WorldShop.eu (LH ) Airport Delivery Service
I'm redeeming some Miles&More miles via Worldshop.eu.
I've seen that they provide the "Airport Delivery" service: shop collection and gate delivery.
I'll be in transit in FRA in the next weeks and in particular I'll have a 3h connection, so enough time to collect my gift.
What is not so clear to me is if I can choose between shop collection and gate delivery or I'm obliged to choose the latter because I'll be in transit even if I've a 3h connection so I've all the time necessary to go to the shop and collect my item.
The gate delivery would be helpful but since it costs 5000 miles and I've 3h in FRA it would be nice to self-collect my item.

Many thanks.

3 hours is enough time easily to enter Schengen, pick up your purchase, reclear security and passport control- it is not that much hassle unless you require a visa etc.

You can also skip the ordering in advance and just go to the shop and opt to pay with miles at checkout. If you want to make sure they have the item call them ahead.

As long as you have a passport that allows you to easily enter/exit the Schengen area- why not just request in shop collection?

Furthermore, several times I left the security area and then recleared all the security procedure if I had >1.30h transit times (to meet friends!)!

Exactly that! Seems we're fellow countrymen! But if you read what is described in their site,it seems not possible to manage a shop collection if you're in transit (only if FRA/MUC is your destination)... I think that they will require my PNR and they will see that I'll be in transit. Any idea?

I mean, since it is an electronic product I'm not so sure they usually have it in their store and even if they do, I think they would have only 1 piece available. Since I will be in transit few days before Xmas, probably stocks will be low.
Do you think a call would be sufficient to ensure the product availability?^

edit:
Never mind I noticed shipping for the luggage is only EU/Switerland or FRA/MUC pick up which I don't want to do on my layover.

I know, in this case it's about alectronics, but one thing to consider: if your gifts contain liquids, pickup in the store is not a good option because you can't get liquids back through security.
I just wonder what happens if you order gate-delivery of a corkscrew or a knife set (like https://www.worldshop.eu/product/WMF...oard/1746284?3)...

Since my connecting flight will depart from Terminal 1 | Hall AB | Counter 260-338 | Gate A, this morning I tried to contact WorldShop @ Terminal 1 - Departure level, Hall A:
they replied that I've to make the order through worldshop.eu with airport pick up.
The employee was rude enough.
I will try again this afternoon.
Any previous experience?

I talked to the Worldshop in A about this: the airport delivery option in FRA goes to the Worldshop in landside B.

I think I will directly order my gift since they require 6 days for item availability and furthermore I've 35.000 miles that are going to expire at the end of this month.
In this way I will be sure that my gift will be ready for pick up during my connection in FRA.

UPDATE:
Finally I managed to get my gift: pick up has been a little bit difficult because my flight was in late and the passport custom clearence in FRA has been litterally a nightmare, but luckily the Worldshop was exactly 2-3 minutes after the passport check.
Good service provided by LH Worldshop.
Ps. Frankly I think that a 2.30h connection is necessary at least!
