Shipping, return and refund policy
When do you ship? We ship once a week on Wednesdays. Orders placed by Monday 8:00 PM will be processed and shipped that same week. We do not accept orders on Tuesdays or Wednesday mornings.
Who handles the packing? We handle all the packing ourselves. We do not collaborate with other companies for the packing and shipping of our products.
What should I do if my package is not delivered or is damaged? If your package is marked as damaged or not delivered according to the track & trace information, please contact us at bestelling@babsbonebroth.com. We will ensure that a new package is sent to you.
Do you track the status of my package? Unfortunately, we cannot monitor the status of each package for every customer. You are responsible for keeping an eye on your track & trace information and contacting us if something goes wrong.
Shipping policy and deadlines Please note that orders must be placed by Monday 8:00 PM to be shipped within the same week. Our pallets are picked up once a week, so make sure to place your order on time.

Important information in case of two missed delivery attempts
Postnl is obliged to make 2 delivery attempts at the address indicated. Babs is not responsible for the 3rd delivery attempt! After the last attempt, the parcel will be returned to Babs. You will then receive a refund minus the full shipping costs of € 6.95. This also applies to subtotals above € 120.00.
So make sure you are home at the agreed time to avoid your package being returned.
Our packages are typically delivered during daytime hours. However, please note that the exact delivery times may vary. The PostNL track & trace will indicate the expected delivery time for your order.
At Babs, we strive to deliver your package in a timely manner. However, we would like to inform you that we cannot guarantee precise delivery on the chosen day. Please take into account the possibility of a delay of 1 to 2 days, and in some cases, the delivery may take even longer.
Babs is not responsible for delays caused by third parties. Such as busy days (orders around the holidays or on action days like Black Friday and Cyber Monday), technical issues, or due to incorrect sorting in the depot at Postnl.
If you wish to cancel the order due to a delay, you will receive a refund minus the full shipping cost of € 6.95. This also applies to subtotals above € 120.00.
We do not refrigerate our products during transportation due to the use of a double pasteurization method. This method ensures that our products remain shelf-stable without the need for cooling. The double pasteurization process involves subjecting the product to two rounds of heat treatment to eliminate harmful bacteria and microorganisms, thereby extending its shelf life.
Thanks to this pasteurization method, our products can be safely transported without refrigeration. Even in the case of delays in the transportation process, the quality and safety of our products remain intact. However, it is important to note that once the products are delivered to you, it is advisable to promptly remove them from the box and place them in the refrigerator to maintain their optimal shelf life, as indicated in the instructions on the packaging.
We may notify you in advance when your package is packed and ready for shipment. However, please note that this notification does not indicate an immediate pickup by Postnl.
Our scheduled pickup days are on Wednesdays, but please be aware that we may vary our shipping days.
Selecting delivery days serves as an indication of when the packages are expected to be delivered. However, we cannot guarantee that the package will be delivered on the chosen day. Please allow for a potential delay of 1 or 2 days.
While we strive to ensure a smooth shipping process, it’s important to note that we do not have complete control over all aspects of delivery. Delays can be caused by external factors, including busy periods (such as holidays or promotional events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday), technical issues, or sorting errors at the Postnl depot.
We deliver within the Netherlands, as well as throughout Belgium and Germany. Please note that delivery days may vary depending on the location. Keep in mind that some areas might experience slight delays due to logistical considerations.
Our products are packed in glass and are vacuum sealed. Delivery is not refrigerated as our products are not sensitive to temperature variations during transport.
After receiving your order, please place the jars in the refrigerator. This guarantees the best quality of collagen. The gelatine can only form in the refrigerator.
Please note! Do not freeze full jars. The jars can explode or burst in the freezer! Babs is not responsible for damage caused by an incorrect storage method.
Warmer weather presents additional challenges. Especially when it comes to transporting food. Even if it does not need to be refrigerated during transport. We prefer to refrigerate our products to preserve the quality of the gelatine (collagen).
Therefore, during the warmer days (+24 C) we use 100% ECO-friendly cooling bags. These bags are reusable and fully recyclable. The packaging is made of kraft and is filled with water. When you want to throw away the cooling element, just cut open the bag and pour out the water. The cool packs cool for up to 30 hours.
Postnl is obliged to make 2 delivery attempts to the indicated address. Babs is not responsible for the 3rd delivery attempt! After the last attempt, the parcel will be returned to Babs. You will then receive a refund minus the full shipping costs of € 6.95.
So make sure you are home at the agreed time to avoid your package being returned!
