Addendum: Insured Shipping (Optional)

At FragranceGems, we aim for perfect delivery of your order. During checkout, you have the option to choose Insured shipping.

  • Costs: The premium is 1% of the total order value.

  • What does it include? Although we always ensure safe delivery, this option offers extra protection and an expedited procedure in case of problems during transport (such as loss or damage).

  • Procedure: If something goes wrong with an insured package, we will immediately launch an investigation and, after establishing the problem, immediately offer a suitable solution in the form of a replacement product or a full refund.

DELIVERY AND TRANSFER OF RISK

Delivery procedure
- PostNL delivers the package to the specified address or a PostNL point
- In case of absence: A delivery card with instructions will be left
- Collection: You can collect your package at a PostNL collection point

When does the risk transfer?

The risk of loss or damage remains with FragranceGems until you have physically received the package. This means that we remain responsible for damage or loss during transport.

What does this mean for you?
- Until you receive the package, we are responsible
- If the package is damaged or lost during transport, please contact us
- We will work with you on a solution: replacement or refund
- After physical receipt, you are responsible for the product

MISSING OR DAMAGED PACKAGES

Package not received?

If your package has not arrived within the expected delivery time:

1. Check the Track & Trace: Sometimes your package is with a neighbor or a collection point
2. Wait an additional 2 business days: Transport can sometimes experience delays
3. Contact us: If the package still has not arrived, we will initiate an investigation with the carrier
