Shipping and returns

Shipping

How long will I receive my package?

If ordered on a working day before 08:00, we will SHIP the same day! Note: this usually, but not always means that it is DELIVERED TOMORROW. Like any other webshop, we are dependent on an external carrier for delivery.
So take into account 1 to 2 working days from the shipping day for Benelux and 2 to 4 days for the rest of Europe.
Saturday and Sunday do not count as working days for the DPD or Bpost. They come to us to collect parcels from Monday to Friday, each time around 8.15 am. All orders placed on Friday after 8.15 am and during the weekend can therefore only be shipped on Monday.

The above information is an indication. Breaklight has no control over this from the moment of collection and, you will understand, cannot be held liable if a shipment is delayed due to the actions of the carrier (incorrect sorting, strikes, end-of-year rush, ...) and therefore deviates from above info. We will always keep you informed of this.

Will I receive a tracking code for my package?

The track and trace is automatically emailed by the carrier and by us. You will be kept informed with every claim in the delivery process.
It can take until late at night or the next morning before anything is visible. This is normal, your package first goes into a waiting area at the distribution center of Bpost, until it is scanned on the sorting belt. You will see this faster with DPD shipments.
Tip: Download the My Bpost app or the DPD app on your phone, really handy! this way you follow everything live.

Can I also have my package delivered elsewhere than at my home?

You can replace your delivery address in your Breaklight account. Very useful if you prefer to receive the package at work, send a gift to your friends or if you want your package delivered to your holiday address! You can also choose to deliver to one of the many collection points.
It is very useful if you have your parcel delivered via DPD, because they have a new service.
With Predict and live tracking, you will never have to wait for a package again. On the day of delivery, we will let you know exactly on the hour when we will come by. And with Live tracking you can see how many stops the driver still has to make before he gets to you.
You will receive a message from DPD on the day of delivery. It contains a time period of one hour within which your package will be delivered.
Do your plans change and you are not at home after all? Then you can easily adjust the time or place of the delivery online. You can also choose to have your package delivered to a Pickup parcelshop.
On the day of delivery, you can follow the package online thanks to live tracking. You can even see how many stops the driver still has to make on the map.

How can I track the progress of my package?

You can follow the progress of your package on the website of Bpost / DPD / UPS depending on your supplier choice). Enter the number of your parcel indicated on your Breaklight account.

I have not received my shipment ... what should I do?

Shipments are delivered within two to six working days. After a signature, the shipment will be handed over to the delivery address stated on your order form.
If you are not at home at the time of delivery, the delivery person will leave a message in your letterbox to notify you. You can then indicate on this note that the delivery person can deliver the package to your neighbors the next day. You can also contact Bpost / DPD to change the delivery address.
Several situations may arise:
1. If your package is listed as "return sender", our Customer Service will contact you upon receipt to resend your order or refund you.
2. If your package is listed as "delivered", this means that it has been delivered to the specified address.
3. If you have not received your parcel after 6 days and no delivery notification has been left with you, you can check the status of your parcel on the Bpost / DPD website.
