HOW TO SHOP

In our store, there's no obligation to create an account. You can simply add items to your shopping cart and just as easily empty it – we don't keep track of which items you are considering until you actually place an order.

Don't fret if you happen to make a mistake or decide to make a change – you have the opportunity to adjust or cancel throughout the entire ordering process, right up to the checkout. Once your order is confirmed, you'll receive a confirmation email from us with your order number, and as soon as your order ships from our warehouse, you'll get a second email confirming that your order is on its way.

To shop at Alittlebirdtoldme.nl, you must be 18 years or older. When you place an order, you agree to a purchase contract and our terms and conditions. The prices indicated on the website include statutory VAT but exclude shipping costs. For orders delivered outside the EU, this statutory VAT isn't included; it will be calculated by local customs and will need to be paid upon delivery. We have no control over these costs, as they are legally determined by the destination country.

Within the Netherlands, orders of €30 or more qualify for free shipping, and for Belgium, it's orders of €50 or more.

DELIVERY

Your order will be dispatched on the first working day following your order placement. However, for some products, there may be a longer delivery time, and these are marked as [PRE ORDER]. Each product provides a clear indication of the expected shipping period. You can find more information about pre-orders under the 'PRE ORDER' section.

You will receive a shipping confirmation with tracking information once your order has left our warehouse. Within the Netherlands and Belgium, you can expect your package to be delivered the next working day. For other countries within the EU, delivery typically takes about 2 days, and for international shipments, it may take up to 10 days from the date of dispatch.

Orders will be delivered by UPS or PostNL to the address you provided. Anyone present at that address at the time of delivery can accept the package. If no one is available, the package will be taken to the nearest UPS depot or PostNL post office, where you can collect your order.

PRE ORDERS

To enable product reservations, we offer the option of pre-orders. Items available for pre-order are not currently in stock, but we anticipate having them available shortly (in limited quantities). This provides you with the assurance of reserving the product before it is in stock.

For each product, you will find a clear indication of the expected shipping date under the 'SHIPPING' section. Occasionally, deliveries to us may experience some delays due to unforeseen circumstances, but we will always keep you informed. If you place multiple products in a single order, they will be shipped together in one parcel once the pre-ordered item is in stock.

You can download the return form here if you haven't received one or have misplaced it. Please be aware that return costs are not reimbursed. Keep in mind that the responsibility for the goods lies with you until they are delivered to us, so we always recommend requesting a shipping receipt or keeping track of the shipping information.
