Frequently asked questions

Is this series about one particular game?

No. These slogans suit any long evening, any holiday and any break. They work just as well next year.

How long does delivery take?

Items are printed after you order and usually arrive in 5 to 8 working days, to home addresses in Germany only. We do not promise a fixed date.

Is the leave request real?

No, it is a joke template. Request your real leave the way your workplace requires.

Do I get the digital products right away?

Yes. They are ready a few minutes after payment. The order page explains your right of withdrawal for personalised items.

Do you ship outside Germany?

Not at the moment. Printed items ship within Germany only. Digital products work anywhere.

Not legal advice. The leave request template is meant for a laugh and does not replace a request at your workplace. Seller: Cards and Supplies, Armin Müller, Bayreuth, Germany. Terms · Withdrawal
