How can I return something as a private customer (within the EU)?
If your purchase does not meet your expectations or is different than you wish, you have the right (the so-called. Right of withdrawal) to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day after receipt of your order. This is allowed without giving any reason. (However, we appreciate it if you can tell us why you want to cancel the purchase so that we understand the situation). This is also called the cooling-off period.
Below you will find the 6 steps of the return procedure for a return within 14 days:
- Always register your returns in advance by email to our customer service. You do not have to state the reason for the return, but we would appreciate this so that we understand the reason and, if possible, can improve our service or offer.
- You will then receive a return number by e-mail within one working day, stating what you can return and instructions.
- We request that you pack the item as well as possible, preferably in an outer box and add a copy of the e-mail with the return number, where you also write down your account number to which we can transfer the credit amount back. If you have received an item from us in a package without an outer box, you can return it in the same way.
- Send your article with proper packaging to the address you received with the return number.
- The shipping costs are for your account, unless we have delivered you the wrong product.
- After receipt at our location you will receive a message from us about the further settlement.
PLEASE NOTE: an item must be returned undamaged. You have the right to view the article as far as possible - a box may of course be (carefully) opened, the packaging and inner packaging must remain undamaged if possible. When returning the item, try to pack it as well as possible in, for example, an outer box. Preferably only use transparent adhesive tape when you want to seal a package for return.
Note When you have received permission for return (via a return number), this does not automatically mean that will be credited. After inspection upon receipt, it will be determined whether the order will be credited. You will then receive an email from us with the steps for further settlement.
Note In case of warranty, the return shipment is based on Carry-In. So, in a warranty situation, you can return the item to us if requested to do so. The costs for return shipment are for your account. You can also return it yourself, you can make an appointment for this by email to our customer service  ;or via contact form. If there is damage immediately upon receipt of the item (so-called DOA), then the costs for the return shipment are naturally for us. The costs for the redelivery of any replacement item are for our account in the case of a replacement under warranty.
