Shipping policy
Thank you for shopping with Nicolaas T den Houting. We are committed to delivering your electronics orders accurately, in good condition, and within a reasonable timeframe. This policy outlines our handling process from the moment you place an order until the parcel arrives at your door, and explains what to do if something goes wrong during transit.
1. Order Processing Time
After we receive your order confirmation, every order is processed within 1-5 business days, excluding weekends and holidays. Our warehouse team picks each item, checks its contents against the order slip, seals the parcel and hands it over to the carrier. During sale events or high-demand periods, the order queue may grow longer, and processing times can be extended beyond the usual window. Should any delay affect your delivery, our customer service team will contact you in advance by email. Orders placed after the daily cutoff on a working day, or on a non-working day, are counted from the next business day.
2. Shipping Rates and Delivery Estimates
The shipping charge for your order is calculated automatically at checkout based on package size, weight and the destination country, and the total fee is shown before payment is finalized. Estimated delivery times: Standard Shipping: 15 business days. These delivery times are estimates only and may vary due to carrier delays, customs clearance, weather conditions, logistical constraints, public holidays in transit or destination areas, or remote delivery zones. Once your parcel is dispatched, its transit speed depends on the postal and courier networks along the route, which are outside our direct control. Please plan your order accordingly, especially around peak shopping seasons.
3. Shipment Confirmation and Order Tracking
When your order has been shipped, a shipment confirmation email is sent to the address you provided at checkout, containing your tracking number and a tracking link. Tracking details typically become available within 24-48 hours after shipment, since the parcel first needs to be scanned into the carrier's sorting system. If the tracking page shows no movement during this window, please wait a little longer before contacting us, as the information is still updating. After the tracking number is activated, you can follow each step of the delivery online until the parcel is handed to you or left at your chosen delivery point.
4. Incorrect Address Disclaimer
Double-check your shipping address at checkout before submitting the order, making sure the street name, house number, postal code, city and country are all complete and correct. Nicolaas T den Houting is not responsible for orders delivered to incorrect or incomplete addresses provided by the customer, because the carrier follows the address exactly as it was entered. If a package is returned to our warehouse because of an address error, reshipping fees may apply to cover the new delivery cost. If you realize you made an address mistake immediately after ordering, email us at once and we will correct it only if the parcel has not yet left our facility.
5. Lost or Damaged Packages
In the rare event that your package is lost in transit, please contact us within 2 days of the expected delivery date so we can file a trace request with the carrier and begin a search for your parcel. If your order arrives damaged, with broken components, missing parts or cosmetic defects, please contact us within 24 hours of delivery and attach clear photos of the damaged items, the included accessories and the outside box, including the shipping label. We will review the situation, compare it with our dispatch records, and work to resolve the issue as quickly as possible through the most suitable option for your case.
6. Product Care and Usage Notice
Each electronic product comes with its own user guide, and devices should be operated, charged and maintained according to those instructions. Keep your product away from heat sources, direct sunlight, damp environments and liquids, and use only chargers and cables that match the device's specifications. Nicolaas T den Houting is not responsible for damage caused by improper charging, water exposure, accidental drops, opening the casing yourself, or any other misuse of the products. For daily care, wipe the surface with a dry soft cloth, avoid harsh chemicals, and disconnect the charger when the battery is fully charged to preserve its lifespan.
7. International Shipping and Customs Notice
When a shipment crosses borders, customs duties, taxes or import fees may be charged depending on the destination country's regulations. These charges are levied by the local authorities, are the responsibility of the customer, and are not included in the product price or shipping cost you paid at checkout. We cannot predict the exact amount, because customs offices calculate fees based on the product type, declared value and local tariff rules. If the parcel is not collected from the postal office, or the customs fees are refused, the shipment may be returned or destroyed, and no refund can be issued for the order or the original shipping cost.
8. Contact Information
For any questions about this Shipping Policy, your current order, tracking status, a delayed parcel, a damaged delivery or a return request, please reach out to our support team, and we will reply during business hours. To speed up our response, please include your order number, the product name and a brief description of the issue in your message, together with clear photos if the concern is about the condition of the parcel. We handle every customer inquiry in the order it is received and will do our best to help you resolve the matter without unnecessary delay.
