Exchanges
Unfortunately we cannot exchange your product. If you’d prefer to receive another product, return the product and then place a new order on the website.
Delivery from €25
We have set a minimum order amount of €25 EUR (excluding shipping costs) on our website. This means that you can only complete the checkout after having a minimum €25 worth of products in the cart.
Why does Dreadshop do this?
Due to rising shipping and logistics costs, we are forced to apply this change.
We use comparatively big amounts of cardboard for small orders and also the same transport costs as for slightly larger orders. This has a major impact on the sustainability of our shipping process and does not fit into our vision. Dreadshop has always tried and will continue to ship as sustainably as possible.
U.S. customers: Please note that due to import tariffs, we have set a $150 minimum order. All tariffs are included in the price, so there will be no extra fees upon delivery. At the moment, we only ship to the U.S. via FedEx.
