IMPORTANT NOTE

* As the EU Law is changing from the 1st July 2021, we are expecting some delay to deliveries during this period. Why? Because this means that import duty and VAT will be collected a little differently.

Customs authority throughout EU would be transitioning through a dramatic change & as with all system change, there will no doubt be some 'learning-curve' period. The Linea Home team is doing our utmost to get packages out quicker than usual, working longer hours to get packages out earlier to mitigate any potential delay. 

Is Duty/ Import included in the price?

Absolutely! All import duties & VAT have been included in the price. There is nothing worse than having to be surprised with unforeseen extra costs! What you pay at the store is final.

* As the EU VAT law is changing from 1st July 2021, customs are changing the way that VAT is collected. The VAT & Import duties have been declared & paid up front & thus if you somehow receive a bill for these, please email us at hello@thelineahome.nl in the first instance & we will resolve that issue for you. 

Why am I receiving a partial order? 

Since March 2021, we dispatch from 2 locations (Rotterdam & Asia) thus, you will sometimes be receiving your order in multiple packages. When each package is dispatched, we will send an email to let you know what items to be expected & the track & trace code to follow the shipment. So, don't be alarmed when you receive a partial order, check our email first to see if the items expected are correct. If you're still unsure, send chat to us using the Live Chat function or simply send us an email and we'll be able to tell you more in detail!  

*Want to find out a little more detail, go to the 'Why have we split our distribution?' section located further down the page. 

How to use your tracking information?

When a parcel has left our facilities, you will receive an email with the tracking information & link to follow it. There are generally 2 parts of this delivery. The tracking from Asia to your destination country and the tracking from the sorting centre in your destination country to your front door.  

The tracking info would include the 'next tracking numbers' that will inform you which courier & what is the local tracking. You will be able to find out more detail there. Information on how to arrange redeliveries/ pick ups etc. 

We're still working towards a way to give you a clear and concise but enough information to follow your package, meanwhile, if you're unsure, please feel free to drop us a message by using the Live Chat function/ email us hello@thelineahome.nl & we will happily assist you! 

I've missed a delivery, what do I do?

If you're not home at the point of delivery, don't worry! Our logistics partners will make 2-3 delivery attempts, if they have missed you, they generally return on the following business day. In the case that you have missed both delivery attempts, you will receive a written notification through the letter box that your parcel will be delivered to a Parcel Shop near you and when you will be able to pick it up.

The parcel will be available for pick up for 1 week from the point of the delivery. After that period, the parcel will be returned to the sorting centre and subsequently returned to our Rotterdam location at an additional cost of us. We will send you a final email notification about it.

We can arrange for a third & final delivery to you. We will send you an email to notify you that is the case. The cost of the final delivery will be your responsibility. This cost is charged by the shipping company and not by us, we are simply arranging that final delivery. We will let you know what the cost would be. Should we fail to get a response from you, the product will be terminate at the logistics company's sorting centre and you will not be receiving a refund from us minus the shipping cost incurred.

What happens if there's an error with my address?

Unfortunately, once the package has left our facility, we are unable to change the shipping address. We have busy life and error can happen. When the package reaches the destination country, dependent on the shipping company, we can try to rectify that with the local shipping company. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee that the shipping company will handle the error. If there is an error to your address, this usually means that the delivery staff can't find your address and thus unable to give you notification to pick up. It would then be returned to the sorting centre.

We can arrange for a third & final delivery to you. We will send you an email to notify you that is the case. The cost of the final delivery will be your responsibility.

My parcel has arrived damaged, what do I do?

First of all, sincere apologies that your parcel has arrived damaged. The Linea Home distribution staff do our utmost to protect the products that we send out, however, we also try to balance the amount of packaging that we do use. With our products being ceramic and thus breakable, coupled with delivery guys are rushed & take a little less care at times, parcel can arrive damage.

Please contact us in the first instance via email hello@thelineahome.nl, quoting your order number & attached photos/ videos if needed and we will replace a damaged item immediately at no extra cost to you. You have 3 days from the point of you receiving your parcel to raise a dispute with us. We are responsible for damage during transit. 

I think my parcel is lost, what do I do?

It is very rare that a parcel is lost, but it certainly does happen. If your tracking is stuck & it's way past our shipping period, please contact us via email hello@thelineahome.nl to enquire. We will look into the tracking for you & find out what has happened to your parcel. 99% of the time, it's probably DHL/ DPD struggling a little to cope with demand. If in the rare occasion that it is lost, we will send a new parcel out to you at no extra cost to you. 

Why have you split our distribution?

We have had customers asking - 'I thought The Linea Home is a Dutch company, why does my shipping label says Asia?' and we want to address this so you, as a consumer is assured.

The Linea Home is a Dutch company, base in Rotterdam. We have been around since 2017 and we continue to be. Since March 2021, The Linea Home has decided to set up a distribution in China. Regardless of the origin of the products, they ALL arrive there & packages are delivered straight from there to customers destinations. This is because, during the Covid times, smaller retailers like ourselves simply couldn't get shipping slots easily, when we do, the shipping costs have increased dramatically and on top of that shipping prices out from NL has increased tremendously, we would have to increase our prices so much, that it would basically be the end of The Linea Home that we have been building since 2017. 

So, as all entrepreneurs do, we think outside the box & change our tactics. By creating this distribution location, we are able to streamline our shipping process, introduce a much wider range of products and to be able to ship to more countries than we ever did before. This also allow us to keep our prices as low as we are able to, stay competitive & more importantly interesting.

One thing has not changed ~ we get products that we think are great, not only are they practical, smart, but looks good in your home. We get these products, we test them, use them before they hit our store and to you. 

As with any businesses, there will always be challenges ahead. But we love what we do, we love how The Linea Home has grown, we hope you can see the passion and hard work we put into every aspect on The Linea Home and we will continue to learn & improve the store to make it a great place for you to visit over and over again!
