4. Orders and payment
4.1. Can I change the order I have placed?

Only when your order has not yet been shipped, you can cancel or change it. It is best to contact us by phone: 085-0074247. 

4.2. How can I pay?
  • The iDeal payments are handled by our partner Mollie. For foreign customers, it is possible to pay via Bancontact or SOFORT Banking.
4.3. I had something in my shopping cart and when I wanted to pay it was suddenly sold, how is that possible?

Unfortunately a piece is not reserved as soon as it is in your shopping basket. This is only the case when you are actually in the payment module of your bank. 

4.4. Something went wrong with the payment, but now I can't buy the piece

Since we mainly have unique pieces, a piece will be reserved for you as soon as you are in the payment module. If something goes wrong with the payment, the piece will still be reserved for you. When you log in to your account, you will see it with your orders. By clicking on it you can complete the payment.

4.5. Did my order succeed, because I have no confirmation?

Is your order in your account, then it succeeded. It is possible that the order confirmation ended up in the spam box or that you entered your email address incorrectly. By logging into your account, you can change your email address.

5. Delivery
5.1. When will I receive my order?
  • After receiving your order, we will carefully parcel the ordered item. This is done manually and can, depending on the circumstance, take some time. We will do our utmost to realize the promised delivery time. If we are not able to achieve that, then we will of course inform you accordingly.
  • In addition to a format which fits in your mailbox, there are two parcel formats which can be delivered by parcel service. In case your object exceeds the largest size of a parcel service, you can collect the object yourself. We can also have it delivered by a moving company at your expense (we will first send you a quotation for the price).
5.2. Which delivery options can I choose from?

Through our partner Sendcloud we ship our parcels with PostNL. The cost of shipping is slightly higher than what you might be used to. This is because we send the objects registered and insured. Some objects are too big to send by regular mail. Therefore you have the choice to pick up the purchased object at our depot in Hoofddorp, to arrange your own carrier or to let us make you an offer for transport.

5.3. Do you also ship abroad?

We offer the possibility to ship to almost all countries worldwide. The shipping costs will be calculated automatically as soon as you fill in your address details when placing your order.  

Some items are too big or too valuable to go with the parcel service and need to be picked up at our depot in Hoofddorp or the applicable museum.

5.4. I have to pick up my purchase, how does that work?

If a piece is too big for regular mail, it has to be picked up. Soms of the items are located in our depot in Hoofddorp, occasionally it may still be at the museum itself. Send an email to [email protected] or call 085-0074247 to make an appointment to pick it up.
