Updated DHL surcharges

We implemented the updated DHL surcharges for the month of May in the YiffyToys shop.
Note that these are only surcharges that DHL charges on top of the regular shipping prices.
To be completely fair to everyone and charge exactly what DHL charges.
(Because if we don’t, ultimately all customers together pay the difference.)

Energy surcharge

DHL reduces the „energy surcharge“ from 2.50% to 1.25% as the effects of the Russian war in the Ukraine diminishes.
This surcharge is published by DHL monthly.

Crisis fees

DHL lowers the „crisis fee“ for:

  • Australia from 3,70€/Kg to 3,50€/Kg,
  • Canada from 2,05€/Kg to 1.95€/Kg,
  • USA from 2.35€/Kg to 2.15€/Kg
  • Chile from 3,9€ to 2,8€,

… It’s a long list.
They also lower the „crisis fees“ for some entire lists of countries like „zone 4“ from 1.5€/Kg to 0.35€/Kg

DHL Sweden+Finnland fuckup

am 20.04.2023 haben wir Sie über die Berechnung der Haustürzustellungen in Schweden und Finnland seit
Januar 2023 informiert. Dabei ist uns leider ein Fehler unterlaufen.
Die Zusatzkosten für eine Haustürzustellung werden Ihnen entsprechend Ihrer aktuellen Preiskonditionen
bereits ab Januar 2023 für eingelieferte DHL Paket International Premium Sendungen in Rechnung gestellt
und nicht wie fälschlicherweise kommuniziert erst ab dem 01.05.2023.“


DHL wrote that they informed people on the 20th of April about a new fee for Sweden and Finnland effective since January. …spot the mistake.

A delivery by Exotic Erotics just arrived

Stock status

3 of 128 Exotic Erotics models, are currently still not in stock.

New Toys

We are also working on having some additional toy sizes added to our shop as soon as possible.

Custom toys

We do offer custom toys to be included in the next order.
Please contact us early and we’ll create a custom product for you to order as soon as the next shipment leaves the factory and we place our own restock order.

(Yes, postings in the category „Disturbing Dildo Deliveries“ are basically copy&pasted.
There is just nothing original to write about such a thing but many people are waiting
for toys of a specific manufacturer to come in, so it’s important we post these.)

Improved credit card payments

We updated the credit card payment module to a new major version.

For customers:

it should be much faster now and
„will issue invoices, receipts, and other customer facing emails to that customer with an appropriately translated email, payment page, or PDF. 15 languages are currently supported.“

For us:

„No more pending orders for card payments and other synchronous payment methods. When a payment fails, there won’t be a Pending/Canceled order in the admin area.“
and
„95% reduction in incomplete payments in the Stripe dashboard. When customers arrive at the checkout page, no payments are created in „Incomplete“ status.“

DHL updates in shop

We updated to a new major version of the DHL integration.
(After fiddling with dependencies for a while.)
For customers, the following changes should be visible:

  • On the pickup location finder map in checkout, if available, show description of the building/facility etc. a service point is located within.
  • Select „Named Person Only“ service with DHL Paket National shipments.
  • Select „No Neighbor Delivery“ service with DHL Paket National shipments.

New delivery by Exotic Erotics on it’s way

You know the drill…
A new delivery of Dildos by Exotic Erotics (English / German) is on it’s way.

We expect it to arrive in 10 business days (including customs).
Then we just have to count, label and sort it for the new stock to be available in our shop (English Shop / German Shop).
When that happens, we’ll report here again.
If you want to track this delivery, you can do so here, if you are eagerly awaiting some toy to be in stock again.

Custom Dildos:
For a few days now, it will be possible to order custom variation again. Just contact us via email, stating all the details like colour and firmness. Then we’ll provide you with a custom product that can be ordered exactly 1 time via the regular ordering process. The only  difference is that it obviously takes longer to ship and we require it to be fully paid right away. Also for custom made products there is no 14 day return period.
