    If you receive a package that has been damaged during shipping, we're sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. Here are the steps you can take to resolve the issue:

    1. Document the damage: Before opening the package, take photos of the exterior of the box to document the damage. Then, open the package and take photos of the damaged items.
    2. Contact the carrier: Contact the carrier as soon as possible to report the damage and file a claim. They may request photos of the damage and may schedule a time to inspect the package.
    3. Contact our customer service team: Please contact our customer service team to let us know about the damage to your package. We may be able to assist you with filing a claim with the carrier and/or issuing a replacement order.
    4. Keep all packaging materials: The carrier may request to inspect the packaging materials, so be sure to keep all of the original packaging and damaged items until the claim is resolved.

    Please note that the carrier may take several days to process the claim, and the resolution will depend on the carrier's policies and procedures. We will do our best to assist you with the claims process and ensure that you receive a replacement or refund as quickly as possible.

    We are partnering with reliable carriers but sometimes packages do get lost or delivered incorrectly. If your package is missing, there are a few steps you can take to try to locate it:

    1. Check your tracking information: If your package was shipped with a tracking number, check the status of the package on the shipping carrier's website. This will show you the most recent location of the package and any updates on its delivery status.

      2. Contact the carrier: If your tracking information indicates that your package has been delivered, but you have not received it, contact the carrier directly to inquire about the delivery. Sometimes, packages are delivered to the wrong address or left in a secure location.

      3. Check with your neighbors: It's possible that your package was delivered to a neighbour by mistake. Check with your neighbors to see if they have received any packages addressed to you.

      4. Contact our customer service team: If you have taken these steps and are still unable to locate your package, please contact our customer service team. We will work with you to investigate the situation and determine the best course of action, which may include filing a claim with the carrier or issuing a replacement order.

    Please note that we are not responsible for lost or stolen packages once they have been delivered to the address provided at checkout. However, we will do everything we can to help you locate your missing package and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

    However, if your order has already been shipped or is in the process of being shipped, we may not be able to make any changes to it. In that case, you may need to return the item(s) and place a new order.

    Please note that for international shipments, the receiver may be subject to additional taxes, duties, or customs fees, which are not included in the purchase price or shipping cost. These charges are the responsibility of the receiver and may be collected by the customs authority in the destination country. It is advisable to check with the customs office or relevant authorities in your country for information on potential taxes and duties before placing an international order.

    Some items might be out of stock once in a while. Usually, items are no longer available at that moment. If an item is out of stock, you can request a notification when it becomes available again.

    Sometimes, it makes sense to offer a pre-order option to give you the chance to order in advance e.g. if time or stock is limited. This allows you to reserve items that are not currently in stock but will be available in the future, ensuring you don't miss out on them.

    Please note that if you place an order with pre-ordered items and other available products, they will be shipped together once new stock arrives. If you need certain products immediately, please place a separate order.

    If you pre-order items, you will be charged during the checkout process when you place your order. Immediate payment is required to guarantee the reservation of your pre-ordered items. Once the pre-ordered items are available, they will be promptly shipped to you.

    For your own comfort please loosen all points and detach the clips before you start the assembly. Loosen paper stars through a light rotation of each point.
    For assembling a star with mixed colours (yellow/red or white/red) always start with a red point and make sure that no two points with the same color are directly adjacent to each other.

    A plastic star giftbox (A4/A7) with lighting kit contains 17 square points, 8 triangular points, a set of clips, 1 cover cap, 1 cord and a bulb. The A13 encloses a cover plate instead of the cover cap and a set of bolts and nuts instead of the clips.

    A paper star gift box (i4-i8) with lighting kit contains 18 square points (1 point as a replacement), 9 triangular points (1 point as a replacement), 1 set of clips, and 1 x suspension link.

    In the case of heavy rainfall, water may accumulate in the lower points of your outdoor plastic star. While this should not affect its overall safety, you may want to slightly cut the lowest point (approximately 2 millimeters) to help the water run through more easily.

    There is no hook device, it hangs from the cord itself! The provided ribbon makes it save enough, even during windy days.

    The best way to get the pins in is to use a flat-head screwdriver to carefully push or pry open the clips, then insert each pin one at a time. Start with one clip and then work around the edges of the panel until all the pins are installed. Take your time, and ensure that each pin is properly seated before moving on to the next one.

    To increase flexibility, you can try gently bending the pins back and forth before inserting them. Don't try to push the pins through both points at one time; start by inserting them into one piece first, then move on to the other. If you plan on disassembling once the season is over, keep the pins in the upper points to save time next year. Additionally, assembling the pins in warmer temperatures makes them less brittle and less likely to break.

    In the unlikely event of losing the connection between the cable and the socket please follow the next steps:

    • At first, loosen the screw with a small screwdriver
    • Second, you need to insert the cable next to the screw inside the socket
    • Finally, fix the screw again

    The connection is now restored. You can also find a video in our section assembly instructions.

    Please refer to the safety instructions that come with all our products for important information.

    You can also see the most important safety instruction here:

    1. To illuminate the star we recommend our lighting sets 
      plastic stars: cable 5m / 10m long, E26 socket and cable, and a bulb
      paper stars: cable 5m, E12 socket and cable, and a bulb
    2. Never use a bulb that is more than 40 Watts.
    3. Before you use the star make sure there is enough space between the bulb and the star. Under no circumstances should they touch each other.
    4. Never hang up the star close to candles and other inflammable materials.
    5. Never hang up the star only on the cable, always use the cord.
    6. Make sure that the star always hangs free.
    7. The star may be only used for decoration. It is not a toy.
    8. Please store the star (especially the paper star) in a dry place and avoid high temperatures.
    9. In the case of severe rain, it is possible that water collects in the lowest square point of your outdoor plastic star. It has no bearing on the safety.
      Tip: You could slightly shorten (approx. 2mm) the lowest
