Don't worry. If you are not at home or at your place of business when your order is being delivered DPD will leave a note and will automatically try again the next working day. If the second delivery attempt is unsuccessful, your order will be sent to the nearest pickup point for you to collect at a later moment, DPD will leave a note with instructions. Please note that your order will be kept there for 1 week maximum. After that the order will automatically be returned to our warehouse.
Of course! During the ordering process you can define an alternative delivery address in the checkout. When you have chosen an alternative delivery address, the order and packing slip will be sent to this address. On the packing slip no prices are mentioned.

Unfortunately our warehouse is not set up to receive customers for the collection of orders. If you want to have your order delivered at a parcel pickup shop, please talk to our customer service.
Yes, this is possible but in our experience it can be quite difficult. This is due to the fact that a lot of (bigger) events employ strict security measures regarding goods coming into the event. Also our shipping partners can often only deliver up to the entrance of the event. If you want to have your order delivered at a festival, event or fair, please contact our customer service to see which options are available.
The standard delivery days of DPD are Monday through Friday. In the Netherlands and Belgium DPD also offers Saturday delivery though this is not a standard option. We have noticed that a lot of deliveries on Saturday are not successful. DPD often skips addresses and delivers on Monday or delivers straight to a pick-up point. Sunday deliveries are not possible unfortunately.
Due to the customs and tax regulations, as well as the necessary paperwork, we cannot offer delivery in Switzerland and Norway. We do however offer the option to send your order to a packing station at the French, German, Austrian or Swedish border from where you can import the goods yourself. Please contact our customer service to make the necessary arrangements.

Yes, all disposables and packaging we sell are biodegradable, they are also compostable which is even better. For example, plastics made from oil do not degrade but only disintegrate into more smaller particles. These particles are known as micro plastics. With composting, in an industrial composting facility, the product biodegrades in 9-12 weeks into water, CO2 and biomass, leaving nothing more behind. For more detailed information on the compostability of our products, please read more here.
Our products can be discarded in a few different ways. We encourage customers to discard our products together with food scraps through organic waste streams. That way our products are composted and it will close the loops. Please check with your local waste collection company what their rules are concerning certified compostable products.
If composting is not possible you can decide to discard our products though the regular household waste. This waste is usually incinerated. Because our products are made from natural raw materials, the raw material absorbed the CO2 as a plant. When our products are incinerated they emit no toxins and the CO2 is compensated from when it still was a plant.
Our products are biobased or compostable according to the European standard for compostability: EN-13432. This means that our products will fully degrade, in an industrial composting facility, within 9-12 weeks. Read more about the EN-13432 compostability certification here.
