Delivery Times in Practice
Without an agreed delivery time, the standard in the Netherlands is 30 days for delivery to your address in Rijswijk. If a specific term has been agreed, it is binding on the seller.
What to Do in Case of Delay
If delivery fails to arrive in Rijswijk:
- Take immediate contact with the seller by email or phone
- Request a specific new delivery date
- Grant a reasonable additional period for performance (this is called notice of default)
- If it is still not delivered? Then you can cancel the purchase
In case of persistent problems, you can escalate to the District Court of Rijswijk or seek help from the Municipality of Rijswijk for consumer support.
Termination Without Notice
In Rijswijk, you may terminate the agreement immediately without an additional period if:
- The delivery time was crucial, such as a gift for a local holiday
- The seller explicitly states they cannot deliver
- You have previously agreed such conditions with the seller
Refund in Rijswijk
Full termination means the seller must refund your payment within 14 days, including any shipping costs to your Rijswijk address.
Compensation for Additional Costs
In addition to termination, you can claim damages in Rijswijk for losses suffered due to the delay, such as expenses for an alternative purchase at a local store.
Track Your Shipment
Always check the track & trace information for packages to Rijswijk. A delay by the carrier does not relieve the seller of responsibility until delivery at your door is completed.
