Welcome to our FAQ page, where you will find answers to the most frequently questions related to our products and services. Here, we are committed to providing you with all the necessary information to help you make informed decisions about how our products and services can meet your needs. Read below to learn more about our policies, processes, and much more!

How does the shipping of the items work?

SHIPPING CONDITIONS

When you make a purchase from BUDWING, the shipping expenses are already included in the final price. The delivery costs are automatically calculated based on your shipping address and are adjusted accordingly when you add or change products in your order.

Before confirming your purchase by clicking the "Place my order" button, please review the contents of your shopping basket to ensure accuracy in terms of products, quantities, and personal information. All costs associated with your order, such as selected products, availability, delivery cost, additional fees, and taxes, are clearly listed in your basket.

The transportation company will deliver the items to the specified location via standard methods. However, please note that BUDWING sells bulky products that may cause challenges for access to your property or home. Deliveries cannot be made at high levels, such as through building facades or interior courtyards, and the transport company will not utilize any pulley systems to bring the package indoors. It is the customer's responsibility to check if the items can be successfully delivered to their home or dwelling. In the event that special circumstances prevent the delivery, you may request cancellation of the order. However, please note that the cost of returning the items or utilizing a crane or lift (subject to availability and budget in the respective area) will be supported by the customer.

IMPORTANT: The delivery service DOES NOT include FURNITURE home delivery, as the items will be dropped off in front of the specified address (in front of the building/gate). Additionally, assembly services are not included.

To cancel or modify an order, please send an email to info@budwing.com or contact us via phone at (+351) 964 589 587. These are the only approved methods to block an order.

IMPORTANT: Orders can only be modified or cancelled if they are not already in the preparation process.

In case of returns not attributable to BUDWING, where the initial purchase received free shipping promotion or any other type of promotion, the customer will be charged a deduction for shipping costs based on the quantity, weight, or number of products being returned.

Shipping costs may vary depending on the delivery address, weight, and overall volume of the ordered products. 

**We do NOT ship to the islands. If you wish to have your order delivered to a freight forwarder, kindly note that the delivery address provided must be the address of the mainland freight forwarder, while the invoice address should be the final delivery address on the island. After placing your order, it is MANDATORY that you contact us via email at info@budwing.com.

 

 ON DELIVERY

Once the consumer receives the products, they assume full responsibility for any loss or damage. Therefore, it is crucial to:

- Verify that the number of boxes delivered matches the quantity stated on the delivery note. If there is a discrepancy, please make a note of it on the delivery note itself. Failure to do so may void any replacement or claim for the goods.

- In the event that the goods received do not correspond to your order or have been damaged during transportation, it is mandatory to indicate this on the delivery note. This step is a MANDATORY condition to proceed with any claims related to transportation damage.

 

DELIVERY DETAILS

BUDWING ships to customers in Continental Europe, including Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, Belgium, and other countries. The estimated delivery time will be provided prior to completing your purchase and typically ranges from 2 to 10*† business days, depending on the delivery location and type of product. Please note that home delivery and assembly services are not included.

 Deliveries are scheduled on business days between 9:00 AM and 5:00 PM.

The delivery time may vary for each item in your shopping basket.

*The indicated delivery dates for each product are always calculated based on working days.

Please be aware that deliveries may experience delays during promotional weeks such as Black Friday, due to the high volume of orders.

 For private customers in the aforementioned countries, the prices stated on the invoice include the currently applicable VAT rate, corresponding to 23% of the total invoice.

For companies conducting business in European Union countries with an intra-Community operator number, the invoice prices are exempt from VAT. This exemption also applies to companies located in Spain but operating at the EU level.

PRODUCT WEIGHT AND VOLUME

The shipping costs increase with the higher quantity of items ordered.

It is important to note that shipping costs can vary based on the product's size, even if the delivery address remains unchanged. For instance, a table incurs higher shipping costs compared to a chair due to its volume and weight. Similarly, products of equal size can have different shipping costs due to variations in weight caused by the materials used during manufacturing.

To ensure your peace of mind, all shipments from BUDWING are fully insured against all risks to safeguard your order. With this insurance, we guarantee replacement or corresponding compensation, depending on the situation, in the event of any transport-related damage. If you receive a damaged product, please refuse delivery, make a note of the damage on the delivery note, and notify us via email at info@budwing.com. These measures must be followed to avail the insurance-covered guarantees.

 

In case your order arrives in perfect condition but is later discovered to be damaged after unpacking, please refer to the "WHAT SHOULD I DO IF IT ARRIVES DAMAGED?" section on our website for detailed instructions and procedures.

How can I return an item?

RETURN POLICY

There are multiple reasons why products may be eligible for return. It is imperative to consider specific conditions based on the type of return.

1. RETURN FOR PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL:

Upon receiving your order, if you are not satisfied with it, you have the option to return it by exercising your right to withdraw within 14 calendar days from the delivery date. 

The withdrawal period commences on the day you, or a third party designated by you, other than the courier, physically possess the product. To initiate the withdrawal process, kindly follow the steps below: 

  1. Contact our customer support service through email at info@budwing.com and via WhatsApp to (+351) 964 589 587. Please state the reason for the return and attach photos of the packaging.
  2. Check the boxes of the product to be returned + quantities. 

 IMPORTANT:

To ensure acceptance of the return, it is crucial that the product is in the same condition as when it was delivered.

The product should ideally be returned in its initial packaging and sealed, just as it was when it arrived. In case this is unachievable, it must be diligently packed to prevent any damage during transport. Additionally, the product must be in perfect condition, without being dirt, stained, with odors, mistreated or damage. Please also be aware that opting for this second choice may occur in an additional cost.

IMPLICATIONS OF PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL: 

BUDWING will reimburse any payments received from the consumer, including delivery charges if applicable, and in any case within 14 calendar days after being informed of the decision to withdraw from the contract. However, BUDWING has the right to delay the refund until the goods are received or the consumer provides proof of return, whichever happens first. 

The refund will be processed using the same payment method as the consumer used for the original transaction, unless the consumer has specifically requested otherwise and doesn't i

ncur any expenses as a result of the refund. 

However, if the consumer has chosen a delivery method other than the cheapest standard option, we are not obligated to cover any additional costs related to that choice. 

OBLIGATIONS AND LIABILITY OF THE CONSUMER IN CASE OF WITHDRAWAL OF PURCHASE: 

The consumer is obligated to promptly return the purchased products to BUDWING, ensuring the products are received no later than 14 calendar days from the date the customer communicates their decision to withdraw from the sales contract. The consumer's compliance with this deadline will be considered met if the goods are returned within the 14-day period. 

If the product has not been shipped from our warehouse, cancellation is free of charge.
If the product has already been dispatched, a return fee will be charged which will be applied to the final price of the order, based on the percentage below:

Portugal - 10%
Spain - 20%
France 20%
Italy - 20%
Germany - 20%
Netherlands - 20%
Belgium - 20%

To ensure the ongoing speed and performance improvements, it is necessary for consumers to bear responsibility for any decrease in the value of goods resulting from their handling, beyond what is necessary to ascertain their nature, characteristics, or functioning.

EXCEPTIONS TO THE RIGHT OF PURCHASE WITHDRAWAL:

The right of withdrawal of purchase does not apply to contracts involving:

- The provision of unreturnable sealed goods for health and hygiene reasons, which have been unsealed after delivery.

- The supply of goods specifically tailored to the consumer or clearly personalized.

 

2. RETURN DUE TO PRODUCT BREAKAGE/DAMAGE DURING SHIPMENT:

Customers must inspect the goods upon delivery.

- APPARENT DAMAGE: If any package or box is received with damaged packaging during transportation, it is mandatory to indicate this on the delivery note in order to make any claim for breakage or damage during transport. Failure to do so will result in rejection of the claim.

If a third party receives the goods, the buyer is responsible for informing the third party to conduct the necessary checks. You, as the buyer, accept liability for any loss or damage if someone signs on your behalf and fails to perform the required checks.

 - HIDDEN DAMAGE (the box appears to be in good condition upon delivery, but damage is discovered upon opening): The incident must be reported to BUDWING as soon as possible upon receiving the goods, so that BUDWING can address the issue with the transport company.

If any obvious damage to the delivered goods during transportation is observed, it is imperative to promptly notify both the courier and BUDWING. This notification does not affect warranty claims but facilitates BUDWING in asserting its own claims against the supplier.

To proceed with the following steps:

  1. Contact our customer support service through email at info@budwing.com and via WhatsApp to (+351) 964 589 587. Please state the order number, the reason for the return and attach at least 3 photos (including packaging and the damage).
  2. Check the boxes of the product to be returned + quantities. 

IMPORTANT:

The product should preferably be returned in its initial packaging and sealed, just as it was when it arrived. In case this is unachievable, it must be diligently packed to prevent any extra damage during transport. Please also be aware that opting for this second choice may occur in an additional cost.

 

For situations where a product has not been received, the shipped product differs from the order, or it fails to meet the requested specifications as displayed on the website, the customer must inform BUDWING of the incident. In cases where the product sent does not match the customer's order, BUDWING will cover the cost of collecting the incorrect product and delivering the correct one.

To proceed with the following steps:

What should I do if it arrives damaged?

DAMAGED ITEMS

Upon receiving your order, all responsibility for loss or damage is transferred to the consumer. With this in mind, it is important that you:

  • Verify if the number of boxes delivered matches the delivery note. If this condition is not met, you should refuse the order and contact us via email at info@budwing.com. If you accept an incomplete order, it will not be possible to request a replacement or file a claim for the missing items.

  • If you notice that the received merchandise does not match your order or is visibly damaged due to transportation, you should refuse the order and contact us via email at info@budwing.com. If you accept the damaged merchandise and the item inside is also damaged, BUDWING reserves the right not to provide any form of compensation.

After contacting us, regardless of the refusal situation, we will work with you to find the best solution to resolve the issue, which may involve sending a new item at no additional cost.

 

Important: If you accept the delivery of a product that comes with damaged or non-compliant packaging, BUDWING reserves the right to not provide any compensation, as the responsibility passes to the consumer for accepting the order in its current condition.

 

If your order has arrived in perfect condition and in the desired state, and yet it is damaged or has any issues, please contact us immediately* via email at info@budwing.com, providing the following information:

- Order number and registered name;

- Description of the problem (damage, incorrect item, missing parts, or any other issue);

- Provide photographic evidence of the problem (minimum of 4 photos and/or 1 video in the case of mechanical issues);

- Send a photograph of the tracking label located on the bottom of the item (it is a rectangular label with technical information about the product itself).

 

*You have 30 days from the receipt of your order to contact us in case of damages or other issues. After contacting us (within this timeframe), it is important to stay vigilant and cooperate to resolve the problem. If 14 days pass after your complaint and we do not receive any further response from you, we will consider the case closed due to lack of contact.

 

 

All this information is mandatory for us to proceed with the complaint and resolution of the problem. BUDWING reserves the right not to provide any compensation if the customer does not cooperate.

After providing all the necessary information, we will analyze your case and present you with the available solutions (depending on each case), which may include the following:

  • Item exchange: You should pack the item in boxes (original or others, at the customer's expense) and inform us that the item is ready for collection. We will arrange for its collection, and upon confirmation from our carrier, we will send you a completely new item at no additional cost. This is the fastest and most convenient way to receive the item in good condition, without significant delays or issues.

  • Part replacement: You should identify the specific part you want to replace (using the assembly manual) and inform us accordingly. We will produce the replacement part and send it to you as soon as it is ready for replacement. This process may take between 2 to 3 weeks as it involves the production of an additional component. Once you receive the new part, you can dispose of the old one.

  • Return and refund: If you indeed wish to return and cancel your order, you should pack the item in boxes (original or others, at the customer's expense) and inform us that the item is ready for collection. We will arrange for its collection, and upon confirmation from our carrier, we will proceed with the refund for the item. The refund will be issued through the same payment method you used and may take a few business days.

 

Exceptions/Non-returnable items

Certain types of items cannot be returned, such as perishable products (such as food, flowers, or plants), customized products (such as special orders or personalized items), and personal hygiene products (such as beauty products). We also do not accept returns of hazardous materials, flammable liquids, or gases. Please contact us if you have any doubts or concerns about your specific item.

Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns for items on sale or gift vouchers.
