Costs

• Processing fee per order: 1.50 euros
• Higher fees may apply for international interlibrary loans (ILV), depending on the supplying library and the shipping costs. These orders will only be initiated after consultation with you.
• Exceptional costs, e.g. express or value shipments as well as any additional costs incurred by the delivery library, which must be borne by the customer, must always be expected.

Important note:
The fee of 1.50 euros per order must also be paid if the Freiberg University Library is found to be in possession of the item when processing the interlibrary loan order or if the order is unsuccessful.

Delivery time:

• approx. 1 - 4 weeks
• For orders from abroad, a longer delivery time may have to be expected
