How can I compare products?
You can select the compare button on the product list page and on the product detail page. The product which you would like to compare is then added. You can select up to 3 products to compare. When you have added the products you can click on the weighing scales or click on compare in the right top corner of your browser.
By doing so you will go to the comparison page where you can find the selected products. For each product, you can choose to delete the product from the comparison, request a quotation for it or to directly place the product in the shopping cart.
How do the filters on the website work?
If you want to look for something else, you can choose to empty the filter for each filter, or you can choose to empty the entire filter in one go. In this way you get to see all products again.

We recommend you to leave a remark in the remark box or to contact our Customer Service by telephone. They can provide you with further assistance.
Can I also plan orders?
You can repeat orders in two different ways. This is possible by clicking on the “re-order” button at the order overview in your account menu. By doing this, the same products and quantities are added to your shopping cart and you can directly go to the checkout process.
Besides that, it is also possible to make an order template. This is permanently saved in your account menu and can be loaded repeatedly to place a new order. You can find your order template in your account menu and you can add the order template to the shopping cart by clicking on the button. All products and quantities in the order template are then added to your shopping cart and you can directly go to the checkout process.
