At Radical Design, we highly value our customers and their satisfaction. We aim to ensure that every purchase you make with us perfectly aligns with your expectations and needs. That's why we offer an extensive range of high-quality products and provide personalized advice to assist you in making the right choice. We understand that free shipping and returns are common standards in online shopping. Therefore, we would like to explain why we have consciously chosen not to offer them, while fully understanding your needs as a valued customer
Free delivery is not a feasible option, as evidenced by the experiences of hardworking truck drivers under immense time pressure and overworked parcel delivery personnel who strive to deliver your webshop orders to your doorstep free of charge within one day. Due to the significant discounts imposed by large companies, it is challenging for delivery drivers to receive fair compensation. Hence, offering free shipping is not an option for us.
Additionally, at Radical Design, we strive to sell as sustainably as possible. This is reflected not only in our product range but also in our service. We always reach out to customers who have ordered multiple sizes, colors, or mismatched items to ensure that the right choice has been made. This significantly reduces the likelihood of returns, which is better for the environment and helps keep shipping costs as low as possible. If you're unsure about the size or which bag or accessory you need, feel free to email or call us. Additionally, we have a workshop where you can view a product and receive personalized advice without the need for shipping (by appointment only). We hope you'll join us in making a positive impact on the environment.
We have great confidence in the quality of our products and aim to inform our customers clearly and accurately about their characteristics and specifications. We want our customers to make informed decisions when making a purchase. By not offering free returns, we encourage customers to choose consciously and prevent unnecessary returns of products.
Cost Control and Affordable Prices Offering free shipping and returns can be a significant financial burden for a seller, especially for a company offering high-quality products. These costs can ultimately lead to higher prices for the products or other concessions, which may affect customer satisfaction. However, we strive to maintain affordable prices so that you can enjoy our quality products without extra costs. Your satisfaction is of great importance to us! For optimal service and customer satisfaction, we charge a shipping fee of €10 for shipments within the Netherlands; outside the Netherlands, it's €15. This allows us to process orders carefully and ship them sustainably.
Small Shipments
While some items may seem small, we cannot send them in a regular envelope or at a lower shipping rate. This is because 95% of our shipped products are too large to fit through a mailbox. To ensure that your order arrives safely and on time, we have chosen to provide all our packages with a shipping label via reputable carriers such as DPD (for EU+UK, NO, CH) and POSTNL (worldwide). Unfortunately, shipping via regular postal services with a stamp is not an available option. We understand the importance of a reliable shipping method and strive to deliver your order as efficiently as possible.
We take pride in offering you personal service and advice. We want our customers to be satisfied with their purchases and ensure that they choose products that truly meet their expectations. Not offering free shipping and returns encourages customers to carefully consider their purchases, making them more likely to choose products that truly suit them and that they will enjoy using. We hope you understand why we don't offer free returns. Our goal is to create a conscious and positive shopping experience in which we can contribute to a more sustainable future. For certain items, it is possible to view, rent, or pick them up in our workshop. To make an appointment, please contact our customer service.
If you have any questions or need assistance with anything, please don't hesitate to contact us. We are always here for you, our valued customer! Thank you for choosing Radical Design; we truly appreciate you!
