Good to know: Did you pay with cash? With returns in our store, we'll pay back an amount of up to € 50 in cash in our stores. Is the amount over € 50 or not paid in cash? We'll refund the amount to your account.
What if I exchange my product for a cheaper or more expensive product?
Cheaper product We'll transfer the remaining amount to your account within 5 days after reception.
More expensive product We'll send you a payment request for the remaining amount. After receiving your payment, we'll ship the product to you.
I've returned multiple products, why did I only get a refund for one?
We process each product separately. This means that a product can be processed earlier than another product, even if you've returned them in the same box. It's possible that you've received your money back from one product, but not for another. In this case, we want to ask you to wait a little longer.
