The merchandising material is stored in the cellar right below server room 1. To get there you need to ask for the appropriate key at the reception desk. The stuff is, besides a huge pile of empty boxes, in the third chamber on the right. The key for the pad lock is currently stored in a drawer at Christopher Hofmann's desk.

Shipping options

================
25
DHL, best choice for national shippings; still cheap but very slow at international shippings.
26
FedEx or UPS, much more expensive than DHL, but safer and quicker; depending on the destination one of them might be cheaper than the other
