Hi, how may we help you?
At Skerper we love quality products and good service. With a team of enthusiastic people we ship out beautiful products to our customers and try to provide great service. It is our goal to turn customers into enthusiasts!
Skerper specializes in sharpening products. Within this category we offer a very diverse range of unique products. We test these products ourselves and when we love the products, we add them on to our range. Fortunately our own customers also help each other with the product reviews that were written about these products. We keep the products we sell in stock at our own warehouse, therefore we can deliver quickly.
How does ordering on the website work?
Each product you would like to order you can: "add to shopping cart". Clicking this button will take you to the shopping cart immediately. You can continue shopping and add more products to the shopping cart, or you can go to the checkout.
The ordering process consists of 4 steps:
1. Products
This is an overview of all the products in the shopping cart. You can change the number of products you would like to order or remove them. The shipping costs differ per country of destination. If you have received a coupon code you can enter it here (gift cards are exchanged at the checkout). At the bottom of the page you will find combi-deals and accessories that go with the selected products.
2. Fill out your information
Here you fill out your personal information which will be listed on the invoice. If you would like to choose a different delivery address you can select that here.
3. Confirm your order
With confirming your order you agree to our terms and conditions. From this moment the products are reserved for you for 24 hours. As soon as you make the payment the sale is final. If you want to finish your order at another time, you automatically get an e-mail with the link to complete the order later.
4. Payment options
Here you can choose your payment method.
Change or cancel the order
If you want to adjust or cancel your order please call our customer service team directly. They know exactly where your order is located, and they can help you quickly with anything concerning your order. If your order has already been sent we can help you track the current status and/or explain to you how you can make sure the parcel is returned to us.
Stock
The current status for each product is displayed on the website. When a product is sold out we let you know by which time we expect the product back in stock. Our goal is to have every product in stock, but we are always dependent on manufacturers and suppliers whether that is possible.
Wire transfer
You can pay in advance by bank transfer. Once you have chosen to do a bank transfer we provide you with all the information needed. Please note that it may take up to a day before the money appears in our account.
