Revocation Right

The return shipping costs are covered by the customer / the buyer and will not be reimbursed with the refund. Exceptions are obviously mistakes on our part. In this case we offer you a free return label. For a return, please contact our customer service: [email protected].

Procedure for returns from Switzerland

Switzerland is not part of the EU and requires a separate procedure. Swiss customers do not pay VAT on their purchases from Vitomalia. When importing into Switzerland through the shipping service provider, both customs duties and Swiss VAT will apply. When returning the goods, you can request a refund of customs duties. 

  1. Pack your return items securely, ideally in the original box and in the same condition in which they arrived. 
  2. Send your return as Returned Goods so that you do not have to pay any additional customs duties. For returns from Switzerland, you must fill out a waybill. Click here to fill out the waybill.
