3.2 Why are your racket specifications sometimes different from those on other online shops?

We measure and weigh the badminton rackets ourselves. Especially rackets which do not belong to the top class, it sometimes happens that the specifications differ.
Professionals or advanced players usually have 4 - 10 of the same rackets in their bag. With cheap rackets, the deviations are greater.
Do you have questions or doubts about certain specifications? Feel free to contact us.

We have tested almost all badminton rackets. The clothing, shoes, etc. have not, but we do know from customer reaction how they are perceived.

4.6 The racket does not play nicely. May it be returned?

Rackets with frames in new condition can always be returned within 30 days.

Please note the following:

- The cost of custom strings cannot be refunded.

- For a racket where the protective film has been removed from the handle, a value reduction of 20% on the new value of the frame price applies.

You can buy 2-3 rackets and return them within 30 days of receipt.

Make sure the frame remains brand new.

Follow these tips for 100% frame price:
- Pick up the shuttle by hand during testing.
- Test in situations with 1 vs. 1 players.
- Do not test in matches and 2 vs 2 situations.
- Do not remove the plastic film from the handle. Instead, you can put an overgrip over it.

The cost of stringing cannot be returned.

4.8 Tips on trying on shoes

- When trying on, we recommend wearing both shoes. Walk with them quietly for a while.

- A good fitting shoe should fit correctly from heel to forefoot. Make a gentle lunge with your forehand leg. Bend the knee well to the front. There should still be room at your toes. This is to prevent a blue toenail.

- Feel with your fingers if there is no empty space at the side of the foot. Also try wiggling left and right with the forefoot.

- A good shoe should feel firm and stable. Preferably with no gaps except at the toes. The shoe should not pinch, but it should fit well.

If you haven't bought shoes yet, please read our sizing advice before buying shoes.

5. Pre-orders
5.1 When will a pre-order shipment be sent?

If you have only ordered a Pre-order item, you will be sent the product as soon as it is delivered to KW FLEX by the supplier. In most cases, the given dates are reasonably correct. However, there can sometimes be exceptions, taking longer than expected.

5.2 Will I be sent a partial delivery by default?

Have you ordered multiple items, including out-of-stock or Pre-order products? Then we will wait to ship until the order is complete. Please take this into account when ordering products.

5.3 Can I get a partial delivery?

Of course, it is no problem to send a partial delivery if you like. In that case, please indicate this at [email protected] or call us at: + 31-616501686. There will probably be extra costs involved.

5.4 What are the additional costs for partial delivery?

Depending on the country, weight and dimensions, we will calculate shipping costs for the partial delivery. Therefore, always ask us what it costs. If you agree, we will send an additional payment request, after which we will send the partial delivery.

6. Questions about VAT
6.1 Why does the checkout page display multiple currencies?

KW FLEX is based in the Netherlands and therefore payment is always made in Euros. If you change the currency from Euro to e.g. Pounds, Dollars, Yen, etc., the check-out page will display the products in the relevant currency.

BUT shipping costs, total excluding VAT, VAT and total including VAT are always calculated in Euros.

Unfortunately, it is not technically possible to change this.

6.2 When do I pay VAT?

In Europe, you always pay the VAT that applies to your country. In a number of countries, VAT is reverse-charged, meaning that no VAT on the purchase is payable to KW FLEX.
These countries are: Norway, Switzerland and Monaco and all countries outside the EU. Separate rules apply to the UK (see next point).

6.3 What VAT rules apply to the UK?

The UK is considered a non-EU country, which means that we apply the 0% rate on purchases in the Netherlands. This means you do not owe Dutch VAT.

BUT if the value of your order is less than or equal to 135 GBP, we have to calculate the 20% UK VAT and KW FLEX will remit this amount.
The GBP 135 is exclusive of shipping costs, exclusive of payment costs and the price exclusive of VAT. If charged in another currency, the order total will be converted to British pounds (GBP) according to the current rates, which are updated every 24 hours.

By default, our system takes into account a minimum order amount of GBP 165 to make use of the legal amount for VAT-free ordering. Normally this is 135 GBP, but due to currency fluctuations our webshop programme has applied this.

To avoid double VAT payments, we recommend ordering a minimum of GBP 165 worth of products.
