Should you notice any troubles in the tracking information, kindly reach out to us at hello@theroomantwerp.com.

I've placed two separate orders. Can you ship them together and refund the second shipping fee?

As all orders are being shipped from an external warehouse, we are unable to give instructions for individual orders. In such case we'd recommend to simply wait for your orders to arrive and follow the regular return process.

Can you keep an item aside so I can place my order later?

It is not possible for us to reserve items.

I just placed an order. Can I still change my shipping/billing address?

Unfortunately, we can't alter the shipping address once your order has been placed.

Our backend system does not allow us to change the billing address. Please note that the billing address does not have an influence on your order, as all orders will be sent to the shipping address.

My package was returned to you without delivery attempt. How should I proceed?

Your package might be returned us because of several reasons:

  • After a failed delivery attempt, the package was brought to a pick-up point. After a certain amount of days, if the package is not picked-up by the customer, the package will automatically be returned to us.
  • The delivery address was incorrect. The postal code might be wrong, the city might be spelled incorrectly... In which case the post service will not be able to deliver the package, and they will return it back to us.

All returned packages will be processed in our warehouse and refunded to the customer's original payment method.

Import duties & taxes

Will I be charged with import duties/VAT?

As we ship from Belgium, shipments within the European Union will be delivered duty-free. Please be aware that non-EU countries might charge import duties and/or taxes, if the total value of the shipment exceeds a certain threshold. You can check the threshold for your country here.

Import duties and taxes are not included in the final check-out amount, as they have to be paid upon delivery. DHL will typically send you an email, text message or letter with a payment request. 

Import charges cannot be refunded by The Room Antwerp.

How much will the import costs be?

Unfortunately The Room is unable to predict the exact costs, as this is determined by national tax authorities, and thus different per country.

How can I pay import charges?

Import duties and taxes are not included in the final check-out amount, as they have to be paid upon delivery. DHL typically pays duties and taxes to authorities upon import on behalf of the receiver, and then charges the receiver. You will receive an email, text message or letter from DHL with a payment invitation. 

Will these import charges be refunded should I decide to return my order?

No, import duties cannot be refunded by The Room as these charges are determined and collected by national tax authorities.

What if I don't want to pay the import duties?

Should you refuse to pay import charges, you may notify DHL about this. DHL will then ask us to approve a 'return to origin' procedure. Your order will then be returned to our warehouse, where it will be processed as a regular return. This means that a return fee will be deducted from your refund, to compensate the transportation cost.

Returns

How can I return an item?

We offer a 14-days return period. This means that a return request needs to be made via our online return portal within 14 days after receiving your order. From that moment, you have another 14 days to actually return your order.

To be eligible for a return, your item(s) must be in the same condition that you received them. All instructions, conditions and charges are fully described in our Refund Policy.

How much is the return fee?

Return fees can be found here.

The Room offers free returns for customers who wish to exchange their item for a shopping voucher, or if there has been made a mistake on our side (eg. wrong or damaged item). In all other cases, the return fee is to be paid by the customer.

The initial shipping fee will be included in the refund if the total order is being returned.

Can I exchange my item for another size or item?

If you wish to exchange for another size or another item, we recommend to request a return and to make a separate purchase for the new item. 

When will I be refunded?

Our team inspects all returned packages within 30 days. All items that meet the conditions described in our return policy, will be refunded right away on your original payment method, or exchanged for another size, in accordance with your return request. Kindly keep in mind that it might take some time for your bank or credit card company to process the refund too.
