Dear customers,

we are open again since April 14th, 2020 across Austria and look forward to welcoming you personally to one of our branches. You can buy and sell as usual, but please note that we can only offer a reduced product range in the current situation.

Legislation stipulates the wearing of a mouth-nose covering mask and the compliance of a safety distance of 1 meter. Please note that you are not allowed to enter our branch without the legally required nose and throat protection.

The following applies to the web shop: picking up your goods in our branches and the option of paying in cash are possible again!

We are looking forward to your visit!

Our opening times remain as usual. You can find this on the respective branch page.

You can also continue to order in the philoro webshop. However, Österreichische Post AG stopped handing over valuables personally to the recipients. Therefore, from now on we will only deliver the value mail items to post offices. We cannot deliver to pick-up points of Post AG or postal partners - the shops of postal partners have closed. If the shipment has arrived at the post office of your choice, you will be notified by email and you can collect your package from the post office. Either you enter the address of the post office of your choice as the "New Address" for the delivery, or our logisticians change your delivery address to the post office near you. By the way: You can find the post office near you on the Post website.

Our logistics employees adhere to the highest safety and hygiene standards. This includes, among other things, regular and thorough hand washing and disinfection, as well as wearing disposable gloves when packing your orders.

However, there may be delivery delays beyond our control and delays in the processing of inquiries and orders. We ask for your understanding and endeavor to process your inquiries as quickly as possible.

Stay healthy!
