RETURN AND EXCHANGE - FAQ
Our return procedure is easy and quick for you - because we (also) think there are many other things in life that are far more fun to spend your time on :)
Especially when it comes to looking for a printer (who even has that themselves anymore?), so we have of course made sure that you donβt need one.
The process consists of 3 steps:
All in all, a process from when you create the return case until itβs completed, in less than 2-4 weekdays. And apart from this itβs also easy.

Do you still have questions about the return process?
You are always more than welcome to contact our customer service - they are looking forward to helping you :)
We have made our return system to make it easy and quick for you - but also for us.
As such, we only accept returns sent through this return system with An Post. We hope that you will respect this. In this way the parcel is insured, and we can track it along the way.
The alternative is that we donβt have any tracking on your return, if you ship the parcel back without using the system, and by this the responsibility for the parcel rests on your shoulders.
Apart from this, we donβt know what you want to happen with the return, if you havenβt filled out our procedure.
So it is a win-win when you use the return system.Β
We donβt receive / accept returned parcels sent per C.O.D / to parcel shop.
To keep something you didnβt need / want is annoying and bad for the environment.
So to make stress during returns a thing of the past, we have extended the statutory 14 days period of return to 30 days full period of return, and an entire 365 days, if you want to exchange within the same product category, or a voucher.Β
This goes from the day you receive the product, until the day we receive it here. However we wonβt make a scene if it takes a day or two extra.
The product must, however, still be new and unused.

Of course there is!
All of our products has 2 years warranty.Β
Basically this means that all malfunctions on the product that isnβt directly caused from your use, is covered.
If it was to happen, that your product should break within the warranty / the 2 years, you are requested to send us an e-mail with a picture of the broken product (one of the entire product, and one close-up of the malfunction). If the malfunction is better illustrated with a video, you are also very welcome to attach that instead of a picture.
After this one of our employees will assist you with your problem within 2 hours during opening hours, and at the latest after 24 hours.
If your return is approved on e-mail, you will be informed whether you should ship the product back through our return system for it to be repaired or replaced, or if we just send you a new one right away (depends on the value of the product).
In this process you should also make sure to file a complaint of the malfunction as soon as possible after discovering the malfunction. If you send the complaint within 10 days after discovering the malfunction, the complaint will always be timely.
If you receive a defect product from the beginning, you must inform us right away. Read about the process under βI have received a broken product / my parcel is brokenβ
If your complaint is approved and justified, we will obviously pay for all shipping costs when using our return portal. Remember to ship the parcel back to us in a correct packaging.
Sometimes itβs difficult to stay patient.
But when it comes to your return, we canβt do anything until we receive it from An Post. And you will automatically receive an e-mail the second we do. You can count on that.
When we receive it from An Post, we handle all return parcels within 24 hours from receiving them.Β
We have not yet experienced a single return parcel that has been sent through our return system, that has been lost or not arrived. So all you have to wait - sadly we canβt do anything other than wait until we get the parcel back.
If our return-portal canβt find your order, we recommend that you check if your information is correct.
It must be the original order number, and the original e-mail you write. Apart from this you must remember that the order confirmation number must be written exactly like in your confirmation email - so with # in front and without space to the number.
Apart from this it can be because the right of return can be expired, in which case the return portal will automatically reject your return. So if your order has been placed more than 2 years ago, this will be the reason.Β
If it still doesnβt work after checking this, please reach out to us, so we can help you solve the problem.
We know - gifts that has to be returned can become quite the shenanigans.
And sadly, this is also the case for us when it comes to refunding money to someone elses card - or even a card in your name which is not the same as the one you originally used.
We canβt refund money on a different card than the one that was used originally, due to safety precautions. So it isnβt our own choice - this is just the way it is.
But obviously we have a few other options
The classic question - but donβt worry, itβs super easy and dead simple!
All orders is followed up by an order confirmation, which will be sent on e-mail. You can see what it looks like below.
Here itβs the 6-digit number that starts with β#β (this # is a part of the order number). Your order number could for instance be #123456.
If you canβt find your order confirmation, check the SPAM folder where it could also be.
Alternatively you can find your order number on the shipping label attached to the parcel.
Yes you do - an entirely different order.
Because we actually caught ourselves thinking: βI canβt fit this size, so I need it in a different size. But it takes 3, 4, 5, 6 or maybe 7 days until I receive it, because the one I have need to reach the destination first.. And then what, if they donβt have that size available that I need?β.
We didnβt want to put our customers through that hassle.
So we have made our return system easy - also when it comes to exchanging. We designed it so you simply just place a new order on the website, that we send the same way as we would do with any other order.
Immediately after your new order, you fill out our return portal, where you βlog inβ with the original order number, select βExchangeβ, write your NEW order number in the text field, and ship your original order back to us with the parcel label.
And in the meantime, without us even receiving your return parcel yet, we have shipped you the new order, so you can have it within a day, and when we receive your return parcel afterΒ 1-4 weekdays, we will refund all the money for your original order, meaning you of course only pay for one order.
With an exchange, as we explained above, we pay the return shipping fees, so you can avoid paying the 6β¬. for using the return label, which you would if you were doing a normal return.
Your return as an exchange is only accepted if it actually is an exchange - so from one or more product(s) to one or others within the same product category. So from one swimsuit for girls, to another swimsuit for girls, and NOT from a pair or swimming goggles, to a pair of swimming trunks. In this case itβs just a regular refund. We check this when we receive the returned shipment, where we see if the original order is similar to the new one.
Weβre sorry about that.
Sometimes this happens if you have sent the parcel back in the same packaging, but havenβt removed the original label, or clearly crossed it out.
You have to pick it up again, and make a return code / return label here, and then send it back to us. Just remember to remove any other labels / crossing them out this time.
Of course you wonβt pay for this extra shipment - we can all make mistakes.
Whether or not you have to pay for the return, depends on why you wish to return, and what you want to happen.
No matter why you wish to return, it always happen through our return portal, where all the causes are listed.
But letβs try to list the reasons below, and see the costs that comes along with them:
If you wish to exchange one or more products, the use of the exchange and our return label is perfectly free and without any cost to you. We will refund your entire original order without subtracting the 5β¬.Β
This is obviously our mistake, and therefore the return labels wonβt cost you anything - neither back to us, or back home to you.Β
So to summarize returns:
- Exchange is free
- Regular refund is 5β¬.
- Returning is free when choosing a voucher.
If you have regretted your order after it has been sent, but not yet picked up in the parcel shop, this is sadly not considered a valid return, and you cannot just let it sit in itβs parcel shop and await that it is sent back.
This is because we in this case wonβt have any order information on your return, and what you wish to happen with it.
So, to avoid delays we recommend that you pick up the parcel, fill out our return system, and then send it back to us. This will ensure that you will get your money back or exchanged your item safely and quickly.
Weβre very sorry to hear that! Broken products arenβt nearly as fun, so we will do our best to get everything back in order.
Please send us an e-mail with a picture of the broken product to our e-mail. One of our support employees will contact you to fix the situation.
As long as you are within the 2-year warranty period, and you didnβt run it over with a monstertruck of course ;-)
