Important TNT Update

Hi everybody,

I was informed today by TNT that they are no longer offering STANDARD shipping. Unfortunately, this means that all packages will have to be shipped with their PRIORITY service. I find this a very strange decision, but I can't change the rules here.

We have made a deal with UPS and can offer you very low rates. Packages that are shipped with UPS arrive within 2 business days (depending on your location) and one of the most important things: you know where your package is at all times due to their tracking system.

Our system should be updated with the new TNT rates after the weekend.

Bikes & Accessories

We have noticed a demand for typically Dutch folding bikes lately. You ask, we deliver! We have added a selection of beautiful, sturdy folding bikes at affordable prices.



While you're at it, why not upgrade your bike with our accessories? Perhaps a Delfts Blue Bike Cap, Bicycle Basket, or custom Bicycle Bell is something for you?

Giro 555 Donations

We deeply feel for the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. Therefore, we will be donating €5.55 for every order placed during January, 2010 to Giro 555.

A new year..new plans

Hi guys,

I can't believe it's 2010 already. Where did 2009 go? I do remember that the final quarter of 2009 was very, very busy. But that's a good thing. I like it best when it's busy.

The year 2009 has been a year of new ventures for us. We started shippping frozen Dutch food and Dutch vla, as well as fresh Dutch ready-made meals. This has been a very exciting process and we're happy that we took that plunge into the unknown. We can finally satisfy your urges for Kroketten, Bitterballen, and Frikandellen.

We also did our very first fair in the fall of 2009, the Expatica Fair, which was a very useful experience. We met loads of interesting people and learned a lot.

2009 was also a year of new business relationships. We started a partnership with Sunflowerjewels, who have created a unique line of Delfts Blue jewelry exclusively for us. We're selling unique, handmade in Holland, leather baby slippers from Baby Dutch.

We have more plans for 2010! Keep your eyes open for a whole new website design of Typical Dutch Stuff and a line of unique and original products.

I want to end this post with a picture I took just before we left Holland for a short Christmas vacation to Tenerife, Spain.

Holiday ordering schedule

We're in the middle of the fabulous holiday season. We want your typically Dutch holiday food and gifts to arrive in time. Since all of our products are shipped from the Netherlands, please take the following order deadlines into consideration to ensure delivery by Christmas:

Europe (TNT): Order by December 14

We recommend using UPS for your holiday orders, because the regular postal services are often delayed during the holidays.
