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. Returns
4.1 I want to claim the manufacturer's warranty. What happens now?

In case of defects in our products, where factory warranty may apply, these should always be returned to our suppliers. We are not initially responsible for the cost of returning these products. After review by our supplier, if the claim is approved, we will send you a new copy of the same product free of charge. Should the same item no longer be available, we will ship a similar product in consultation with you. It is important to note that strings of rackets are not reimbursed under the manufacturer's warranty.

Of course, your return costs will also be refunded if you are entitled to the manufacturer's warranty.

Please follow the step-by-step plan below.

Step-by-step plan

  1. You believe that you are entitled to the manufacturer's warranty and that the product has not been mishandled
  2. Reasons why warranty claims may be rejected:
      • Paint damage to rackets showing that the racket has been in contact with an object other than a shuttle
      • More KGs have been put on the frame at your request when this exceeds the maximum
  3. You contact KW FLEX at [email protected] and explain the situation. Often we can already do an initial assessment and estimate the chances of success
  4. If the manufacturer's warranty is used, the product must be sent to the supplier.
    • You send the product directly to the supplier using a KW FLEX shipping label
    • You send the product to KW FLEX using a shipping label
  5. You initially pay the return costs yourself
    • The request is rejected by the supplier, the shipping costs are NOT refunded, and you do not receive a replacement product
    • The request is approved, the shipping costs ARE refunded, and you are entitled to the same article (or equivalent), which is sent to you free of charge
4.2 What are the warranty conditions for VICTOR badminton rackets?

In the event of a break in the handle and/or grip, the racket will in most cases be reimbursed with the same racket without discussion. If this racket is no longer available, an alternative will be supplied in consultation with the customer. Torn or broken racket sheets will only be reimbursed if there is no paint damage caused by collision with another object. If in doubt, it is always wise to contact us first. Please send us a message with date of purchase, photos and explanation of the problem to [email protected].

4.3 How long may I return a product?

At KW FLEX, you always have 30 days after delivery to examine your item and, if it is not to your liking, to return it. This may be done without giving a reason, but we always want to improve our service, so of course we would like to hear why you are returning it. In this way, we can adjust the product description or photos if necessary, so that other users can read more or the correct information (unfortunately, even we sometimes make mistakes or receive incorrect information).

4.4 When may I not return a product?

Products should always be returned unused and in the original unopened article packaging. Of course, you may try on your shoes and clothing and try them inside on a soft surface. You may try on rackets in the hall, but please make sure there is no damage to the racket (kicking the shuttle off the ground, bumping into other objects).

In the following situations a product cannot be returned:

  • Rackets with the plastic removed from the grip. (Put a temporary test grip on it)
  • Rackets that have been strung according to your preferences.
  • Clothing that you have had printed.
  • Shoes and clothing must still have the card attached to the product.
4.5 What are the costs for returns?

The cost of returning letterbox mail is borne by the buyer.

The cost of returning parcel post is:

    • €6.95 in the Netherlands
    • €8.95 in Belgium
    • €8.95 in Germany
    • €13.95 in France

The cost of returning parcel or letter post from countries other than the Netherlands, Belgium, France or Germany is entirely the responsibility of the buyer.

4.6 Where do I report returns?

4.7 Can I return my new racket with strings?

Yes, you can always return your racket, but there are a few conditions.

If it concerns a racket with factory stringing, then it is certainly not a problem.
If it concerns a racket with a stringing of your choice, a % will be deducted from the value of the racket. This varies per type of racket and situation, and is determined upon return of the racket.

You may not return your racket if it is damaged through your own actions.

4.8 Can I return items which where bought in the sale?

Regardless of whether you purchased a product in the sale, promotion or regular range. Everything can be returned if it meets our conditions. You can read this on the returns page.

5. Partial shipments
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. Lowest price guaranteed
6.1 What rules are there for the lowest price guarentee?

The lowest price guarantee is guaranteed on items that are regular range and sold as full size at competitors. If only a few sizes are available from competitors, we cannot replicate this on a one-to-one basis. Also, not valid with promotions. In some cases, shipping costs and the amount from which there is free shipping must be taken into account. If there are shipping costs, this must always be added to the amount. 

7. Questions about VAT
7.1 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.

7.2 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).

7.3 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.
