SHIPPING METHODS
AXINAR SA offers you various shipping options for your products, trying to meet the needs of each customer. Below you will find the available shipping and pickup methods.
Available Shipping Methods
1. Shipping by Courier Company (ACS Courier)
For packages up to 25 kilograms, we collaborate with ACS Courier for shipping your products throughout Greece.
Delivery time: Delivery times are indicative and may vary depending on product availability, delivery area, and other factors. You will be informed of the estimated delivery time when your order is confirmed.
Shipping cost: The shipping cost is calculated automatically during the ordering process and depends on:
The weight and volume of the product
The delivery area
Any special handling requirements (e.g., fragile products)
The exact shipping cost is always displayed in the shopping cart before completing your order.
Note: For certain products, additional charges may apply due to special packaging or transportation requirements. In these cases, the additional charges are mentioned in the product description and/or in the shopping cart.
2. Transport Company for Large Packages
For packages over 25 kilograms, or for bulky products and metal constructions, shipping is carried out by a specialized transport company.
Basic charge: €30 — this applies to deliveries within Greece and specifically covers the cost of transportation to the nearest city from your address.
Important clarification:
These charges apply only to orders placed through our e-shop. For any other type of shipment or delivery request (e.g., pickups, contract-based transports, installations, etc.), customers are required to contact our company in advance, as we operate under the “Ex Works” (EXW) delivery term and shipping arrangements vary case by case.
Important information:
Delivery is made to the entrance of the building or to the sidewalk.
For delivery inside the house or to a floor, there may be an additional charge and prior arrangement is required.
For difficult to access areas (e.g., islands, mountainous areas) or special cases, the transport cost is determined by agreement.
Delivery time:
The delivery time for large packages and especially for metal construction cannot be determined with accuracy, as it depends on various factors such as construction complexity, size, weight, delivery area, and availability of the transport company. We will contact you after submitting your order to provide you with an estimated delivery time.
Note: For custom constructions and oversized items, transport costs may vary significantly based on the specific requirements of the product (weight, dimensions, special handling, etc.). In such cases, we will contact you before finalizing your order.

Preparation time for pickup:
For products in stock: You will be informed of availability when your order is confirmed.
For custom constructions and large-dimension metal constructions: The preparation time depends on various factors, such as the complexity of the construction, dimensions, and production workload. We will contact you to provide an estimate.
