Can I ship my order and pay afterwards?
We only offer the option cash on delivery within the Netherlands. back

An article is not availible, can you sent it later?
Items that are temporarily unavailable or parts can only be sent afterwards after additional payment of the extra shipping costs. We always try to mark items (except parts) with the following symbol: if these are temporarily unavailable. Almost all Bruder items are delivered from stock as standard. back

Why no free delivery?
We believe that each customer only needs to pay those costs that are actually for him. At webshops that claim that delivery is free, you also pay for delivery, however these costs included in the price by default. In fact, the more you order, the more you pay too much. At those shops you pay the full shipping costs for every "average" order, with every more than average order you automatically will pay too much. That is why we have prices free from shipping allowance and that is one of the reasons our prices are lower than average. back

Is shipment per mail not cheaper?
Unfortunately, that is not the case in practice. The tariff we charge for order and shipping does not cover the actual costs (bank costs per transaction, packaging material, working time for processing order picking, packing and shipping, etc.). Often it will concern a single piece or article, because of weight, but the lower amount of the stamps might suggest it is cheaper, but in real it does not actually differ. Mainly the working time is costly. Because the stamps themselves are only a small part of the costs. back

Can I have the articles packaged as a gift?
For the time being, it is not possible to have articles packaged as a gift. We try to keep our shipments as neutral as possible, so that it is not immediately visible on the outside toys. back

Confirmation and invoice
Within a few minutes after placing your order you should receive an order confirmation with the invoice amount by e-mail. If after 10 minutes this mail has not yet been received, please send an email to info @ bruder-speelgoed . nl or give a message via the contact page. We will send you a copy of the order confirmation. Please verify first if the confirmation did not end up in your SPAM folder. back

I try to call you, but the phone is not answered, is something wrong?
No, there is nothing wrong, but you are probably trying to call us on our private number. Remiko / bruder-speelgoed.nl works with a digital customer service, which you can reach by mail or via the contact form. We believe that a well-formulated question can be answered better and more efficiently than a telephone call, which in addition to irrefutable data and commitments also gives high costs in staffing. Partly because of this, we can continue to offer low prices. back

Who is behind bruder-speelgoed.nl / Remiko?
We founded Remiko, a corruption of our names ( Renate and Michael Koot) in 2006 after we frequently could not purchase items in the local toy stores that our sons wanted for their birthday. Since we were not the only ones with that problem, we started a small internet shop at the time. Meanwhile, besides Bruder toys we also supply several others brands via the internet, including, for example, Ministeck (www.ministeck-online.nl), RollyToys (www.rollytoys-traptrekkers.nl) and many more brands.
We still try to keep our costs as low as possible, resulting in affordable and competitive prices. Sometimes you have to wait a day longer than at the more expensive (web) stores, but the price is certainly worth it.

Our family, since September 3, 2012, consists of five sons and a daughter. From big to small: Joshua, Davy, Mitchell, Ian, Abbey (5-8-2011) and Owen. Much to our grief, Abbey, our daughter, died at birth.

Michael has worked as a professional pilot for about 15 years and has operated both scheduled services and business flights throughout Europe. In addition, he has given 10 years of flight instruction at one of the Netherlands' largest flight academies and as last function Head of Training, before full-time commiting to Remiko. back

Credit card

When are return payments processed?
If an order has been canceled, or you receive a return deposit because a part of the order was not available, we will try to do this as soon as possible. Normally we process weekly return payments, so it should not last longer than 7 days, in some cases (holidays) it can take a little longer, but never longer than 14 days. If that is the case, then we would like to be informed by e-mail, so that we can correct this immediately. back

What is Paypal, and how does it work?
Paypal is an online payment service. ( www.paypal.com ) In order to use this service you must be registered user at Paypal. An account with Paypal is free and allows people to transfer money to a specific e-mail address. We offer this option (due to the additional costs) only for payments from abroad. back

I have chosen the wrong payment option, what to do?
If you have chosen a wrong payment option, for example Paypal instead of bank transfer, this is no problem. We check every day both our bank account and our Paypal account. Please note that you do not forget to mention the order number. We often notice different names on the order as on the payment. Without order number, it can be difficult to couple the payment to the right order. back

Can I, as a customer, claim the right of withdrawal?
After receipt of the product, you as a consumer have a cooling-off period of 14 days to terminate the agreement without giving any reason and return the product. In doing so, you as a consumer bear the costs of the return shipment. Remiko will, in case of dissolution of the agreement, return the order amount within 14 days after the date of receipt of the return shipment. The product should be undamaged and if possible in original packaging and returned unused.

In that case, we would like to receive a reply on the order confirmation to info@bruder-speelgoed.nl stating that you wish to cancel the order. Every return shipment must be accompanied by a copy of the order confirmation, in order to avoid delays in the processing of the return payment.

Can an item differ from the image on your site?
All images on our site have been selected with care. Occasionally the offer of the producer changes in color of the article. Although we try to respond as adequately as possible, we can accept no liability for deviations in images and texts. back

Do you always have all items in stock?
Our website is not linked to our current stock. We strive to stock multiple items of all articles at all times. We also fill our stock several times a week. This allows us to handle virtually all orders within 1 to 3 business days (monday-friday). back

Do you have all spare parts on stock?
We strive to have every part in stock, or already in order, but we can not guarantee this, because of the large diversity in parts and the strongly varying demand. On average we have about 85% - 90% of all spare parts directly available and the much requested parts in larger quantities. In case it takes longer because we have to order the parts at Bruder, we will inform you of this within 10 working days.back

How long do I have to wait before the order is delivered?
Usually we ship all items (except parts) from our own stock and usually within 1-3 days after payment is received. Depending on destination it might take a few days for international shipping. Whenever the order is handed to the carrier, you will receive the track and trace codes. Because we replenish our stock multiple times a week, this allows us to handle virtually all orders within 1 to 3 working days after receiving payment. In case an item is not available for a longer period of time, we will inform you by e-mail about it and, if possible, including alternatives, whereby we also offer you the possibility to cancel the order without costs.

If your order is not fully in stock, but you have indicated to receive it before a certain date, we will initially try to find an alternative together. If time is to short, we will send what is in stock and return the amount of those articles not delivered (mostly at orders including (a) spare part(s)). back
