Delivery time and shipping
Shipping costs in 2025 at Staartjes en Strikjes
The shipping costs are currently:
Netherlands €2.99 (free from €49.99) for letterbox parcels with track & trace.
Belgium €4.99 for a package with track & trace (free from €59.99).
Germany €4.99 for parcel with track & trace (free from €59.99).
We no longer send letterbox parcels to Belgium and Germany. Experience shows that these are often delivered too late and are also lost more quickly.
Our shipping rate is an all-in rate (e.g. envelopes, labels, postage and VAT).
From January 1, 2020, goods may no longer be sent abroad in an envelope due to an amendment to the Postal Act. This is only allowed as a package and we must also digitally report the contents of all foreign shipments in advance. The costs charged by postal companies for shipments abroad have therefore increased. As a service to our foreign customers, we cover part of these costs.
Why not free shipping?
We are often asked if we can ship the order for free. I would like to explain why we cannot do this. The costs incurred for this must be covered in some other way. Many online stores include these costs in the sales price of the products. This would mean that we would have to increase the prices of our products to make shipping costs free. Instead, we have opted for attractive prices for our products, which are unique and affordable.
We don't want to act unfairly, that's why we offer free shipping above a certain amount. In this way we strive for a good price-quality ratio.
Delivery time
At Staartjes en Strikjes we are not a large mega webshop. We pack your order with great care, attention and love, and do our best to ship it as quickly as possible. We usually ship orders placed on working days within 1 working day (the current shipping time can always be found at the top of our website). During busier periods, such as promotions, school holidays and the months of November and December, the delivery time may be slightly longer, namely 2 to 3 working days. We ship from Monday to Friday.
Do you have an urgent order? Please feel free to contact us via WhatsApp +31 (0)115 82 30 17, so that we can see together how quickly we can ship your order.
Please note that delivery times may differ during public holidays and holidays. Any adjusted delivery times can also be found in your shopping cart, so that you are always aware of the shipping status of your order. In addition, we will also keep you informed of additional information about shipments via our social media channels during busy periods.
Shipping via PostNL, Bpost and DHL
We ship all orders using PostNL, Bpost or DHL. Please note that delivery depends on these carriers and is beyond our control. While next-day delivery used to be common, this can no longer be guaranteed. In practice, we see that delivery can regularly take several days.
If you're placing an order, please take into account the possibility of a longer delivery time – especially if you need your package on short notice.
During busy periods, such as holidays or promotional events, we also prepare orders over the weekend. However, postal services do not process shipments during the weekend. Your order will then be picked up on Monday and processed from that moment onward.
During peak times, it’s important to place your order in time – both for domestic and international deliveries. For international shipping, delivery times range from 3 to 10 working days. Please note that Staartjes en Strikjes is not responsible for any delays caused by PostNL, Bpost or DHL.
I haven’t received my order
