Next to our broad range of home and interior decorations from our own brand “Home Society” we are also the official wholesaler of “Bridgewater Candle Company” fragrance products for more than 22 years. We sell Bridgewater room fragrance, body care and laundry care mainly in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Italy.

You can see the availability of a product on our website. Just click on the desired product and the availability will be visible where you can enter the amount of products you want to order. It’s showing a green line and field when it’s on stock. Is it orange? Then it’s currently not in stock. You can get more information if you click on the small “i” (info sign) right above the green (or orange) line. There you can also see when it will be on stock again.

Environmental friendliness starts with awareness. In the last few years, Home Society is trying to keep an eye on the environment in the production of our goods, product development and supply chain. We are surely no environmental pioneers, but everyone is starting somewhere and we believe in a greener future of Home Society. Small steps that we have already implemented in our day to day business: For example we chose DHL as a carrier who compensates their CO2 emissions. That means that all the packages you receive from us are delivered climate friendly.  Read more about sustainability at Home Society here.

Don't worry! Twice a year we refresh the database with all (new) customers. So it might take some time until the next time your details are read in by our system. Just have a little bit more patience. You don't want to be found in the shop locator? Mail us info@homesociety.nl

In the Netherlands, orders above €300 (excluding VAT) are delivered free of shipping costs.  For orders below €300, €15 shipping costs will be charged. For deliveries outside the Netherlands other shipping costs apply. 

You can see the agreed estimated date of shipping in your order confirmation that we sent to you. For precise tracking you can check the status of your order in your online customer account. Just click on “My shipments”.

We regret to hear that your order did not arrive with you like you expected. Don’t worry, we will take care of it. In case of missing or broken items, please send an email at claims@homesociety.nl mentioning your customer number, the number of the delivery note, the item numbers and the number of missing pieces or damaged items and the number of pieces. In the latter case, please always attach photos of the items showing exactly what is defective. Do not attach photos to the text, but always as a file attachment. Especially pictures from Iphones are very large and very inefficient to process if included in the text.

We only accept complaints sent to us by email. It is not possible to send claims to our sales agents . 

If you did not receive all the items on the delivery receipt, check the number of boxes you should have received. If the packages are not complete, wait 1 or 2 days for the remaining packages. Deliveries are often made over the course of a few days. Items that were not available for delivery will be listed on the delivery receipt under the heading "My open orderlines". These items will then be delivered at a later date.

Please check our delivery note for the items received. We pack as efficiently as possible, i.e. some items may be spread across multiple boxes. Please unpack all boxes before claiming missing items. 

If there are missing items after all, please send us a mail at claims@homesociety.nl

We do our best to ship your order in one shipment. It may happen that due to the availability of raw materials and corona restrictions which still occur in the countries of origin, delivery times are longer than we would like.Therefore, we cannot prevent your order from being delivered in partial shipments. Whenever we can, we will deliver a portion of your order. When your shipment leaves our warehouse, our system creates the invoice and you will receive an email with a link to DHL to track your package. This link will allow you to track your shipment from the time of shipment to the time of delivery.

Note: As each box has its own tracking number, DHL will not treat your shipment as one shipment, but as 3, 4 or 5 shipments, depending on the number of boxes in the shipment. These boxes do not belong together, so it is possible that part of the shipment will arrive one day and the remaining box or boxes a day or two later. Please wait a few days after the first delivery before contacting us to ask about the remaining packages. Items not yet available for delivery will be held on backorder and delivered at a later date. If you do not wish this, please indicate this and we will cancel the backorder.

Yes, you can arrange that yourself! It’s very easy to do so in the My DHL app. This is possible from the moment your parcel rolls over the sorting until the delivery driver presses the bell.

That’s possible! Please inform us in advance by phone or email so we can put it ready for your pick up. 

Our standard payment term is SEPA direct debit. We will send you a SEPA form that allows us to debit the invoice amount from your account (30 days from the invoice date). If you do not wish to use direct debit, we will ask you to pay for the goods before they are shipped (prepayment). 

You will receive an invoice from us by mail for items that are ready to ship. This may not include your entire order, as we are often forced to make partial deliveries. We ship the goods within 2 days of receiving the amount. If you have opted for prepayment, you will receive a second invoice after the goods have been shipped, confirming your payment and the final amount of 0€. 

You can see your back orders in “My open order lines” in your customer account online. There you can also see the estimated date of delivery for each product. As soon as there are enough products available for a shipment, we will send (a part of all the products from) the back order to you. 

You can just place an order in our webshop again with the desired articles. If you want you can add a note in the comment field that we should send this order together with the existing order. Alternatively you can also send us a mail with the desired products and we will place this order for you. 

If you place a second order online, get in touch with us, so we can make sure that you get free shipping in case this applies for your joint new order sum.

Please fill in the discount code in the comment field of your order. We will process your order and make sure that your discount will be deducted or the promotion will be added to your order.
