and the country of origin of the goods. These costs cannot be estimated by us. Please contact the relevant customs authority for detailed information.
If you wish to return an item from your order, please follow the instructions below:
When returning goods to the EU, you must always enclose the original invoice (please mark the returned goods that are in the package with a highlighter), the export documents, a proforma invoice in triplicate, the proof of return delivery (e.g. the invoice from the post office) and the customs declaration you have completed with the original prices in euros. It is important that the shipment is declared as a return shipment. Please indicate AUSTRIA or AT as the country of origin.
Otherwise there will be delays in the final delivery and additional costs such as import and storage fees. Austrian customs need to know if the goods were originally exported from Austria to avoid customs duties and taxes once the parcel arrives in Austria.
If you attach all the mentioned papers (in this case there is more) on the outside of the parcel, customs does not need to open the parcel or ask us about the contents of the parcel.
The costs for the return shipment are to be borne by you.
LENA HOSCHEK will not bear any customs costs incurred for deliveries and returns from non-EU countries. In this case, we must deduct the amount for any customs costs incurred from the refund amount. Shipping costs for orders placed outside the EU cannot be refunded in the event of a return.
Should you wish to return an item, Lena Hoschek will not refund international duties and taxes paid at customs clearance for orders. Residents can contact their local customs office for a tax refund.

We currently work with 16 contract workshops in Europe, including Portugal, Hungary, Slovenia, Croatia, Romania, North Macedonia, Serbia and Slovakia. These workshops employ talented men and women who are masters of their craft. They are people with skills and interesting stories. Our partner companies vary in size and structure – from small businesses and family-run companies to long-standing partners that we trust.
Working with smaller workshops enables us to guarantee social standards, fair working conditions and reliable partnerships. Another advantage is that even very specific requirements can be optimally realised. Each country in which our workshops are located specialises in different product groups.
Sustainable production is particularly important to us. Find out more about our sustainability efforts here.
