In addition to collective purchasing models, TEIKEI also offers the option to have certain products delivered directly to your door.
This model complements the community-organized structures and provides a simple solution for individual needs.
Home delivery refers to classic individual shipping.
This means:
This model is not intended for all products, but primarily for those that are storable and easily shippable.
Direct delivery is particularly suitable:
This model can also be a good starting point before your own structure develops—for example, in the form of a small group or a micro-community.
Typically, shipping includes:
Fresh products like fruit boxes are generally not shipped individually, as they are part of the collectively organized delivery logic.
Home delivery differs significantly from other TEIKEI purchasing methods:
Instead, the focus here is on individual orders.
Collective models usually enable more efficient logistics and a closer connection to producers, while home delivery primarily offers flexibility.
Since shipping is not bundled, different logistical conditions apply:
This model is therefore less focused on efficiency and more on accessibility and simplicity.
Home delivery is a supplementary purchasing method within TEIKEI.
It enables access to products even without an existing community but does not replace community-supported structures. Instead, it complements them where individual solutions are necessary.
