COVID-19 and Arte Fo

Information about your questions about safety, delivery, returns, and more.

Due to the Covid-19 restrictions, many retailers - including Arte Fo play an important role in delivering goods to people around the country. We support tens of thousands of small and medium businesses and enable them to sell their products online through the Marketplace. We’re working hard to get you the products you need. Throughout everything we do, the health and safety of our employees, partners, and customers remain our top priority. Please also refer to the latest information and health advice by the government.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I place an order? Will Arte Fo deliver my parcel?

Yes, We continue to serve customers. Please check the current delivery times at order check-out or via Your Orders in your account. When selecting a delivery address, be aware that companies and businesses may be closed and unable to receive parcels.

2. Are delivery times affected?

After prioritizing products that our customers needed most during the first weeks of the COVID-19 crisis, such as groceries or health and personal care products, we have seen longer delivery promises for orders of other product groups. As the situation is stabilizing, we have gradually scaled back the temporary prioritization of individual products and are currently restoring the fast delivery promises you expect from Amazon. You can find updated delivery times on the product detail page.

3. Can I order Corona self-tests?

As the products are currently only available to a limited extent and we want to supply as many of our customers as possible, sales volume may be limited. We are working intensively to increase the availability of self-tests for our customers. For information about self-tests and products offered on Arte Fo, please visit our Corona Self-Tests FAQs page.
