  • Please check that it has the same contents as the order confirmation you have received from us when you have received the order.

The method of shipment and shipping costs

The ordering cost includes shipping and packaging costs. When you place an order, our shop card will estimate the cost of the shipping method you have selected. The shipping costs depend on the weight of the products you purchase.

The exact shipping cost is shown to you before you pay your order.

A note for heavy purchases

Shipping costs for international orders are high, and we want to offer the best possible service to our customers. In case your order weighs one kilogram or more, you should directly contact our customer service. In that way, we can manually tailor your order and plan the best shipping method for your needs!

Order Lead Time

Party Bugs Shop strives to fulfill orders as promptly as possible. However, we also inform customers in our terms and conditions that order processing can take up to 30 days, after which the order’s delivery takes time. We are a small operation with limited resources concentrating on production and international wholesale to get our products to everybody’s corner stores. We truly appreciate your patience.

If you are in a hurry to receive your order, it is better to email us or try to reach us by text or call us before placing your order.

Force Majeure

In cases of force majeure, such as War or threats of war, industrial action (also in supplier companies, on whose material reference Party Bugs depends), which are not foreseeable and unavoidable for Party Bugs, Party Bugs is entitled to cancel the fulfillment of the contract. The customer will be informed about this immediately. If the customer does not agree to the postponement, he is entitled to withdraw from the contract. Any consideration already provided will be reimbursed immediately. Claims for damages are excluded in this case.

Product returns

You can cancel your order from Party Bugs without any special reason within 14 days of order placement or 14 days after receiving it. If you are a consumer and open a food product you have purchased from Party Bugs, you will not lose the right to cancel your order, but you will be liable for any reduction in the goods’ value. Because the resale value of an opened food product is zero, you virtually lose the opportunity to get your money back when you open our product, unless there is a noticeable defect in the product we purchase.

If you wish to cancel your order, please notify Party Bugs Customer Service immediately. We will register the arrival of your message at the moment of the cancellation of your order. We can then agree on one of the best ways to return the goods you have ordered to the Party Bugs and return the payment or part of the payment to you.

Any refund will be made using the payment method you used when you placed your order in the Party Bugs.

The customer who wishes to cancel the transaction for no particular reason due to the Party Bugs is responsible for the cost of returning the products to the Party Bugs. The cancellation time in such a case is 14 days from the receipt of the products.  The customer is obliged to ensure that the products are adequately packaged to protect them from damage during transport. Upon receipt of the return shipment, Party Bugs will inspect the products and reimburse customers for the products’ prices that arrived undamaged.

Free order cancellation

The customer can cancel their order free of charge if Party Bugs receives the customer’s cancellation notice before Party Bugs has purchased transportation for the order. The time of receipt of the cancellation notice is when someone in our customer service actually receives and responds to the order cancellation notice. We recommend that you submit your cancellation notice in more than one way to ensure that your cancellation notice arrives. Email, cell phone messaging, and a call used simultaneously are safer than just one notification method.

Unclaimed shipments

An unclaimed shipment is not the same as a returned shipment. We do not refund money for unclaimed shipments. 

Damaged or disappeared products

The online shop is liable for defects in the sold products according to the applicable law. Please contact the customer support of the online shop immediately in case of reclamation. The consumer has a right to file a dispute in the Consumer Disputes Board in a dispute between the online shop and the consumer.

Upon receipt of the delivery, the customer must immediately check that the delivery has included the products he has ordered and that the products are externally free of defects.

In case the shipment has disappeared or the suffered damages during the transportation, you are expected to give Party Bugs customer service a notice of defects within 14 days of the order’s receipt. In case the shipment has suffered damage during transportation, you should complain about that to the shipping company.
