Frequently asked questions

In the Essentialistics wholesale webshop, we only sell to businesses. If you have a unique company number and VAT number, you can request an account. If there is not yet a point of sale with exclusivity nearby, then your account will be approved within 1-2 days.

Are you a private individual? Then you can shop here or at one of our points of sale.

Press the figure at the top right of our website and then choose "sign up". Fill in all your details on the registration form and check these details carefully. If everything is correct and complete, then you can submit the form.

Once your application has been received by us, it will be assessed within 1-2 working days. If all details are correct and we do not yet have a point of sale with exclusivity nearby, your account will be approved.

After you have created an account, we will check your application, in most cases within one working day. If everything is correct and we do not yet have a point of sale with exclusivity nearby, you will receive an e-mail from us after which you can log in to our website. All prices are now visible and you can manage your account details via your account.

Before you can place an order at our online wholesale shop, you must first log in with your business account. Do you not have an account yet? You can request one here.

You place the desired item in your digital shopping cart via the "add to shopping cart" button. Are you done shopping? Then click on the shopping cart at the top right. You will then see an overview of your order. Check your details and change them if necessary. Finally, choose the desired shipping and payment method and complete your order. After payment, you will receive a confirmation of your order by e-mail.

You will receive an order confirmation immediately after placing your order. Did you not receive an e-mail? Please check your unwanted mail (spam) first. If you have not received an e-mail, something may have gone wrong. Please contact our customer service at hello@essentialistics.com.

Unfortunately, our system cannot make changes to orders once they have been placed. We would therefore like to emphasize that you should always check whether you have entered the correct personal details before finalizing your order.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to change or cancel an order. This means that it is important that you always check your order carefully before finalizing your order.

We offer exclusivity for our physical points of sale if you buy directly from us (so not via a wholesale platform such as Ankorstore or Orderchamp). If you want exclusivity, you are obliged to purchase (part of) the new collection each season (per half year) with a total value of €500 excl. VAT. Depending on the size of the city/village and the number of inhabitants (and if relevant tourists), you will get exclusivity for (a part of) a certain city/village.

Webshops and physical points of sale where you only come by appointment (such as beauty salons and hairdressers) are excluded from exclusivity.

If you do not meet the minimum order value for exclusivity for a season, the exclusivity will automatically expire.

For each order, the minimum order value is €100 excl. VAT.

This is possible. You can visit our showroom to view our current collection. We can also come by with our collection on location in the Netherlands or Belgium. For our jewellery, it is also possible to request a sample package. This package consists of 3 bestsellers. This way you can see the jewellery and experience the quality. You can request a sample package here.

It is possible to reserve certain products through a preorder. These products have been back-ordered by us and are therefore on their way to our wholesaler. You can order these items now so you are sure you do not miss out. As soon as the items are received by us, they are immediately sent to the customer. Preorders must always be paid in advance.

Our items can also be purchased through the wholesale platforms of Ankorstore and Orderchamp. Please note: orders placed via a wholesale platform do not count if you want exclusivity for your store.

At Essentialistics, you can pay with the following payment methods:

• iDEAL
• Bancontact
• KBC/CBC Payment

We are sorry that you received a damaged or broken item! In that case, we ask you to contact our customer service by app or e-mail. Send an app to +31628522363 or an e-mail to hello@essentialistics.com. Please include your order number and a photo of the damaged or broken item.

We advise you to check whether the items you are missing are not preorders that will be delivered later. If this is not the case, it is best to contact customer service by phone (+31628522363) or e-mail (hello@essentialistics.com), and we will solve it together with you.

It is possible that your package has been delayed by the carrier. We therefore advise you to first take a look at the track and trace code that you received by e-mail. This indicates the status of the delivery. If this does not provide more information, you can contact our customer service. This can be done by telephone on +31(0)628522363 or by mail to hello@essentialistics.com. Do not forget to state your order number.

During holidays and promotions, it is often busier than usual at Essentialistics and PostNL. Despite this, we always do everything we can to process your package as quickly as possible. However, keep in mind that your order may arrive a little later than you are used to from us. Keep a close eye on the track and trace for the most up-to-date delivery information.

Essentialistics jewellery is made of stainless steel. This material has an endless list of benefits. The jewellery does not discolour and is waterproof. The jewellery is also nickel free and hypoallergenic. As a result, the chance of an allergic reaction is extremely small. Furthermore, this material is very light, making jewellery made of this material comfortable to wear and the material does not scratch easily. Stainless steel is also very environmentally friendly because it is 100% recyclable and the energy used and wasted during the process is considerably less than with other metals used for jewellery.

Our jewellery does not discolour, not even in contact with water. This applies to both our silver- and gold-coloured jewellery. To achieve the gold colour, a vacuum coating process (called PVD) is used. This process leads to an extremely durable coating.

All our jewellery is nickel free and hypoallergenic.

Although the jewellery does not discolour, the jewellery will stay beautiful for the longest time if you follow the following tips:

• Take off your jewellery when you go to sleep, shower, swim or exercise. Water, moisture and perspiration can dull your jewellery.
• Always allow perfume, body lotion, hair spray, sunscreen or other care products to absorb well before putting on your jewellery so that they do not become dull.
• Be careful with cleaning products and chlorinated water. These can dull your jewellery.
• Do not wear your jewellery during intensive work. This way you prevent unnecessary damage and scratches.
• Store your jewellery in a dark place, preferably in a bag or box, when you are not wearing a certain item, so that the air cannot affect it.
• Store your jewellery separately from each other. This way the jewellery cannot damage each other and you also prevent chains from getting tangled.
• Always close your jewellery, such as a necklace, before storing it. This will prevent scratches and the jewellery from getting entangled with itself.

The stones and pearls are a natural product, which means that the dimensions and colours may vary. The stones and pearls can become dull or discolour due to long exposure to light or water. So pay close attention to this.

The candles are made of sustainable and environmentally friendly materials. We work with renewable stearin consisting of animal fat residues from the food industry and vegan soy wax made from natural soybeans. The wicks are made of lead free pure cotton.

Jewellery

Our jewellery has a warranty period of 6 months. If the period of 6 months has passed, this does not mean that the jewellery will discolour. However, after this period we can no longer offer a guarantee because certain resources can affect the colour of the jewellery, such as aggressive cleaning products. We, therefore, recommend that you follow our tips to enjoy your jewellery for as long as possible.

Other items

All other items have a warranty period of 1 month.

Is an item broken or damaged within the warranty period? Please contact us at hello@essentialistics.com. State your order number and send a photo of the broken/damaged item.

Have you bought something at one of our points of sale? In that case, the warranty will pass via the relevant point of sale.

If the warranty period has expired, we unfortunately cannot help you further.

This differs per product. If you want to be kept informed, we recommend that you register on the product page of a sold out product for a "back in stock" notification.
