Order & pay

Which payment methods do you accept?

All common methods via Stripe: iDEAL, Bancontact, credit card (Visa/Mastercard/American Express), Apple Pay and Google Pay. For business customers, payment by invoice is possible upon request.

Do I need to create an account to order?

No. You can order as a guest – only your email address and shipping address are needed. Do you want to review your orders later? Create an account during checkout.

Do your prices include VAT?

Beeld & Beest falls under the Small Business Scheme (KOR). Therefore, we do not charge VAT. The prices shown are the prices you pay.

Your invoice will include the mandatory statement: 'Invoice exempt from VAT pursuant to Article 25 of the VAT Act'.

Will I receive an invoice?

Yes. Immediately after payment, you will receive a PDF invoice by email. Do you need an invoice addressed to your dog school or business? Then specify a company name during checkout.

Is paying safe?

Yes. Payments are processed by Mollie — a PCI-DSS certified payment provider. We do not receive or store any card details.

Shipping & delivery

How long will it take for my order to arrive?

For products in stock: shipping usually within 2 business days. The Netherlands: 1-2 business days after dispatch. EU: 3-7 business days. Outside EU: depending on the chosen carrier.

Is your product made to order? This will be stated on the product page with the estimated delivery time.

Do you ship outside of Europe?

Yes, upon request. Due to the dimensions and weight of many search and rescue materials, we choose the best shipping channel for each shipment. If your country is not on the list, please contact us for the costs. Then we will arrange it together!

Will I receive a tracking code?

Yes, as soon as your package is on its way, you will receive a shipping confirmation with a track-and-trace link via email.

Returns & Warranty

What is your return policy?

You have a 14-day cooling-off period from the date of receipt. Within this period, you can cancel your order free of charge by sending us an email at info@beeldenbeest.nl with your order number.

Return the product within 14 days of notification, unused and in its original packaging. Return costs are at your expense, unless otherwise agreed.

How do I register my return?

You can also request a return for your order via your Beeld & Beest account. Alternatively, you can send an email to info@beeldenbeest.nl with your order number.

We will review your return request and get back to you as soon as possible with a response.

When will I get my money back?

Within 14 days of receiving the return, we will refund the full purchase amount to the same account you used for payment.

Can I return personalized products and photo prints?

Custom-made products and photo prints of specific dimensions are excluded from the right of return (art. 6:230p BW).

My product arrived damaged. What now?

Oh no! Please send us an email with photos of the damage and your order number within 7 days of receipt. We'll send a replacement or arrange a refund — whichever you prefer.

Do you offer a warranty on your products?

The statutory 2-year warranty applies to all our products. In addition: if a component of a search product breaks due to normal use? Contact us — we can usually send or replace the part separately.

Products & usage

Are the products suitable for my dog?

Our materials are designed for dogs of all sizes – from puppy to working dog. Doubts? Email us, we’d be happy to help you choose.

What scents do you recommend to start with?

For beginners: a neutral scent, a stronger scent, or a familiar food scent (e.g., truffle extract). For sport dogs working towards competition: coordinate this choice with your instructor – they know the standards of your sports association.

In the download section you will find manuals for using the equipment.

How do I maintain a sniffing wall or scent attribute?

Wood: dry fabrics, do not immerse in water. Scent pots: replace the caps after each training session and clean the outside with a damp cloth. Full instructions and safety regulations can be found in the downloads section.

Can you provide custom solutions?

Often, yes. Dog training schools with specific needs – unusual dimensions, or for example bulk quantities – can contact us via the contact page. We will then discuss what is feasible.

Account & privacy

What do you do with my data?

We use your data solely to process your order and — if you have given permission for this — to occasionally send you a newsletter. We do not sell your data and only share it with parties necessary to get your order to you (carrier, payment provider). Read the full privacy statement.

How do I unsubscribe from the newsletter?

At the bottom of every newsletter, there is an unsubscribe link. One click and you're off — no further confirmation needed.

How do I delete my account or data?

Send an email to info@beeldenbeest.nl with a request for removal. We will delete all your data within 30 days, with the exception of legally required administration (such as invoices - which we must retain for 7 years).

Didn't find an answer?

Email or call — we read everything and usually respond within one business day.
