Debecker delivers hospitality supplies in Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. What you pay for shipping depends on two things: the country we deliver to, and whether you order as a private customer or as a trade customer with a B2B account.
On this page you will find the shipping costs and the thresholds for free delivery, how VAT works for trade customers abroad, how to pay and how a return works. That way you know in advance what to expect, whether you are topping up a few glasses or fitting out an entire venue.
Shipping costs by country and customer type
The webshop calculates shipping costs automatically according to this table. Note the difference between the thresholds: for trade customers the amount excl. VAT counts, for private customers the amount incl. VAT.
The shipping costs themselves are always shown excl. VAT. The same amounts apply to the Netherlands and Luxembourg, while Belgium has its own rate.
| Customer type | Country | Shipping costs | Free delivery from |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trade (B2B account) | Belgium | €20 excl. VAT | €750 excl. VAT |
| Trade (B2B account) | Netherlands | €25 excl. VAT | €1,000 excl. VAT |
| Trade (B2B account) | Luxembourg | €25 excl. VAT | €1,000 excl. VAT |
| Private customer | Belgium | €8 excl. VAT | €100 incl. VAT |
| Private customer | Netherlands | €25 excl. VAT | €1,000 incl. VAT |
| Private customer | Luxembourg | €25 excl. VAT | €1,000 incl. VAT |
Trade customers: net prices and reverse charge VAT
With a professional account in the B2B webshop you see net prices excl. VAT. For a business in Belgium, Belgian VAT is simply added to that.
If you are a trade customer outside Belgium, in the Netherlands or Luxembourg, and you have a valid VAT number, the reverse charge applies. No Belgian VAT is then charged. As is usual with the reverse charge, you account for the VAT yourself in your own VAT return. If in doubt, ask your accountant how this works for your business.
So make sure your VAT number is correctly entered in your account before you order.
Private customers: prices including 21% VAT
In the webshop for private customers, all prices include 21% VAT. In Belgium you pay €8 excl. VAT for shipping, and delivery is free on orders from €100 incl. VAT. To the Netherlands and Luxembourg, shipping is €25 excl. VAT, free from €1,000 incl. VAT.
The reverse charge applies only to trade customers with a valid VAT number, not to private customers.
Delivery of hospitality supplies in Belgium
In Belgium we deliver to every province and to Brussels. A trade customer pays €20 excl. VAT for shipping, free from €750 excl. VAT. That threshold is lower than for other countries, so an ordinary restocking order often ships free of charge.
What this means for each region, from getting to the showroom to the local hospitality scene, is explained on the pages for West Flanders, hospitality supplies in East Flanders and venues in Brussels.
Delivery of hospitality supplies in the Netherlands
Shipping to the Netherlands is €25 excl. VAT, free for trade customers from €1,000 excl. VAT. With a valid VAT number the reverse charge applies, so as a Dutch business you do not pay Belgian VAT.
Because the threshold for free delivery is higher, it pays to combine orders, for example with an order list per season. Read more about ordering from the Netherlands on the page hospitality supplies for the Netherlands.
Delivery of hospitality supplies in Luxembourg
The same rules apply to Luxembourg as to the Netherlands: €25 excl. VAT for shipping, free from €1,000 excl. VAT for trade customers, and reverse charge VAT with a valid VAT number.
Which collections suit Luxembourg's hospitality sector, and how to order easily from the Grand Duchy, is explained on the page hospitality supplies in Luxembourg.
Ordering and payment
You order in the webshop and pay online by card via Stripe. Many hospitality items are sold per pack, for example of 6 or 12 pieces. The price per pack is shown with the product, so you know in advance how many pieces you will receive.
