Orders & account

Back to top
Do I need an account for a European delivery?

You can use guest checkout for orders to European delivery countries. An account is needed if you want to join the VIP programme.

How do I access my European order details?

Open “My orders” in the account area of the shop where you ordered. Without an account, refer to your order email or contact our team.

What if the order email has not arrived?

Look for the order email in your spam folder too. If it is still missing, write to the team and include the email address you entered for the order.

Which number should I quote for an order enquiry?

Have the number from your order details ready for an enquiry. You can find it in the order email or in your account.

Until when can an order be changed?

Write to the team as soon as possible about the change you need. Changes are possible before dispatch; your order number helps us check.

How do I request cancellation before dispatch?

Send your cancellation request directly to our team. An order can be cancelled while the goods have not shipped; after dispatch, follow the return guidance.

How do I correct a delivery address already entered?

Ask the team about an address correction straight away and include your order number. Whether it is still possible depends on dispatch status.

What should I check before submitting the binding order?

Check the delivery country and address especially carefully in the order summary. You can correct your details until you submit the binding order.

How do I regain account access after forgetting my password?

The login page of the relevant shop lets you reset a forgotten password. For access problems, ask our team without sharing your password.

Shipping & delivery

Back to top
What are the shipping costs to European delivery countries?

Shipping to European delivery countries costs €19.90 with DHL. From an order value of €350, this shipping charge is waived; checkout shows the amount charged by the shop.

What is the free-shipping threshold for European parcels?

For deliveries to our European shipping countries, the free-shipping threshold is €350. The shipping charge for your order appears before you finish buying.

What delivery time should I allow outside Germany?

Allow 3–7 working days for European delivery addresses. The delivery time shown during checkout and parcel tracking provide information about your order.

Where is my parcel-tracking code?

Your dispatch email contains the tracking code for your delivery. You can also retrieve it in your account’s order area if you ordered with an account.

How do I enquire about an outstanding delivery?

For an outstanding European delivery, send the team your order and parcel numbers. The current tracking status helps us investigate your enquiry.

Who helps when the tracking status stays unchanged?

Include the last tracking status and parcel number in your enquiry. The team checks the delivery against your order rather than estimating a new date.

Payment

Back to top
How can I pay for my European order?

European orders are intended to support PayPal and Pay Later, cards, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Klarna and bank transfer. Use the options shown at checkout for your delivery country.

What determines the payment options offered?

The delivery country and individual order determine which options checkout offers. Our team can help with questions about a missing payment option.

Is invoice payment available for delivery outside Germany?

Invoice payment for approved customers is not offered for deliveries outside Germany. Choose one of the payment options in the European checkout.

Which reference should I use for a bank transfer?

Transfer the payment using the supplied instructions and your order number as the reference. Your European delivery is dispatched after the transfer arrives.

How long does an unpaid order remain?

The shipping and payment information provides for automatic cancellation if no payment arrives within 14 days. If you have already paid, please ask the team.

How do I report a payment error?

For a payment error, the checkout message and your order number help our team. Please do not include passwords or full payment details.

What should I do if more than one payment amount appears?

Tell us which order shows more than one payment amount. The team checks the transaction and payment method; the FAQ cannot initiate a refund.

Which costs does the displayed total price include?

The shop shows total prices including statutory VAT. Also check the shipping charge for your European delivery address in the order summary. Deliveries outside the EU may incur additional import duties or bank fees. Bank fees may also apply to payments made from outside the EU even when the delivery address is in the EU; see the terms.

Returns & complaints

Back to top
Which withdrawal conditions apply to European deliveries?

The withdrawal policy generally states 14 days from receipt of the last item. Its additional non-EU clause combines several conditions: no affiliation to an EU member state, and sole residence and delivery address outside the EU when the contract is made. An address outside the EU alone does not meet this clause; read the conditions or ask the team about your case.

How can I send my withdrawal notice?

Clearly inform us of your decision to withdraw, for example by email. Your shop’s linked policy also contains the model form and full conditions.

Is the model form compulsory?

You are not required to use the model form. A clear notice to us is also possible; use the linked withdrawal page for the form and conditions.

What is the return deadline after valid withdrawal?

After valid withdrawal, send the goods back within 14 days of your notice. Dispatch before the deadline is what counts; the goods need not reach us within that period. Keep your dispatch proof.

How are withdrawal return costs handled?

The policy assigns the direct cost of a withdrawal return to you. For a complaint, we recommend coordinating separately with the team so the cost question can be checked for your case.

How do I obtain the correct return instructions?

Before returning your European order, ask for the appropriate return instructions. The team identifies them using your order number.

How should I package my return?

Pack your return securely, preferably with its original packaging and accessories. A valid withdrawal remains possible without the original packaging.

How is repayment after withdrawal handled?

Repayment following valid withdrawal runs from receipt of your notice: no later than 14 days, usually via the original payment method. Withholding until receipt of the goods or proof of dispatch is provided for, whichever happens first.

Which outbound delivery costs are included in repayment?

For complete withdrawal, the policy provides for refunding standard outbound delivery costs. The surcharge for a more expensive delivery option you chose is excluded.

What does an opened hygiene seal mean for withdrawal?

If a hygiene seal is removed after delivery, withdrawal rights may end for the goods described in the policy. Ask the team to assess your item; the exception does not cover every opened product.

How do I report damage when goods arrive?

For goods arriving damaged, send the team your order number and photos. Please also inform the carrier of obvious transport damage; your defect rights do not depend on doing so.

Who should I contact if the delivery differs from my order?

Tell us what is missing from the delivery or differs from your order. Your order number lets our team investigate and clarify the case with you.

Which information helps with a product complaint?

For a complaint, we need the order reference and a description of the problem. Our team checks the case under the terms’ defect provisions and agrees next steps with you.

VIP points & tiers

Back to top
What does VIP require for European orders?

VIP uses a registered account and your voluntary participation. Orders without an account login or as a guest do not receive VIP points.

How are points calculated for orders with VIP participation?

European orders also use the base rate of one point per euro of order value when you participate in VIP. Your account is where to check credited points.

When are my VIP points scheduled for release?

Dispatch and payment are required for releasing your points; the VIP information specifies 17 days afterwards. The team checks your order if there is a discrepancy.

Which point thresholds determine the VIP tier?

VIP point thresholds are 250 for VIP-BRONZE, 1,000 for VIP-SILVER, 2,500 for VIP-GOLD, 5,000 for VIP-PLATIN and 10,000 for VIP-DIAMOND. Your account shows your applicable tier.

Are VIP points a payment method?

VIP is a tier system: your balance determines your tier. It is not cash credit and is not used as payment for an order.

Where do I check how to apply my tier benefit?

Your account shows the VIP information that applies to you. Use those details for your tier benefit and how to apply it, or ask our team.

Which offers are excluded from the tier benefit?

Already reduced items and special offers are excluded from the tier benefit. Check the VIP information and your account for the conditions applying to your order.

Where can I check my points’ expiry date?

Refer to the expiry date in your account. The rule is one year without new points; complete expiry also ends the associated VIP tier.

Can a cancelled or returned order change my VIP balance?

A return or cancellation can change your VIP balance because the order’s points are corrected. Include the order number for a specific credit query.

Where can I stop my voluntary VIP participation?

Participation remains your choice and can be ended in your account. Contact our team if you need help with the account setting.

What does earlier access to releases describe?

In the VIP information, early access means earlier access to certain releases. Refer to the information published for the individual release.

Delivery country & language

Back to top
How should I choose the correct shop for ordering?

Choose the shop by delivery address: hookain.eu and hookain.es serve the offered European countries. A German delivery address belongs on hookain.de.

Which destinations does the European country selection cover?

Our European country selection covers the EU excluding Germany, plus Iceland and Liechtenstein. Check the delivery-country selector for your destination; Switzerland is not served.

Where should I order for an address in Germany?

Delivery to Germany is ordered through hookain.de. Switch there for that address before putting your order together.

What happens to my basket when I switch to another shop?

Switching to another shop does not carry over your basket or login. If you only choose another language within the same shop, the shop notice says both remain.

Where can I read the European shop pages in my language?

The European pages are available in English and German on hookain.eu and in Spanish on hookain.es. Your delivery country remains the deciding factor for ordering.

Which product areas are part of the European range?

The European range focuses on hookah hardware and lifestyle: hookahs, bowls, charcoal and suitable accessories. Find current items in the categories and shop search.

Hookahs, bowls & accessories

Back to top
Which tool helps me choose hookah hardware?

The hookah advisor is available for the European hardware range. If unsure between models, ask our team with the specific model names.

How do I choose a bowl for my existing hookah?

The bowl category shows the available designs and item details. For fit with your hookah, tell the team the model and the bowl you are considering.

How do I search for parts for my series?

Search the spare-parts finder for your brand and series. If the match is not clear, the team can help using the details of your existing model.

How can I check bowl and heat-device compatibility?

For a compatibility enquiry, the team needs the exact bowl and device names. Pictures alone do not replace a confirmed match between the two items.

Where can I find model-specific care guidance?

Care depends on the specific hardware model. Follow its manufacturer’s instructions and clarify missing information with the team before cleaning.

How do I find accessories for my hookah setup?

Charcoal and accessories are part of the European hardware range. Search by item type or tell us the combination you need with your hookah.

Where do I check an item’s included components?

Use the included-components information on the item page to plan your setup. Our team helps clarify the model and components needed before you buy.

How do I check an item’s current status in the European shop?

Check the item directly in the European shop for the prices and availability shown there. Ask our team if the status is unclear.

How do I compare items with a stated reference unit?

Where an item shows a reference quantity, its unit price gives the cost per reference unit. Use the same unit on item pages when comparing.

Vouchers

Back to top
When must the voucher have been applied?

Enter your voucher during checkout. Check that it has been applied before confirming the binding order; the terms do not provide for applying it after that point.

Which conditions should I check after a voucher error?

Acceptance depends on the voucher’s conditions, especially its period and excluded items. Send our team the checkout message if an error occurs.

What can a gift voucher be used for?

Under the terms, gift vouchers are redeemed for goods rather than converted to cash. The voucher rules contain the details about your balance and its validity.

Contact & privacy

Back to top
Which contact channel should I use for my enquiry?

The contact form in your shop sends your enquiry to our team. Alternatively, use kontakt@hookain.de and include the relevant number for order questions.

At which German local times is telephone help available?

Telephone support is available Monday to Friday between 11:00 and 17:00 in Germany on +49 221 999 88 112. Allow for the German time zone when calling.

How do I get a team response through chat?

Chat is currently not enabled in the European shop. Use the contact form or email for a personal team reply, usually on the next working day.

How can I contact you if the chat widget is not loaded?

If the chat widget is not loaded, the chat button leads to the contact form. You can also ask by email; the shop’s chat consent is not bypassed.

Is newsletter consent required for a service reply?

A service reply does not require a newsletter subscription. Optional newsletter consent concerns the subscription, not whether your question is handled.

What should I send the team and keep out of chat?

Your order number and a description help us identify your enquiry. Confidential login and payment details and ID documents do not belong in your chat message.

Who handles personal-data questions?

Clarify personal-data questions directly with our team. The linked privacy notice contains the responsible contacts and information about your rights.

Our team helps with questions about your order. Have your order number ready.
