The delivery time for products in stock is up to 7 working days for delivery addresses in Slovenia, unless the delivery service delivers to the individual delivery address later. For other products, the delivery time for delivery addresses in Slovenia indicated next to the product in the online shop applies.

free of charge personal pickup at SILVAPRODUKT d.o.o., Dolenjska cesta 42, 1000 Ljubljana during office hours;

Prices

The online price applies to all registered users of the Merchant’s online shop. Surcharges may apply to the online price depending on the payment method chosen.

notify the User (Customer) of the new prices, in which case the User (Customer) shall have the option of modifying or cancelling his/her order, in whole or in part, or confirming the order at the new prices, all at no additional cost; or
allow the User (Customer) to withdraw from the purchase and, at the same time, offer a mutually beneficial and satisfactory solution.
