NOTE: Please check your spam inbox and search for "Deutsche Post" before reaching out, 99% of the times it ends up there, if you don't have it in your primary inbox.

We do not hold orders, no. We ship releases as they arrive to the warehouse. It's a one-man operation, so administrational it's just not possible. 

Thank you for understanding.

Yes. You can cancel or return your order within the following timeframe: 

• You can cancel your order within 14 days of placing your order. 
• You can return your order within 14 days after receiving your goods.

All cancellations will be deducted with 1,5 euros to cover the fee of refunding.

Note for returns: 

We only accept returns if the record is still intact, which means the record should still be shrinkwrapped and in the condition of a new record. 

When you choose to return a record for whatever reason, we will not be paying for return-postage and we will not be refunding the shipping cost from when you placed your order, only for the product.

If the above applies to your situation, please send us an e-mail on: copenhagencrates@gmail.com and please add your order number to your e-mail also.

Thank you.

We have insurance on all of our packages with DHL. If your products were damaged upon arrival, please send us an e-mail at copenhagencrates@gmail.com with pictures of the following:

1.        Outside, the packet with damages - The shipping label with barcode should be visable.

2.        The open packet with packaging and the item inside

3         The item with the packaging around and how the damage looks like.

4.        The Item with the damaged

We will make a claim with our shipping carrier DHL, and they will take a stand regarding the damages. 

IMPORTANT!: A minor bend in the cover corner will not be approved for insurance, and neither do seam splits - Instead ask for your records to be shipped outside the jacket, if you want to make sure your product arrives 100% intact. This is also noted in "Terms & Conditions" when you purchase your products.

No. All questions and requests need to go through the official channel of either e-mailing us directly, or doing it through the contact-form on the website. 

We cannot locate, find and verify people by SoMe usernames. Therefore we need you to contact us through e-mail regarding anything order related, so we can ensure you are who you claim, and so we can get in contact with you if needed. 

Yes! Orders above 250€ will give you free shipping on the entire order, worldwide. 

Note:

We can maximum ship 2 kilos (7 LP's) in one package and therefore you can possibly receive your order in 2 or more packages, depending on the size of your order, read more here.

If it's regarding a new release. On the productpage you will see a section in the bottom named "Shipping" which include an estimated shipping date for that new product. You can also keep yourself updated right here: Shipping updates (New Releases)

If it's an older release. We try to ship in two-week batches. If you want your record quick, I'll suggest you place an order right before the second drop each month, which will make the dispatch time smaller for you.

Not necessarily. We ship everything with DHL, which means we export data from the webshop in good time to prepare the shipping labels, and when we export the data, the app will tell you that the order is "Fulfilled". But your order haven't actually been shipped off, but are being handled and prepared - You will receive a tracking link directly from DHL when the order has been shipped.

Meanwhile you can keep yourself updated here for estimated shipping status on all releases: 

Shipping status

All orders that are combinable happens automatically, and you will automatically be refunded for redundant shipping cost, so there is no need to contact us for this purpose. You will be refunded atleast 2 weeks before the estimated shipping date, as we do this when we handle the orders, meaning when we do the shipping labels. 

We always combine orders that are possible in line with how we receive the physical records at our warehouse. We usually ship 2-3 new titles (catalogue-wise) together. It can vary. But it depends on the production company and best believe we try our best to save you any money possible, but also respect that adminstrationally, it is not possible to hold order-requests. 

Note:

We are limited to ship 2 kilos (Approx. 5-7 records depending on weight of the jacket, printed innersleeves, vinyl etc.) per package, so if you have 2 separate orders of 1,5 kilos - We cannot combine as it makes 3 kilos. Thank you for understanding. We're working on a solution, where we can make it easier and cheaper for customers. 

This combinement will not apply to danish customers, as we're already giving customers from Denmark a price below of what we pay for shipping.

Yes. It's normal. When we release the tracking links, it's because we need some documents to print in order to ship your order, so sometimes we release the tracking links some time before the package is actually going out.

Please look here at the update page on when you can expect your order to ship:

The shipping carrier deal we have with DHL only allows us to ship 2 kilos per package, which roughly amounts to 6 vinyl records, so if you've ordered 7 or more records you most likely will receive your order in 2 packages. 

You will ofcourse not be charged for this package-split shipment. We stay within this deal, because it gives the customers the cheapest and best form of shipping. If we had to upgrade the deal, it would be more expensive for the customer, so we made the decision to do it this way. 

In case your shipment are being returned to us due to whichever reason, we will be contacting you per e-mail when the package has been returned at our warehouse. 

If the return-package are due to a mistake by us, Copenhagen Crates or due to a mistake by Deutsche Post, we will ofcourse be shipping the package back without any extra fees. 

If your package was not picked up at the post office, or if you placed your order with a wrong address or errors similar to this. You will be charged half shipping price to have it sent back out again.

NOTE: 

Please be patient for the return package. Deutsche Post return shipments usually take longer than a regular delivery from B2C. We will write you as soon as we receive it!

We do not take on request for special packaging, as we have the strongest mailers available to us on the market, and we have a very small request for insurance on damaged packages. The policy of our shipping carrier is to handle all packages with care, and that's what we believe in what they do - which they also do. Ofcourse, sometimes packages are badly handled, and there's really no getting around such thing as it comes down to each single worker for the shipping carrier, and we can ofcourse not affect that in any way or shape. It happens, unfortunately - but we have insurance on all packages for those few instances of this happening. 

But you can do a couple of things to prevent seam splits and bend corners, you can ask for your records to be shipped outside the jacket, and by doing that you increase the chance of small bends and seam splits not happening.
