If the item is not listed on the packing slip, please contact us at service@debondtbv.nl within eight days of receiving your order and include your customer number, company name, order number and item number(s).
Can I insure my order?
We use reliable carriers to ship your order, but should your order be lost, the terms and conditions of the carrier used will apply to the payment of damages. Should you wish to insure your orders, you can arrange this yourself based on the track and trace information you receive from the carrier after your order has been dispatched.
The carrier has lost my parcel. Am I entitled to compensation? The moment your parcel is handed to one of our carriers, it becomes EXW (Ex Works), as stated in our terms and conditions. This means that responsibility for delivery is transferred from De Bondt to you as the customer. If you have not received your parcel(s), please contact us at service@debondtbv.nl. We will contact the carrier and attempt to track your package. Should the package be lost by the carrier, we will do all we can to ensure that you receive compensation for your package. Please be aware that compensation rates vary by carrier and are usually calculated by the kilo, rather than by content. Therefore the compensation you receive is usually less than the order value. We recommend that you check your insurance to ensure you are financially covered for goods for loss in transit.

Pricing
Where can I find price lists? Go to ‘My Account’ on our website. Click on ‘Price List’ and select the desired category. Click on ‘Download’ to download the list/s as a CSV file.
Where can I find/request the certificates of an article? All our yarns have the OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certificate as a minumum. The cotton yarns are also EN 71-3 tested. In addition, our organic cotton yarns (Scheepjes Organicon and Scheepjes Candy Floss) hold GOTS certification.
Should you use our yarns to make products (such as toys) that you wish to sell, then you must comply with EN71 standards. You can request this certification from De Bondt customer services.
If available, certificates are mentioned in the product text under the relevant article. Unfortunately, we cannot send physical certificates.
Why are there knots in my yarn? During the production process, fibres naturally on occasion snap and need to be knotted. Therefore our yarns may contain knots. Our standard is that a maximum of two knots per 50-gram ball is acceptable. This contributes to yarn efficiency and supports our sustainable business goals.
I have received yarns from different dye lots. What does this mean? Due to the complexity of the dyeing process, there may be slight colour differences between different dye batches. Although we do our best to pick your order from a single dye lot, with our current system we cannot guarantee this will always be possible.
Why did De Bondt choose to package yarns individually? We completely understand that individual plastic packaging might initially seem surprising – especially for a yarn like Kindsome, which is centred around sustainability.
However, we have made this choice deliberately to accommodate retailers. Thanks to the individual packaging, they are no longer required to purchase large quantities; they can now order smaller amounts without compromising the quality of the yarn.
It’s comparable to magazines – even the more premium editions are often individually wrapped for protection. One ball can easily be removed from its packaging so customers can feel the yarn, while the rest remains clean and presentable for sale.
Although the plastic might appear excessive at first glance, the total amount used is almost the same as for packs of ten – it’s simply divided per item. The plastic also serves as vital protection during transport and storage. Just like cucumbers in the supermarket tend to get damaged more easily without packaging, this helps us to prevent waste.
We always strive to strike a careful balance between practical solutions and sustainability. We will continue to examine this critically as we further develop our yarn collections.
Where can I find information on delivery times for items not in stock? Our estimated delivery dates for new products on the way and items out of stock are displayed directly on the product pages in our webshop. Please note: Delivery times are indicative and subject to change. No rights can be derived from this information.
Can I receive a notification when items are back in stock? Click on the envelope icon next to the greyed-out box for the out of stock item. A pop-up will appear: ‘Temporarily sold out. Keep me updated’. Ensure there is a tick next to your e-mail address and click ‘Save’. As soon as the item is back in stock, you will receive an automated notification.

Scheepjes Yarns
Where are Scheepjes yarns produced? Scheepjes yarns are manufactured in China, India, and Turkey. These countries are carefully chosen for their expertise in textile production, proximity to raw materials, and ability to uphold environmentally friendly practices. Through these conscious decisions, Scheepjes minimizes its impact on the planet.
We collaborate exclusively with partners who meet strict international standards and align with our core values. All our production partners are BSCI-certified, ensuring fair and safe working conditions. This partnership allows us to deliver high-quality yarns that are crafted with respect for both people and the environment.
How does Scheepjes ensure the quality of its yarns? Quality is at the heart of everything we do at Scheepjes. Our partners are not only BSCI-certified but also meet rigorous international standards, including OEKOTEX and EN71-3. These certifications ensure every yarn is safe and meets the highest quality requirements.
To maintain these standards, our team visits production sites several times a year, fostering close collaboration and driving innovation. For instance, the Easy Start feature was specifically developed for our centre-pull yarns, enabling users to effortlessly start their yarn from the middle of the ball. Additionally, we created patented techniques for colour joins in Scheepjes Whirl and Scheepjes Cotton Whirl, producing beautiful gradient colour transitions that seamlessly blend into crochet or knitwork.
How does Scheepjes oversee production facilities? We maintain regular visits to our production partners to stay actively involved in the process and ensure that Scheepjes’ high standards are consistently met. This personal contact not only guarantees quality but also strengthens our collaboration with partners. Together, we work towards the future of high-quality yarns, with care and consideration for both our products and the world we live in.
Marketplaces
Does De Bondt itself sell products on digital marketplaces, such as Amazon and Bol.com?
De Bondt does not directly sell products on platforms such as Amazon and Bol.com. We sell products exclusively to B2B customers. However, some of our B2B customers choose to trade via digital marketplaces. De Bondt or companies affiliated with De Bondt are actively working to market their brands abroad with the aim of maximising availability to consumers worldwide.
What does De Bondt think about products being offered on digital marketplaces?
It’s fantastic! De Bondt's mission is to provide and inspire the crafting community. So we welcome that products needed by the crafting community are being made available in as many outlets as possible.
As a retailer, how can I still compete with digital marketplaces?
Retailers have the advantage of personal contact, specialist knowledge and the in-store experience. The aim of digital marketplaces is specifically to reach more customers, which can ultimately bring end consumers into stores. In sectors where it is even more common to make sales in the digital marketplace, a great majority of sales continue to be made via retailers.
Does De Bondt have any advice for me, as a retailer, when it comes to selling on digital marketplaces?
Selling products on digital marketplaces is specialist trade. We advise you to research thoroughly before taking the decision. There are various options for sellers to offer products and each option has its own terms and conditions for delivery, service, etc. There are also parties that provide external advice to support you in starting sales on digital marketplaces.
