Why can shipping costs vary in price?
It is good to realize that transport is not free for anyone. The shipping costs vary from €4.99 for a parcel shipment and from €39.99 when your order is delivered by truck.
It is understandable that you are surprised when you see that a small item can only be delivered by truck delivery.This situation can have two causes. Due many orders in the webshop, all parcel deliveries in your postcode area are already fully booked or there is no stock in the central warehouse. The webshop then automatically indicates the remaining delivery methods, such as a truck delivery. This is sometimes not in proportion to your order.
In that case, you can try again later to see whether time slots have become available with parcel delivery or whether the webshop has stock again. We cannot view this stock forecast for you. Our customer service co-workers have the same information that you can see online.
