Frequently Asked Questions

Can German-style pickles made in America be as good as German imports?

Yes! German sausage makers like BavariaSausage.com have long dispelled the myth that quality German products cannot be made in America. It is no different with pickles. When the Kruegermann family fled communist East Germany and started pickling in California, they preserved their traditional ways. This commitment guarantees American-made pickles ar at par with German imports. Excellent weather and soil in California's Central Valley provide for first-class fresh ingredients for Kruegermann products.

When will Spreewaldhof GetOne! Pickles be available again?

Importing pickles is very costly and has to be prepared well. We intend to import Spreewaldhof GetOnes! again sometime in 2012, but cannot guarantee it.

Why is shipping so expensive?

FedEx and UPS charge shipping rates by weight. Shipping costs per glass drop quickly with bigger orders. Please feel free to experiment and add more products to your order to see shipping costs go down to acceptable levels.

Do you have fixed package sizes?

No. The warehouse hand-picks and packs every order. You can mix up any combination of products. What brings shipping costs down is the number of glasses, regardless which product you order.

Why are shipping charges different on Amazon?

You can buy our products here on this Web site, or on Amazon.com. Amazon charges a fee per order, resulting in higher handling costs. Amazon also uses their own shipping cost calculation method independently of the actual shipping costs we incur. Even though we charge the same product price here and on Amazon, your total price for an order may differ slightly.
