Sending and returns

The costs of sending are at the expense of the customer and are charged. The articles that you ordered are dispatched on working days after receipt of your payment. At every product in our webshop, you can see whether it is in stock at that moment.

If you order one or more articles that is registered out of stock, the whole order will be reserved until all articles can be sent off at once. On your request, however, the articles being in stock can be sent off directly. You will be charged for costs of sending two times then.

If you order a product which is out of stock at that time, the delivery period of the product will be a bit longer, with an average of 10 working days. If a product appears to be undeliverable for a longer period than two weeks, you will be informed about this situation as soon as possible. We will then send the stock articles immediately and discuss with you whether we will send the missing article later on our costs, or if you rather want to cancel. Of course we will credit you with the amount of the cancelled article on your account as soon as possible.

Products which are produced or ordered especially for you are an exception. Supply of this always takes place in mutual consultation.
