Ordering
How do I place an order?
Place the product of your choice in the shopping cart by clicking on the "Add to Cart" button. Then click on "Go to checkout" to pay. Enter your details and follow the steps. Only when you click on the button "Checkout order" your order is final.
Can I have my order delivered to a different address?
Yes, this is possible. During the ordering process you can provide us with a different delivery address while entering your personal details. The invoice will be sent to the specified e-mail address. The delivery will contain only the products (no invoice).
Unfortunately, you cannot add a personal message to the order.
Can I also collect my order?
Yes, this is possible. Click here for our address details and more information.
Will I receive a message when I have placed an order?
You will immediately receive an order confirmation. If you pay the order immediately you also receive the invoice immediately. You will receive the shipping confirmation with track and trace when we have given your order to our carrier.
Can I change or cancel my order?
As long as you have not paid for the order, there is no need to change or cancel the order. Simply place a new order. The old order will be cancelled automatically after a few days.
If you want to change or cancel a paid order, we advise you to contact customer service as soon as possible.
Can I order a product that is not on your website?
If you want to order something that is not on our website any more, we advise you to contact customer service. Then we can tell you if the product will be back in stock soon.
Can I order as a business?
That is possible! Simply enter your company name in the check-out. Is the company located in the EU but outside The Netherlands? Then also fill in the VAT number. We will then provide you with a VAT reverse charge invoice.
Can I get a discount if I place a large order?
Yes! The discount is automatically calculated in the shopping cart.
- 0 - 4 products = 0 % discount
- 5 - 9 products = 5 % discount
- 10 - 19 products = 10% discount
- 20 - 29 products = 15% discount
- 30 - 49 products = 20% discount
- 50 - 99 products = 25% discount
- 100+ products = 30% discount
Each hammock, hanging chair and stand counts as one product. Accessories are not counted but are not excluded from the discount. The discount is based on the regular retail price. Promotions and (bundle) discounts do not apply.
How do I see if a product is in stock?
The online store always shows the current stock and prices. If there is no order button on the product page, the product is no longer in stock.
We cannot say when the product will be back in stock. The products are produced in South America, Asia and Europe. Delivery times are very difficult to predict. It can take weeks to months. We therefore recommend that you choose an alternative. We also cannot reserve products for you in advance.

How does payment by bank transfer work?
You choose "bank transfer" in the ordering process; in the next screen you will see the payment specifications, which you will receive after confirmation by e-mail.

Klarna performs a data check to approve your request to pay later. Klarna maintains a strict privacy policy as described in its privacy statement. If your request for Pay Later is unexpectedly not authorized, you can of course pay via one of our other payment methods.

Are all payment methods processed equally quickly?
All orders are processed immediately after payment. If ordered and paid for before 16:00 on business days, it will be shipped the same day.
An order paid for by bank transfer usually takes 1-3 business days. Choose one of the direct payment methods when you want to receive your order immediately.
Delivering
What are the delivery costs of my order?
⚠️ Update: We always ship your order on the same working day. The delivery companies also do their utmost. However, due to the enormous workload of the delivery companies there may be a delay. Especially for large boxes (hammock stands), you should take a delay into account.
Please send us an e-mail if after 5 days + normal shipping time no delivery has taken place.

When will my order be delivered?
If you have placed your order and paid on weekdays before 16:00 hours, we will process your order the same day and hand it over to the carrier. For delivery times per country see the list above.
Did you choose payment by bank transfer? Then your order will be handed over when the payment is received. Usually this takes 1 to 3 days.
You will receive the Track & Trace by e-mail. When your order has been scanned in the first sorting centre, the track and trace will become active. Normally this is after 20:00 on weekdays.
How do I see if a product is in stock?
The stock status is stated on the product page. If the product is not in stock, you will receive an extra message in the shopping cart screen.
What happens when I order multiple products with different delivery times?
We wait until the order is complete so that we can send it to you in one go. If you would prefer to receive one product earlier, place two separate orders.
Who delivers my order?
Almost all deliveries are carried out by DPD and GLS. They will deliver your order during the day to the delivery address indicated by you.
If you have any problems with the delivery, please contact the carrier directly or contact our customer service.
DPD UK: Visit website, call 0121 275 0500
DPD IE: Visit website, call 090 64 20500
GLS IE: Visit website, call 018 606 200
What happens if I am not at home during delivery?
If you are not at home at the time of delivery, the carrier delivers your package to the nearest parcel shop or will come again the next day.
A notice left in your (e-)mailbox or on the track and trace page indicates at which parcel shop your package has been left or that they will come again next day.
You are responsible for picking up your parcel on time at the parcel shop. If you do not pick up the parcel within five days, it will be returned to us. We will then deduct €6.95 / £6.95 from the amount to be refunded.
Can I arrange a delivery appointment?
Unfortunately it is not possible for us to arrange a delivery appointment. We are fully dependent on the carrier and the driving route.
In most cases you will receive a time slot when they will come by. It is also possible to give new instructions at that time. Such as drop-off permission or delivery to a parcel shop.
If you give a drop off permission then you are responsible for the parcel. You cannot hold us or the carrier liable for missing, stolen or wet parcels.
Can my order be sent directly to a parcel shop?
That is possible. Choose "Parcel shop delivery" in the checkout as shipping method. You will see a map with the parcel shops around the address you entered. Click on the picture of a parcel shop of your choice and click on 'Choose this collection point'. The data will be displayed in the Checkout screen and you can complete the order further.
The shipping address remains unchanged on our order confirmation, but the address of the parcel shop is indicated on the track and trace.
You are responsible for picking up your parcel on time at the parcel shop. If you do not pick up the parcel within five days, it will be returned to us. We will then deduct € 6.95 / £6.95 from the amount to be refunded.
Some parcel shops close during the holiday periods. It is therefore possible that a parcel shop is no longer active at the time of dispatch. We will then automatically send the parcel to your home address.
My package has not been scanned for days?
Check your email and spam folder to see if the carrier has asked you for new delivery instructions.
We always ship your order the same working day. Sometimes the package is not scanned the same day, but only a few days later in the country of destination.
It is good to know that the hammock season coincides with the spring peak and the holiday period. In the spring, the carriers are extra busy because of the many large garden items that are ordered. There is simply less space in a delivery van. Even in the summer when the delivery drivers take their well-deserved vacation, it is complicated for the carriers to complete the planning. This may delay your package.
Send us an e-mail only if there is still no new scan after 5 days.
My package has been delivered but I have not received anything?
It sometimes happens that you receive an e-mail that the package has been delivered, but that you have not received anything.
Officially, you as the recipient always have to sign. In practice, deliverers sometimes want to choose a different solution and do not always pass this on correctly.
Go through the following steps:
- Check your email and spam folder to see if the carrier has sent you additional information.
- Check whether the package has not been returned and has been delivered to us in the Netherlands (return).*
- Check your mailbox for the package or a message from the carrier.
- Look around the house to see if the package has not been placed under a carport or in an open shed.
- Ask your family members if they happened to receive the package.
- Ask your neighbors if they have received the package.
If the above is not the case, please contact the carrier first. Often they can help you immediately. For example, they have the GPS location where the status has been changed by the delivery person.
DPD UK: Visit website, call 0121 275 0500
DPD IE: Visit website, call 090 64 20500
GLS IE: Visit website, call 018 606 200
Can't the carrier help you further? Please contact our customer service at.
Is the package really lost? Then the carrier will always ask you to fill in and sign the following form so that they can start an official investigation: download form. You can already send the completed form so that we can act faster.
* Has the package been returned to us? We automatically transfer the money back to your account within 10 days, you will receive an email from us about this. You can also send us an email with instructions to send the package again.

How do I return my order?
You can request a return label via the link below:
EU countries: Request a EU return label.
United Kingdom: Request a UK return label.
Switzerland: Request a CH return label.
Returning a shipment from Switzerland? Attach both the return label and customs documents (3x) to the outside of the package.

Can parcel shops refuse my return?
Not all parcel shops accept large parcels. If you wish to return a large parcel with our return solution and it is refused by the parcel shop, you will have to find yourself another parcel shop.
Our experience is that this almost never happens, only sometimes with the return of our largest hammock stands.
You can always choose to return such a parcel on your own initiative. However, the direct costs for returning the parcel yourself will be at your own expense.
Can you collect the return from my home?
This is usually possible but we do charge a fee for this service. The minimum fee is €14, but this depends on the size of the packages. Request a pick-up.
How do I return an Amazon order?
Login to your Amazon account and register your return. We can not process your return if it is not registered via Amazon. You must follow the return policy at Amazon at all times. This may mean different terms and conditions or higher return costs.
How quickly will my return be processed?
When you return a product, it will be handled and processed within 5 business days. You will receive an e-mail from us when we have processed the return. The full purchase price, including any shipping costs for forwarding, will be refunded to your account number as soon as possible and no later than 14 calendar days after cancellation. If you only return part of your order, the costs for delivery will not be refunded.
We will pay you back with the same payment method with which you made the original transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any case, we will not charge any costs for such reimbursement. We may wait with reimbursement until we have received the goods back, or you have shown that you have returned the goods, whichever occurs first.
In order to exercise the right of withdrawal, you must inform us in writing, by post, fax or e-mail to revoke the agreement. For this purpose, you can use the EU Sample Form for Withdrawal (PDF), but are not obliged to do so. Using the links above is easier and faster.
