Our Online Shop is available again from now on.

The most important changes:

1. Distribution is now being done by our new member Stefan Schauf (Doc of Desire).
Hence our new postal address is:

Stefan Schauf
Schoetmarsche Str. 25
32791 Lage
Germany

Oliver Förster (Poison) who took care of Protovision’s distribution for over six years, stays member of Protovision and still takes care of organization as well as our website.

2. For orders under 20 Euros we have to charge a low order fee of 3 Euros. Within Europe, shipping is free for orders over 20 Euros. For orders outside of Europe, shipping costs will be charged according to the weight.

3. Because of tax changes, German VAT will be listed from now on. Customers from outside of the EU don’t have to pay VAT.

4. Not all items are available yet. These will follow step by step.

Problems within the order process are possible. Troubles while ordering? Questions? Please send us an email via our contact form or use contact@protovision.games.

Happy shopping!

We have now moved over to our new service provider. While the site seems to be working fine, there are still a few issues with our Online Shop. Please note that it may take a while before you can use it to place orders.

Our contact and order email addresses are currently working, most other Protovision email addresses are still awaiting reactivation. Both the contact and order email addresses are forwarders, so please don’t panic if you receive an error message saying that the address does not exist, as your emails will be received by us without a problem.

Somewhen in March/April we are moving to a new server. We will give you more information about a possible downtime as soon as possible.
Stay tuned for more news.
