Why no free shipping?
This is very simple: Your goods are always packed with the greatest care and securely for you, to get your package with goods intact and without worry. In addition, we also have to take into account heavier weights and the processing and packing of your order takes more time and attention. The costs incurred for processing and shipping must be paid one way or another. Most online shops pass on these costs as a kind of surcharge in the selling price of the products. We could easily make our products all just a little bit more expensive and thereby pretend that we do not charge shipping costs - as usually happens with other webshops.

However, we think this is unfair because in this way customers who order multiple items are penalized by actually being charged double shipping costs. The webshops that do not charge shipping costs, thus earn without you realizing it, on the 'no shipping costs'...
We prefer to keep the costs open and honest!

Our shipping costs are always calculated in the shopping cart according to an address in Belgium or other countries within Europe and this according to weight and size of the items. If you still have questions about our shipping costs, you can always contact us by e-mail.

6. Complaint Procedure

7. Legal warranty

e apply to the delivery of goods the minimum legal warranty of two years, if the good is not in conformity with the order placed.

To the extent possible and reasonable, you shall have the choice between repair or replacement. Only in the event that the repair or replacement is excessive or impossible or cannot be carried out within a reasonable period of time do you have the right to demand a price reduction or rescission of the sales contract.

If the defect or fault becomes apparent within six months of delivery, it will be deemed to have already existed before delivery unless we can prove otherwise. After six months, you yourself will have to prove that the defect was already present at the time of delivery.

8. Right of withdrawal
