When UPS can' t deliver at first time, UPS reserves the right to deliver it at an acces point in your area.

We have no influence on this and this decision is made by the driver without informing us.

Follow your track nr for all delivery changes. When contacting UPS make sure you have this track nr prepared.

When ordering from outside EU import tax and clearance costs might be charged. (Cash on delivery COD) by UPS. This is an usual procedure and can't be a reason for refusing the delivery that has to be returned to us afterwards. When still refused, all costs will be deducted from your refund.

Orders are shipped weekdays Monday - Friday, orders placed during the weekend will be processed the following weekday.

When a delivery was not delivered at your door, but at an UPS acces point we are not responsible for the further delivery. This can happen due to several reasons, but this is out of our reach. In that case, you can contact UPS and ask for a change of delivery, using the track number you received in your mail box.

Once shipped, we can no longer make changes to the delivery address. You can track your shipment using your track number. If you want more control, you can create an ups account where you can adjust various things at will.

Check the fit;

Under the check the fit tab you will find an overview of the most important sizes of each piece of clothing that is measured by us. After receipt it can sometimes take 24 hours before they are visible. This is an aid in determining the correct size if your knowledge of the product is insufficient, but no rights can be derived from it.


This option shows you easily how to take the measurements of the desired piece, but also you can build your own wardrobe size chart. Every piece you purchase online on a site using Virtusize will be added to your Virtusize account and from that moment on, you can compare new items with those you purchased and fit you well.
