Frequently Asked Questions

ORDER

Yes, you can add items to an existing order only if it has not yet been packed or shipped.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. Place a new order on our website.

2. At checkout, first select “Delivery” as the shipping method.

3. After choosing “Delivery,” you will see the option “Combine with previous order.”

4. Select this option, enter your previous order number, and check the box confirming you understand the shipping rules.

Please note:

  • The new order must match the shipping season of the original order.
  • If your previous order contains only spring bulbs, your new order can only include spring bulbs.
  •  If your previous order contains both spring and summer bulbs, you may add both types to the new order.
  • Orders cannot be combined if your original order has already been shipped.
  • You must include your previous order number so we can link the two orders.

After you have paid for your order and it has been processed by us, you will receive an invoice from us by email.

The VAT is specified separately on your invoice. You can declare this with your tax return.

This is not a problem. If you want to give the flower bulbs to someone as a gift and therefore want to send them to a different shipping address than your own (invoice) address, you can indicate this in the payment process. Under “payment method” in the step “overview & payment”, uncheck “invoice and shipping address are the same”. You can now specify a different shipping address and complete your order. The recipient of your order will not receive an invoice or price information with the order, these will be sent to you by e-mail.

We do our utmost, but of course it can happen that something goes wrong. If your order is unexpectedly incorrect or if you are not satisfied, you can contact our customer service (info@fluwel.nl). Please state the order number in your e-mail and add photos if necessary.

PAYMENT

If you have chosen the payment method 'bank transfer', you will receive an e-mail from MultiSafepay with further instructions to successfully complete the payment. You will receive this e-mail within a few minutes after placing your order on Fluwel. Also check your spam box (unwanted e-mail) carefully, the e-mail may end up there. If you still have not received an e-mail, you can contact our customer service (info@fluwel.nl).

You can choose another payment method in the payment process to still complete your order. If this does not work, you can contact our customer service (info@fluwel.nl) and we will send you a new payment link.

When we have received your payment we will send you the invoice by e-mail. You will first receive an order confirmation and then the payment confirmation with invoice.

At this moment it is not possible to pay afterwards. Only after payment your order is final and the flower bulbs are reserved for you. If you do not complete your payment within the specified period your order will expire.

DISPATCH

This depends on what kind of bulbs you ordered and when you placed your order. We start sending the orders when the planting season starts. This is usually at the end of September. Orders from Northern Europe are sent first because it is a bit colder there. We wait to send until the planting season starts because our experience is that most people do not have an optimal place to store the flower bulbs until the moment they can be planted. Storing the flower bulbs too moist (or otherwise incorrectly) can lead to disappointing flowering. In our cold store, the flower bulbs are stored under ideal conditions. Once they arrive at your place, they can go straight into the ground. This way, there is no period in which your flower bulb can suffer damage.

We do not ship flower bulbs between the end of May and the end of September. During this period, you can only order bulbs, which we will then store for you and ship as soon as you can start working with them. The rest of the year, your order will be prepared and shipped within 1 to 2 days. We ship your order with a 'Track & Trace' code, which you will receive on the day of shipment and with which your package can be tracked.

We do not send bulbs between December 20 and January 5. During this period we make time for family, friends and relaxation.

We only ship orders within the EU. Should you wish to take the bulbs outside the EU yourself, Fluwel is not liable for any consequences such as quality and correct export documents.

Unfortunately, we cannot provide a message to the parcel delivery person.

You can leave a note with a delivery request when paying for your order. For example: 'please deliver in week 44'. We try to take this into account as much as possible, but cannot guarantee this because we are dependent on the parcel service.

We ship our packages via PostNL. For foreign orders this is transferred to the local carrier. We have no influence on this and can not make a choice for you. You will receive a track & trace link by e-mail as soon as your package is shipped.

Each country has its own shipping costs. It would be easy to increase our prices by 15% (this is about the average shipping costs) and then say: free shipping. But the unfair thing about this setup is that a country like Germany (low shipping costs) has to pay for the shipping costs to Portugal (high shipping costs). This does not feel right to us and that is why we choose for the time being to keep the prices of our flower bulbs low and charge the shipping costs proportionally. You only pay your shipping costs once, regardless of the quantity (in kg) you order.
