Wollerei - Company and Product Line

We are a pure online store, but we have a salesroom in Wiener Neustadt:
Wollerei - Grazer Straße 90/1 - (alternative entrance via Hauptplatz 24 through the courtyard) - 2700 Wiener Neustadt

Our opening hours:
Tuesday from 9 to 13
Wednesday from 9 to 13
Thursday from 14 to 18 pm

If you would like to come by on another date or pick up your order, just call ahead at 0699/10330775!

Parking possibilities: Parking garage Hauptplatz Garage in the Ungargasse or in the short term parking zone in the city center (free of charge from 4:30 p.m.)

Instead of the Grazer Straße 90, you can also enter the Wollerei directly from Hauptplatz 24 (yellow house next to Bständig) through the courtyard. A little hidden in a residential building, you will find the entrance right on the mezzanine.
If you come from Grazer Strasse 90, ring the bell sign Wollerei. We are in a residential building, there is no store visible from the outside!

More information and map

We have compiled all the information about us and our history here:
a short history of Wollerei

For 12 years Rowan yarns and magazines were an important part of our assortment and we could always make sure to supply you with the needed colors and quantities for your desired design fast and reliable. Unfortunately, due to enormous restructuring in the distribution of Rowan, we are no longer able to do this since 2020.
In the meantime Rowan sells the yarns and booklets also directly over the own Rowan Website, there you can order Rowan directly from the manufacturer.

Yes, of course. We know how important it is to use only balls of the same lot number within a knitted piece. Therefore, we always deliver the same lot for several balls of the same color. This also applies to our special offers in the SALE. For example, if you see that 7 balls of color 192 burgundy are available and you order these 7 balls, then all 7 are from the same lot.

No, credit card payments are processed via the Braintree gateway completely independent from our store.
We only receive a confirmation from Braintree to inform of success or failure of a transaction, but we do not receive the credit card data itself.
So we do not store any credit card information, in fact - our own staff can't even see it.

No, we are not interested at all in your credit card information and accept credit card payments during the online store checkout process only.

Wollerei - Prices and Discounts

Yes, tax is charged to all customers in EU countries. Please note that since 01.07.2021 we are obliged to charge customers within the EU the tax of the EU country to which delivery is made. The item prices on our website are shown in Euro and include Austrian VAT as long as you are not logged in or have selected a delivery country for the order. Please note that the final price depends on the actual VAT that applies to your order. You will see the final price including the VAT rates applicable to the ordered items in the last order step, as soon as it is clear to which EU country delivery is to be made.

Please note that since 01.07.2021 we are obliged to charge customers within the EU the tax of the EU country to which delivery is made. The item prices on our website are shown in Euro and include Austrian VAT as long as you are not logged in or have selected a delivery country for the order. Please note that the final price depends on the actual VAT that applies to your order. You will see the final price including the VAT rates valid for the ordered items in the last order step, as soon as it is clear to which EU country you want to be delivered.

Here is an example:
Austria currently has a VAT rate of 20%, Denmark one of 25%. As long as you are not logged in we show the price of 5,50 incl. 20% VAT. But you are in Denmark and want us to send the wool to Denmark. So we have to charge 25% VAT instead of 20% VAT. So as soon as you log in and your delivery country is Denmark, the ball will no longer cost 5,50 Euro incl. 20% VAT, but 5,73 Euro incl. 25% VAT.

If you order from an EU country with a lower tax rate than Austria, the ball will cost correspondingly less.

An example for this as well:
Austria currently has a VAT rate of 20%, Luxembourg one of 17%. As long as you are not logged in we show the price of 5,50 incl. 20% VAT. But you are in Luxembourg and want us to send the wool to Luxembourg. So we have to charge 17% VAT instead of 20% VAT. So as soon as you log in and your delivery country is Luxembourg, the ball will no longer cost 5,50 Euro incl. 20% VAT, but 5,36 Euro incl. 17% VAT.

No, for customers outside the European Union no VAT is charged.
Please login to your account before browsing and ordering and you will see net prices if your shipping address is outside the European Union.
If you are outside the European Union please note that your packages may be subject to the customs fees and import duties of the country to which you have your order shipped. These charges are always the recipient's responsibility and we do not have any information about customs fees and import duties.

No, for companies with valid VAT ID outside Austria within the European Union no VAT is charged. There is no need to refund the VAT later as the store will not charge it, you will get the VAT immediately refunded in the checkout. Please make sure that you create an account or login to your account and save your VAT ID there before you order.
To use a VAT ID a customer account is required, so please do not checkout without account.

Wollerei - Shipping and Order Tracking

Please refer to our shipping costs page for the details of the costs associated with various countries and shipping carriers.
This shipping info page is linked as well at every product in the store.

Yes!
EXPRESS shipping is only offered for orders with a maximum weight of 15 kilogram. As EXPRESS shipping is a pure airplane service, the costs depend on weight and size/volume of a parcel. The calculated shipping weight for your order is shown in your shopping cart before you select an shipping option. Please note that EXPRESS shipping means EXPRESS transit times. It does not necessarily mean, that if you order today you will get your parcel tomorrow or after tomorrow. We will ship your order within the delivery times indicated at every product ("ready to ship in xxx days"). But the shipping itself is much much faster. While the transit time e.g. for the US with normal shipping is up to 15 business days, the transit time with EXPRESS shipping is 2 business days only! Especially outside Europe please expect longer transport times as indicated due to the current COVID-19 pandemic. We have no influence on the transport time, these are not normal times!

Please refer to our EXPRESS shipping costs page for all details about Wollerei EXPRESS shipping.

We ship insured and trackable only. We could not guarantee anything if we would ship with an uninsured and untrackable letter. Most magazines can be shipped only as parcel due to weight and size anyways.

Please login to your customer account to be informed about the status of your order. If you checked out without an account, your order confirmation email provides a link to verify the order status using order number and email address. Please check your emails for our order status update emails. Check your spam folder as well.

We also have sent you this tracking information via email. Watch out as well for emails from DHL, DPD or GLS for additional tracking and delivery options.

Wollerei - Gift Certificates

Wollerei gift vouchers you can order normally as other items of our store. You can find them in the category Gift Certificates. Our gift certificates are purely digital, nothing is sent. You buy a credit, so to speak, which you then give to someone else.
Please note that ordering and redeeming gift certificates is only possible with a Wollerei customer account. Therefore, log in before ordering or create a customer account in the course of ordering. Once the order of a Wollerei Gift Voucher is completed, the value will be credited to your personal Gift Voucher Account. We will inform you about this by email. In your personal shopping cart and in your customer account you will see the available balance of your gift certificate account. In addition, a link appears with which you can then forward the credit to friends and acquaintances by email.

To send a gift voucher, you only need to go to our Gift Vouchers - Shipping page. You will find the link for this in your personal shopping cart and in your customer account.
When sending a gift certificate, you must then specify the following data:
the name of the person to whom you want to send the gift voucher
. The email address of the person you want to send the gift certificate to
. the amount you would like to send (NOTE: you do not have to use the entire amount of the gift certificate account.)
a short message to the recipient
To avoid errors, please make sure you have entered all the information correctly. You will have an additional opportunity later to review your information before sending the gift certificate.

If your Gift Voucher Account has credit, you can use it to buy other items in our store. During the ordering process, an additional input field will appear.
. Please enter there the amount you want to withdraw from your Gift Voucher Account.
. Please note that if you want to enter a non-round amount, do not use a comma, but a period. So 10,50 euros would be entered as 10.50!
If the order value exceeds the balance in your Gift Certificate Account, you can choose the payment method you would like to use for the difference.
. If the order value is less than the balance in your Gift Certificate Account, the remaining balance in your Gift Certificate Account will of course be available for further purchases.

When receiving a gift voucher by email, it will tell you the sender, the value of the gift voucher, and a short message from the sender. The e-mail also still contains the gift certificate with a voucher code.
. We recommend that you print out your gift certificate for later use.

You can now redeem your gift certificate in two ways:

By clicking on the link included in the email, which will take you directly to the gift certificate page. In order for this gift certificate to be valid, if you do not already have one, you will need to create an account with our store. Once you have successfully registered, the funds from your Gift Certificate will be transferred to your personal Gift Certificate Account. From now on you can use this credit for your purposes.

During the checkout process, you can also enter the gift certificate code on the page where you specify your payment method. Enter your personal voucher code and finally click on "Redeem". After a quick check to see if the code you want to redeem is valid, the funds will be added to your personal Gift Certificate Account. From now on you can use the amount for your purposes.

For any queries regarding the Gift Certificate System, please contact the store by email at shop@wollerei.at. Please make sure you give as much information as possible in the email.
