Viele sind unsicher, ob der Kauf einer Bong im Internet rechtlich erlaubt ist. Tatsächlich ist der Erwerb von Glasbongs und Rauchzubehör in Deutschland völlig legal, inklusive Online-Bestellung und verschiedener Zahlungsmöglichkeiten.

It's easy to feel unsure, especially when you fear running into trouble with the authorities. In this case, though, that worry is completely unfounded in most countries. So the question is answered quickly: yes, it is perfectly legal to buy glass bongs and other smoking tools online, because owning and purchasing such an item is unrestricted in most places. Any legal grey areas concern the substances you might use, not the tool itself.
In principle, then, the accessory itself carries no ownership restriction. Buying a bong online simply rules out paying in cash, which means you need a cashless payment method, and reputable shops will only sell to customers of legal age. As long as you are old enough and have a valid means of payment, anyone can order a bong online without breaking any laws. Age limits and the exact rules can differ from country to country, so it is worth checking the situation where you live.

Buying a bong online: payment options

These days most online shops offer an enormous range of payment methods, from A for Amazon Pay to Z for systems that haven't even been invented yet. We cover prepayment, cash payment, credit card and various instant-transfer services, as well as cash on delivery.

A classic that some prospective bong buyers still ask us about is buying on invoice. We don't offer it, though, because a bong is a prime example of a product that rules this out: for hygiene reasons, an already-used bong, pipe or shisha can't be returned. The approach that's normal with clothing, order it, try it on, send it back, simply isn't possible here.

Bong im Internet kaufen - Zahlungsmöglichkeiten

Inzwischen bieten die meisten Online-Shops enorm viele verschiedene Zahlungsmöglichkeiten an, von A wie Amazon Payment bis Z wie Zahlungsverfahren, die noch gar nicht erfunden sind. Wir decken Vorkasse, Barzahlen, Kreditkarte und verschiedene Sofortüberweisungssysteme sowie einen Versand per Nachnahme an.

Ein Klassiker bleibt das Kaufen auf Rechnung, das sich viele potentielle Bong-Kunden auch bei uns gelegentlich wünschen. Allerdings bieten wir es nicht an, da z.B. der Kauf einer Bong ein entscheidendes Szenario für den Kauf auf Rechnung ausschließt: Die Rückgabe einer bereits gerauchten Wasserpfeife, Pfeife oder Shisha ist aus hygienischen Gründen nicht möglich. Ein Vorgehen wie es z.B. bei Kleidung üblich ist, also bestellen, anprobieren und zurückschicken, ist hier nicht möglich.
