TRACKING SHOWS RECEIVED, BUT I NEVER RECEIVED MY ORDER
This could happen when items are sent to workplaces. Most of the time it has been delivered to a different company or a colleague. When this happens you can request a proof of delivery certificate by the courier. Please note that we do not refund orders that are tracked as delivered. We recommend shipping your items to a secure address.
We aim to meet our delivery promise, but delays and changes can happen.
FROM WHERE DO YOU SHIP YOUR ITEMS?
We have our own warehouse in the Netherlands. Our employees do their best to pack your orders as soon as possible.
late or lost orders
When you place an order, please make sure you have filled in the correct delivery address. Don't Waste Culture is not responsible for any missing parcels that have been sent to a wrong address, or that were left with neighbours or outside your house at your request.
Please email us at shop@dontwasteculture.com if any items are missing or lost. We'll start an investigation with the courier, so we can't refund any lost items until 20 working days after dispatch for the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany, and 30 working days for international orders. Our courier must classify the items as lost before we can refund or resend your items.
Returns and refunds
REFUNDS
We offer free shipping in the Netherlands on orders over €80, and internationally above a certain order amount. Every return is registered and processed via Returnista from our return portal and sent back to us with the Returnista return label created in the portal.
Original shipping charges are non-refundable: if you paid shipping costs for your order, these are not part of your refund. You are responsible for the return shipping costs, unless you choose store credit or exchange for a different size. In both cases, we cover the return shipping. With store credit, we also add an extra €5 to your store credit.
We process returns within 7 days of receiving them. We'll contact you once we've received your return and refund the product costs.
RETURN FROM SALE
Sale items can be returned but they will be credited as gift cards.
The gift card comes in a code and has no expiration date.
HOW DO I RETURN/EXCHANGE?
- Enter your order number and email address on the return page.
- Follow the instructions and select the items you want to return.
- Send the items back within 30 days of receiving them.
- If you choose store credit, we cover the return shipping and add an extra €5 to your store credit.

WHAT ARE THE RETURN CONDITIONS ON BUY 1 GET 1 FOR FREE PIECES?
tems purchased as part of a Buy 1 Get 1 Free promotion are considered a single promotional set. Returns or exchanges must therefore include both items together. It is not possible to return or exchange only one item from a Buy 1 Get 1 Free offer.

If it is approved, your refund will be processed and credited to your original payment method within 10 working days of approval.
HAVE YOU RECEIVED MY RETURNED ITEMS?
Once the shipment arrives at our warehouse you'll be notified. We are not responsible for returned parcels that go missing. We process returns normally within 7 days of receiving them.
Please note: busy times after a sale, it could take some extra days.
what items are returnable?
You can return your items within 30 days of receiving your order. Register your return and send the items back within these 30 days. The date you hand your parcel to the carrier counts, not the date it reaches our warehouse. Returns sent after this period will be rejected and sent back to you.
