Double check that you entered the correct barcode and postcode. Be sure to select the correct postal service from the list. If you don't know the name of the postal service, select 'I don't know'. If you know the name of the postal service but it's not in our list, send us a message via the app. We will add it to the current list.

A purchase that you send back is a return shipment. Online shops offer that option if the contents of your parcel do not correspond with what you ordered or if the product does not fit or does not meet your expectations. You send your purchase back with the return label from the original sender; the label is either in the package, or you can download and print it at home. If the sender does not provide a return label, then you send it back as a regular parcel. Be sure to check the website of the online shop to see what the guidelines are regarding returning parcels.

For purchases outside the EU with a value of €150 or more, the online shop is not allowed to collect the VAT. This must be done on arrival in Belgium. That is why, in addition to VAT and any import duties, you also have to pay customs formalities for the clearance of your shipment. For this type of shipment the cost is €40. An example: You buy a piece of jewellery for €160 outside the EU. In addition to this, you will have to pay: Import costs: €40 VAT (21%): €41.79 This brings the total cost of the piece of jewellery to €241.79 (= €160 + €40 + €41.79)
