FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Shipping & Delivery
I received a damaged package
We're sorry if you received a damaged package.
Are the items I ordered in good condition?
If only the package was damaged and you'd like to return an item, you can simply use any packaging of your choice for the return shipment. Please use the return documents you receive through our returns portal—this will ensure the return is sent to the correct address.
Please understand that we cannot replace damaged shipping materials.
Was an item damaged during shipping, or is it missing?
To do this, you must file a damage report with DHL. Please send us photos of the packaging and your order details tosupport@valkental.de. Alternatively, you can go directly to our contact form at https://valkental.com/pages/hilfe.
Where is my package?
We'll let you know the estimated delivery time for your order both in the order summary and in your order confirmation email. Please note, however, that this time may vary depending on the items you've selected and the shipping method.
Why hasn't my order been shipped yet?
We need a little time to prepare your order for shipping. We usually ship orders within 48 hours, but in some exceptional cases, it may take a little longer.
Can I change the delivery time or method for my package?
Yes, that's possible! Our shipping partners, DHL and DHL Express, will always send you an email to notify you that your package is on its way. Using this notification, you can specify your preferred delivery location—such as a package pickup location—or change the delivery date.
What happens if I'm not home when the first delivery attempt is made?
If the delivery person doesn't find you at home, you can check the tracking information to see if your package was left with a neighbor or at a pickup location, for example. Occasionally, the delivery person will make another attempt to deliver it.
My package should have arrived by now!
Please check the tracking information to see if the package was left with a neighbor. If it isn't with a neighbor and the shipping status hasn't changed in 5 days, please contact us—you'll find our contact options below.

I entered the wrong address

♻️ Products Made from Recycled Plastic ♻️
To combat the growing problem of marine pollution, we as a company have decided to develop and manufacture new products made from recycled materials.
For example, the second version of the ValkPro, the ValkOcean —our handlebar bags—as well as the Explorer are already made from recycled plastic. Some of this plastic was retrieved from the ocean by fishermen as bycatch. Our material supplier purchases the plastic bycatch and recycles it into new material.
Are the products from Valkental sustainable?
Many of our products are made from recycled plastic, which is sourced, among other things, from PET bottles collected from the ocean as bycatch.
We also personally believe in sustainability through durability. As part of our consistent efforts to maximize the durability of our products, we strive to contribute to responsible and sustainable consumption.
Where are Valkental 's products manufactured?
In our search for a manufacturer that meets our quality standards and complies with all relevant labor laws, we have chosen experienced and professional factories in Vietnam and China. These countries are often associated with poor working and production conditions. In our experience, however, we work with highly innovative, hardworking, and reliable people who are always motivated to develop new technologies and take our products to the next level together with us. Furthermore, we work exclusively with BSCI-certified factories, ensuring compliance with internationally recognized standards for working conditions and human rights. We continuously monitor this through our regular audits and quality controls.
