Ordering

When you place an order through our online shop www.sekelskifte.com or by e-mailing order@sekelskifte.se we confirm the order by sending an order confirmation to the email address you entered. This order confirmation is a confirmation of a purchase agreement between you and Sekelskifte 1900 AB (Sekelskifte). Completing an order means that you accept our terms and conditions and agree that your name and personal identity or corporate registration number will be registered in our business system. We reserve the right to correct orders if for any reason delivery cannot occur and we reserve the right to combine your orders and deliver them in one package if you have placed several orders. We further reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order. Some products are made to order and these are ordered via e-mail or phone. These types of orders have special shipping and delivery terms. Sekelskifte does not enter into agreements with people who are not of age (18 years and above). For more information on how to shop in our online shop, see “Support & Contact” and then “How do I shop?”. If you have questions about how to order please call customer service at phone 08-41009325 or e-mail info@sekelskifte.se.

Changing an order or cancellation 
You may make changes to your order until the order is effective. Effective means that the invoice or shipping document has been created. If the change is approved, any price differences will be settled according to the applicable price at the time of the change. It is not possible to change an order once the order is effective. Cancellation is valid when you first receive confirmation from us. You may cancel your order at no cost to you until the order is effective, e.g. the invoice or shipping document has been created. After that you are obliged to accept the delivery.  As our customer you always have a 30 day right to withdrawal as outlined under the heading “Return Policy” below. Cancellation of goods manufactured specifically for you is not possible after we have ordered or started production of the product/service. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel an order if it has been created through automated methods such as software, machinery, web crawlers, scripts, or by third-party services acting on your behalf.


Prices and information on our website
The prices listed in our online shop are in including VAT if you live within EU. If you live outside the EU prices will be shown excluding VAT. Local taxes, duties, and customs fees may apply depending on your country's regulations, and will then be invoiced by the carrier. We reserve our rights for any errors in pricing and product information on the website. In the event of incorrect pricing Sekelskifte reserves the right to make changes in arrears. As our customer you will of course be asked if you wish to complete the purchase before we make such a change. We also make reservations for price changes, final sale, inventory differences, technical problems, changes to technical specifications and any typographical errors on our site and reserve the right to alter product specifications and prices without prior notice.

Shipping & handling fee
In addition to the price shown for each product in our online shop, there might be a shipping and handling fee. This fee is intended to cover the costs of handling, packaging and freight. The current shipping and handling fee is listed on our website at checkout. It will also always appear in your order confirmation. To cover expenses for uncollected parcels at agents, we charge a fee of SEK 149. Any costs for warehouse rent will be charged to the customer if delivery is not booked within four working days. Any cost for barrier driving may also be charged if the recipient does not receive the delivery at the agreed time or in case of delivery obstacles.

Shipping & Delivery

The delivery time specified in our online shop or on the order confirmation is only a preliminary delivery time. If you are in a hurry for a delivery we always recommend that you call our customer service and make an agreement before ordering. The cost of shipping and handling is specified in your order confirmation. Some exceptions are made where shipping costs are agreed upon afterwards for certain made to order goods ordered by phone or e-mail; see the section below regarding “Delivery to islands” and “Certain bulky and heavy goods”.  

Delivery to a delivery point 
For individuals all packages are usually delivered to a package delivery point (DHL Service Point) in the vicinity of your chosen delivery address. Small businesses that are not on site all day also choose this shipping option. You will receive a message when the package arrives and is available to be collected from the agent. You can then pick up your goods at your convenience. However the goods must be collected within 7 days. The item can only be picked up by the person who is specified as the delivery recipient. Identification will be checked when the goods are handed over. Note that agents in smaller towns sometimes have limited rounds that may affect delivery time. For individuals Sekelskifte reserves the right to select the appropriate way of delivery. For example, for small orders of small goods that fit in a padded envelope and can be dropped in the Swedish Postal Service’s yellow mailboxes, Sekelskifte reserves the right to send the order by mail directly to the customer's mailbox.  

 

 

World wide delivery - Sekelskifte


Direct delivery
For companies with staffing during normal business hours, goods are usually sent directly to the address without notification. We also send some heavier and more bulky deliveries directly to individuals. Individuals will always receive a notification from the transport company before delivery takes place. The goods are then sent to the door if you live in an apartment building or the property line if you live in a house. The products are delivered during the day and require a recipient to acknowledge the goods. We are unable to affect the carrier's hours and driving days. In some small towns in Sweden it is possible that the carrier only has home delivery on certain days of the week. Upon receipt of the goods they should be inspected carefully before the delivery is acknowledged. If there is visible damage to the packaging or the goods this should be noted on the freight bill before signing it. The shipping company will not leave goods without a receipt from the customer or a recipient responsible on the customer's behalf. This means that you are responsible for ensuring that there is someone who can receive and sign for the goods when delivery is carried out. 


Delivery to islands 
For orders through our online shop it is not possible to make deliveries to islands without permanent roads (Gotland however is the exception to this rule). For customers who have chosen delivery to a package delivery point, the delivery will be sent to the nearest delivery point on the mainland. If you want delivery to an island with no road access, please call our Customer Service at 08-41009325 or via e-mail to info@sekelskifte.se so we can try to help. 

Some bulky and heavy goods 
Some made to order products that can only be ordered by phone or e-mail may require unloading assistance from the truck. Examples of such goods may be large shipments of floor planks and wood strips. Sekelskifte reserves the right at these times to charge for additional costs incurred at unloading and this will then be billed in arrears. It is important that you as a customer plan to receive the goods in advance. For questions regarding shipping costs of heavy goods please contact our customer service at 08-41009325 or via info@sekelskifte.se. 

Delivery delays 
Note that delivery times shown on our website and in order confirmations are only indications. Delivery times may be extended for unforeseen delays that may occur. We have almost all the products we sell in stock, but sometimes it may occur that the product is out of our stock as well as out of our supplier’s stock. Our ambition is always to inform you of any delivery delays. We will gladly help you with suggestions for a similar product if available. Should a delivery delay occur, customers have the right to cancel the purchase without charge. NOTE: This does not apply to products that are made to order or produced to the customer's unique specifications. For some parts of Norrland and Gotland DHL delivers with a one or two day delay, this is not always included in the estimated delivery time we specify on our website. Note that Sekelskifte does not compensate for delivery delays. Never book carpenters etc before you have received and checked the goods from us or our suppliers. Always call and make an agreement with us before ordering if you are in a hurry for a delivery. 

Transport damage 
Any transport damage incurred during shipment to you is Sekelskifte’s responsibility. If upon receipt of the goods, you discover that the parcel has been damaged during transport, either on the product or the packaging, we ask that you immediately notify the shipping company by noting the damage on the waybill before the delivery is acknowledged. If you see or hear immediately that a product is completely destroyed, e.g. a bathroom sink where the porcelain shards are rattling in the box, you should not receive the goods at all. Ask the carrier to take back the parcel. Always photograph visible transport damage. For large pallet deliveries of bulky goods we recommend that you review them together with the carrier. The damage should then be reported directly to our customer service so that we can best help with your complaint. The same goes for any hidden damage detected in the item. The damage must be reported to us within seven (7) working days from receipt of the delivery. It is therefore important that you unpack and examine your ordered products carefully immediately after receipt of the parcel. If you do not check the goods within 5 days, the transportation insurance does not apply and we cannot therefore replace the goods because the transport company will not reimburse us.

If serious damage has occurred, do not use the product, but immediately contact our Customer Service at 08-41009325 or via e-mail info@sekelskifte.se to discuss the damage. It is also important that you save the packaging so that the damage can be inspected when handling the damage case.

For direct deliveries to companies, delivery conditions DDU 022 - Unrestricted unloading at the delivery address are applicable.  

Partial Delivery 
For larger orders, the order may be divided into several deliveries. We understand that this is not always desirable and we always strive to keep down the number of partial deliveries.

Unclaimed packages 
As a buyer you are responsible for picking up the shipment at the delivery point within the time stated on the notification. If you cannot receive the package at delivery or if you do not pick up your package at the delivery point, it is sent back to us and we may then charge you a reasonable fee for shipping and administrative costs. We charge a fee of SEK 150 if a package is not picked up or if it is returned to us. The item remains with the carrier representative for 7 days before it is returned to us.  Therefore please note that if you regret a purchase and want to return the item, you must first pick up the package and then return it under the Return description below.

Return and withdrawal policy 

According to the Swedish Distance and Doorstep Sales Act, you as a consumer always have 14 days right of withdrawal (right of cancellation). For you to feel completely secure with your purchase, Sekelskifte instead offers an entire 30-day withdrawal period from the date you receive the goods. By invoking the right of withdrawal, you as customer are responsible for return shipping. Returns of kitchen and bathroom porcelain (such as toilets and sinks) as well as cast iron stoves, tiles & ceramics are always done via pallet shipping. A prerequisite for the right of withdrawal is that the goods are unused and undamaged and the accompanying original boxes and packaging are whole and clean. If the goods or original boxes are not in the original condition we may make a price deduction equal to the product's depreciation. It is important that you send back the goods in their complete original boxes. Tiles purchased in whole boxes must be returned in whole boxes. For tiles, we also take a return deduction of 25% (non-stock-items). You have no right to change your mind about goods which due to their nature cannot be returned. The Swedish Act on Distance and Off-Premises Contracts (2005:59) contains a number of provisions that restrict the right to use the right of withdrawal. We remind the customer that in accordance with § 5 the right of withdrawal does not apply if the contract is: “Goods to be manufactured or significantly changed by the consumer's specific request or that will otherwise be given a clear personal touch”. Examples are items that are manufactured to order and customised according to customer requirements. The right of withdrawal does not apply for agreement § 11 paragraph 4 relating to: “an item that can quickly deteriorate or become too old”. Examples of such products in our range are floor boards with 16% moisture content. When exercising the right of withdrawal or return, please always email us on info@sekelskifte.se or call 08-41009325 no later than 30 days after you received the item/s that you want to return. We always need the following information from you:

1) Order number (found in your order confirmation, delivery note or invoice) 2) Name and contact information 3) Item number and quantity of the products to be returned

You must receive a confirmation from us that the return is approved and that the withdrawal period has not passed before the goods are sent back. You will receive a return number from us that shall be used in all communication with us. Return shipping is always booked by us and we will send you a return ticket. Contact us for information about return costs from abroad. The customer is responsible for the product until it has reached us. Returns may not be sent as cash on delivery or to service points. For companies dealing with Sekelskifte the Swedish Sale of Goods Act applies.


Refund 
Once we have received and checked the returned item/s we will refund the value of the returned item/s as soon as possible but no later than 30 days under the Swedish Distance Contracts Act. Any freight or return shipping costs are non-refundable. We will return the money using the same method as we received the money. If PayPal was used to pay, we will repay through PayPal, etc.

Complaints

If you received a defective or erroneously delivered item we ask you to immediately contact our customer service at info@sekelskifte.se. Describe the problem in as much detail as possible, preferably together with pictures. If we cannot solve the problem, you may of course make a complaint about the product to receive a new one. Complaints must be made in accordance with the instructions you receive from us. For approved complaints Sekelskifte will always be responsible for new shipping and any return shipping. Never book carpenters etc until you have verified that the correct items have been delivered and that no damage has occurred during shipping. Mispicks and faulty goods must not be installed, otherwise the buyer is considered to have accepted the delivery. This does not apply if circumstances mean that it is only at installation it can be noticed that the goods in question were mispicked or faulty. Complaints for building materials such as wood mouldings, flooring planks, tiles, cornices, wallpaper and paint will not be accepted after assembly or installation. So be careful to check these products before installation or assembly. Sekelskifte will not replace any worker costs associated with a complaint. Therefore it is important that you check the goods before installation. In any dispute, we follow Swedish Consumer Complaints Board recommendations.

Force Majeure

Both Sekelskifte and the customer shall be exempt from the provisions of the purchase if fulfilment is prevented or significantly adversely affected by circumstances Sekelskifte or the customer could not reasonably control or predict. The following and similar circumstances will constitute grounds for relief where they prevent or complicate the purchase’s fulfilment: fire, war, mobilisation, requisition, confiscation, currency restrictions, general shortage, shortage of transport, strikes, lockouts, restrictions in terms of power and defects or delays in deliveries from suppliers arising in such circumstances referred to in this paragraph or other circumstances Sekelskifte or the customer cannot control, which either prevent or hinder Sekelskifte or the customer's performance to such an extent that it cannot occur except at abnormally high cost.
