No, there is no maximum order quantity, but if your order weighs more than 17kg, the order will be split into several parts. This is because of the Occupational Health and Safety Act for the carrier of DHL. It is, therefore, possible that one package arrives a little later than the other. For orders over 17kg you also pay more shipping costs, because this is then packed and shipped in multiple parts.
0kg> up to 17kg: 1x postage
17kg> up to 34kg: 2x postage
34kg> up to 51kg: 3x postage
Please contact us if you want to order more than 50 kilos. For orders over 50 kilos, we work with different pricing.
The fresh products are grown in our own greenhouses in the Netherlands during the summer season (April to November). During the winter season (November-April) the products come from the countries Spain, Israel and Morocco, where we have been working with the same growers for years. This allows us to offer peppers, bell peppers & tomatillo’s all year round.
Some of the dried products we have grown and dried ourselves in the Netherlands. Another part comes from Mexico, Spain, or India. This is indicated per product in the product description.
The sauces are handmade at a local company with our own fresh products.
Many of our products are available all year round, but during the winter season (November-April) some fresh products are not available. This is because not all our products are grown abroad by our growers. This is indicated per product in the product description.
If a product is no longer available, this will be indicated in the webshop as ‘not available/out of stock’. It is possible that a product is temporarily out of stock or that these products will be available again when the new Dutch growing season starts again in March/April. You can sign up for a waiting list, you will receive an email as soon as this product is available again.
Fresh chilli peppers
It is best to store the fresh chillies in the refrigerator or in a cool dark place in a pantry, cellar cabinet, barn etc. The ideal temperature is between 10 °C and 13 °C, then the chillies stay the longest good, about 7 to 14 days*. It is also possible to freeze the chillies, then you always have a supply of peppers. Click here for more information about freezing peppers or other ways to preserve them for a long time.
Fresh herbs
It is best to store the fresh herbs in the fridge. Wash the leaves with cold water and wrap them in a few sheets of paper towel or a sandwich bag. Keep this in the vegetable drawer of your fridge. This way the herbs stay good the longest, about 1 week. It is also possible to freeze or dry the leaves. Click here for more information.
Dried products
To keep dried chillies good for a long time, it’s best to store them in an airtight container in the pantry or even better, in the freezer. Avoid exposure to air, moisture, light and heat, which can cause the dried chillies to discolour, mould and lose their flavour.
The dried chillies have a long shelf life, but for optimum flavour and spiciness we advise to not store them for longer than a year*. Click here for more information on storing and freezing dried chillies.
Sauces
Store the sauce in a cool, dark and dry place. For example, in the cellar or a cool pantry. After opening store in the refrigerator. See the beste before date on the label of the bottle. After opening, the shelf life is limited. We recommend ±4 weeks*, but can be longer if it still looks, smells and tastes good.
* The most important advice for all products is; see if the product still looks good, smell the product and taste if it is still good. Then it is also possible that the product is still good for longer than mentioned above.
It cannot be said exactly how many products are in 500/100g. But see below an indication of the number per variety, it may be that your order contains more or less peppers. This is because peppers are nature products and not everyone pepper has the same size and weight, this can also differ per summer/winter season, so this is only an indication.
Indication of the number of products in 500 gram:
Indication number of dried products in 100 grams:
If you have a complaint about the products that have been delivered or about your order, please send an email to westlandpeppersinfo@gmail.com.
If the complaint concerns damaged / mouldy products, we ask you to let us know within 1 working day, after receiving the products, by emailing us with a clear picture of the damaged products. Then we can offer a solution. Because of hygiene/food safety, it is not possible to return the package.
We cannot guarantee the spiciness of the chilli peppers. Each product has a detailed description of its flavour and spiciness but does not mention any specific Scoville value. Chilli peppers are natural products and depend on the natural conditions, this means that a pepper needs a lot of light and warmth to reach its spiciness. In the months January, February and March when the peppers come from Spain, Morocco, and Israel it is possible that the peppers are less spicy due to little sunlight. This can also happen in the summer months when we have less sun than normal here in the Netherlands. Because of this, Westlandpeppers cannot give any guarantees about the hotness of the peppers.
We regularly test the chilli peppers for their spiciness, but of course, we cannot test everything. Because of this, it is possible that you may have received products that are less or not spicy. We ask for your understanding. For more information please contact us.
Chilies and bell peppers are natural products and we have no influence on the size of the product. At the beginning of the growing season, of both the summer and winter season, some peppers are often a bit coarser, this is due to little light in which the fruit is produced. In the summer there is a much larger amount of light, because of this the plant regulates its own growth and balance through the setting and the amount of fruit. This means that the chili can be a lot finer, all because the plant produces it more easily. So this is a natural process that we as a grower have no influence on. We ask for your understanding.
The only thing we as a grower can influence is choosing the right varieties. Of the Rawit and Pimientos de Padron, we have a coarser variety than some people are used to. This is because the quality and productivity of these varieties are better. Please take this into account when ordering.
If, for example, you have ordered 500gr of 4 products, they may be packed in one box. We do this because if this is wrapped separately in plastic, it can start to brew in the box. This is of course not good for the products. We also want to limit the amount of packaging material. The products are placed separated in the box, but it is possible that it gets mixed up a bit during transport. We ask for your understanding. Our experience with sending fresh products shows that this is a good method. You can always use the clear photos in the webshop to separate the products.
You can pay in the Westlandpeppers webshop with; IDEAL, credit card (+€1,95), PayPal (+€2,95), SOFORT Banking, or Bancontact.
If you are unable to pay via the webshop, please send us an e-mail with your name and possibly your order number. We will then send you a separate payment request via email. As soon as this has been paid, we will start to prepare and ship your order or make it ready for collection.

We charge a minimum of €6,10 (per 17 kilos) for shipping your order. These costs include shipping and packaging costs.
Shipping costs per country per 17 kilos:
If an order weighs more than 17kg, the order will be split into several parts. This is due to the Working Conditions Act for the carrier of DHL. Because the order is packed and shipped in several parts, you also pay more shipping costs.
If you order in the Netherlands and some parts in Belgium before 09:30 am, the order will be delivered to your home the next working day by DHL. If you order after 09:30 am, it may take 1 to 2 working days for your order to be delivered by DHL. For all other customers ordering outside the Netherlands a delivery time of 3 to 5 working days applies.
As soon as your order has been processed and picked up by DHL, you will receive a Track & Trace code. With this code, you can see exactly where the parcel is located. It is possible that through the settings of your e-mail address, the mail from DHL with the Track & Trace code has ended up in the spam box. It is also possible that it will take several hours before DHL’s planning becomes visible.
Please note that orders placed after 12:00 pm on Friday will not be processed before the weekend. This happens on Monday! This is to prevent the fresh products from staying in (warm) depots throughout the weekend.
Your order will be shipped by the transport company DHL where Westlandpeppers has a partnership with. The package will be shipped in an extra-strong export box which will be carefully packed. For the filling and packaging material that is needed, Westlandpeppers uses (old) cardboard boxes. This is better for the environment and you can simply place this cardboard with the waste paper for recycling.
It is important to fill in your email address when ordering, through this email address you will receive multiple emails related to your order. After your order has been processed and picked up by DHL, you will receive a Track & Trace code. With this code, you can see exactly where the package is located. It is possible that, due to the settings of your email address, the mail from DHL with the Track & Trace code has ended up in the spambox. It may also take several hours for DHL’s planning to become visible.
International customers can follow the package via www.dhlparcel.nl/nl/track-trace. On this page, you can select the desired language at the top right. Fill in the country of destination, the Track & Trace code you received via e-mail and your postal code. Click on “Find package” and you will see the status of your package.
No, it is not possible to choose to ship the order by post. Your shipment will always be sent as a “package”, even if you only order a smaller package. Our experience is that products in a letter post packaging quickly ‘mold’ and are delivered less fresh. Because of this, we have chosen to ship all orders in an export box.
If you would want the order to be delivered to a shared business location, please indicate in the order comments how the DHL carrier will get your parcel to the right place. This can be done by means of a telephone number or a clear explanation of where you are located in the building. This is to prevent parcels from being sent back unnecessarily because they are not accepted by another company.
