ORDERS & DELIVERIES
Orders Outside the Netherlands, see 'WHERE DO YOU DELIVER AND IS IT FREE DELIVERY, IF NOT WHAT ARE YOUR POSTAL CHARGES?' for specific amount matrix for exact entry criteria for paid/free shipping.
For orders inside the Netherlands: Order before 4:00 pm, next day delivery (only when there are no delays in the postal service).
Orders within the Netherlands with an order value of EUR 50,00 and higher, you do not pay the shipping costs. The shippings costs within the Netherlands for orders up to EUR 50,00 are EUR 5,55.
Important note for orders in the UK: Due to Brexit please take into consideration you will need to pay import duties and VAT on your purchased items. Value added tax (VAT) has always been required on EU goods. Since Brexit, the way it is applied has changed. Before Brexit, you would have paid the local VAT rate. So if you ordered in NL, you would have paid NL VAT. Now, you pay UK VAT, which is 20%. But for anything under £135, the VAT should still automatically be part of the final price you pay at the online checkout.
When your parcel has left our warehouse, you will receive an email from the courier providing you with a tracking number. You can use this reference number to view the status of your parcel on the courier’s website and view when it’s likely to arrive.
All Netherlands deliveries are made with Post NL couriers. You can use their website www.postnl.nl to track your parcel. If you require any further assistance please speak to our Customer Care team who can contact Post NL couriers on your behalf.
