Furniture Delivery

How is furniture delivered in the Netherlands?

Furniture from our Dutch stock is generally delivered by our own Akomo Kids delivery team.
Some furniture may be shipped directly from the supplier or manufacturer and delivered on a pallet by a specialised freight carrier.

How is furniture delivered outside the Netherlands?

Furniture to Germany and other European countries is generally shipped directly from our supplier or manufacturer.
We do this to avoid transporting large furniture items twice, helping to reduce transportation costs and unnecessary transport movements.

Why is an item in stock but the international delivery time is longer?

Our physical furniture stock in the Netherlands is primarily intended for the Dutch market.
International furniture orders are generally fulfilled directly by our suppliers or manufacturers. Therefore, the international delivery time may differ from the stock availability shown for the Netherlands.

Can you ship furniture from your Dutch warehouse abroad?

Yes, where possible.
If you need an item urgently and it is physically available in our Dutch warehouse, please contact logistic@akomokids.com.
We can often arrange a separate international pallet shipment. Additional pallet shipping costs will apply.

What does pallet delivery mean?

Pallet delivery is curbside delivery.
The carrier delivers the pallet to the nearest safely accessible point at your delivery address.
The carrier does not carry the furniture inside your home, deliver it to another floor, unpack it, assemble it or remove the pallet and packaging.
The customer is responsible for moving the furniture inside and disposing of or recycling the pallet and packaging materials.

Will the driver take the pallet and packaging back?

No. Unless explicitly agreed otherwise, the carrier does not remove pallets or packaging materials.
The customer is responsible for disposing of or recycling these materials after delivery.

Can my furniture order be split into multiple deliveries?

International furniture orders are generally shipped as one complete delivery.
If one product has a longer delivery time, the remaining furniture may be held until the complete order is ready.
Partial deliveries may be possible upon request. However, additional pallet or freight shipping costs will apply.
Please contact logistic@akomokids.com to discuss the possibilities.

Do you assemble furniture?

We offer assembly for selected furniture and collections within the Netherlands.
Whether complimentary assembly is included depends on the product, collection, delivery location and purchase conditions.
Please note that complimentary assembly may not apply when a substantial discount has been granted.
For questions about assembly, please contact logistic@akomokids.com.
Assembly is generally not included with international pallet deliveries.

Returns

How long do I have to return my order?

Eligible products can be returned under our voluntary 30-day return policy.
Our voluntary return policy does not affect your statutory consumer rights.

How do I return a parcel?

Customers in the Netherlands & Germany can register eligible parcel returns through our Return Portal.
Customers from other countries are responsible for arranging their return shipment with a local carrier.

Who pays for return shipping?

Return shipping costs are generally the responsibility of the customer unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable consumer law.

Can personalised products be returned?

Personalised or custom-made products cannot generally be returned when they have been produced according to your individual specifications.

Can hygiene-sensitive products be returned?

Return eligibility may depend on whether protective seals, hygiene seals or protective packaging have been opened or removed.
If you are unsure, please contact logistic@akomokids.com before returning the product.

Furniture & Bulky Product Returns

Can I return furniture?

Furniture and bulky products cannot be returned through our standard parcel return portal.
Under our voluntary return policy, furniture can only be returned if it has not been unpacked and remains in its original, unopened and undamaged packaging.
Please contact logistic@akomokids.com before arranging any furniture return.

Who is responsible for returning furniture?

The customer is responsible for arranging the return transport for furniture, oversized parcels and pallet deliveries.
The customer is also responsible for the associated freight and transportation costs unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law.

Can I return furniture after opening the packaging?

Under our voluntary return policy, we only accept furniture that remains unpacked in its original, unopened packaging.
Furniture that has been unpacked, assembled, installed or used cannot be returned under our voluntary return policy.
This does not affect any statutory consumer rights that may apply to your purchase.

How much does it cost to return furniture?

Furniture requires specialised freight transport. Return costs can therefore be considerably higher than regular parcel shipping.
The customer is responsible for arranging the return shipment and checking the applicable transportation costs.

Can I send furniture back to your warehouse myself?

Please do not return furniture, oversized parcels or pallet shipments without contacting us first.
Contact logistic@akomokids.com and our team will provide you with the applicable return instructions.

I didn’t receive an order confirmation, what should I do?
