| Can i get a discount when i bring in new customers? |
| Yes! For every new customer, you will get 25 MicroMiles (worth 1). The more customers you bring in, the more you'll get. The only thing that needs to happen for this to work, is that the new customer mentions your name during his/her registration (this is clearly mentioned on the registration page). So be sure to tell everyone you know about MicroWings, and make sure they enter your name when they register. Your MicroMiles are waiting ... |

| What if I order items that are not in stock? |
In this case, we can offer you 2 possibilities.
- You can choose to wait untill everything is in stock. You do not pay now, but you wait untill the package is ready for shipment. Items that are in stock, will be safely put aside for you, and cannot be purchased by someone else.
- You can also choose to have the items in stock shipped immediately, the other items will follow later in a second shipment when everything is in stock. Right now, you pay only for the goods in the first shipment. The second payment is only done once the second package is ready to be shipped. Extra shipping costs may be charged.
During your purchase on our website, you will be offered the possibility to choose between both options. |

| You offer a shipping method called Kiala. What is that? |
Kiala consists of a network of collect-points (Kiala points). Those Kiala points are integrated in existing companies with large opening hours, such as gas stations, small neighbourhood shops ... There is always a Kiala point close to you, and you can go get your package whenever you like (early in the morning, late in the evening and even in weekends). So there is no more problem with a postman who always rings at your door with your package when you are at not home. Also no more running to the postoffice to get your package, only to find a huge qeue of waiting people in front of you. Furthermore Kiala shipments are very cheap, and you can track your package on the website.
For more information about Kiala and to find a Kiala point close to you, click here.Currently, we only offer Kiala shipments withing Belgium. However we expect to offer the service to other European countries soon. For international shipments we offer standard mail. |
[back to top]
|
| When can i expect my parcel to arrive? |
Delivery times (counting from the first business day after the day of shipment), like given by the shipping company, are as follows:
- Kiala: 4 business days (only available within Belgium)
- regular mail:
- Belgium: 1 business days
- European Union: 3 business days

|
| Why is it no longer possible to have my parcel shipped non-priority? |
| Since February 4 2008, Belgian Post does no longer offer the possibility to ship parcels non-priority. A priority shipment does cost a little more, however offers a much faster delivery time: a parcel within Europe could take about 3 weeks non-priority, but takes only 3-4 business days (sometimes only 2) priority, and this for only a few euro's extra. |

|
| General remarks |
- We only offer worldwide shipment via regular mail for now. We do hope to offer courier services in the future.
- Within Belgium we also offer shipment via Kiala.
- For Gift Certificates, no shipping costs will be calculated.
- After we have received the payment, goods are usually shipped within 2 business days (if all products are in stock). If one or more products are not in stock, the customer will be notified of this during the checkout process on our website. In case an ordered product is not deliverable anymore, the customer will be notified of this as soon as possible.
