bambeco uses acronyms like GOTS, SKAL, Oeko-Tex. What do they mean?
The acronyms are related to certification standards from independent agencies.
- GOTS stands for the Global Organic Textile Standard. Managed by the International Working Group on Global Organic Textile Standard, its purpose is to provide a credible and meaningful assurance to the customer, by setting out requirements for organic textiles, from the harvesting of raw materials, through environmentally responsible manufacturing, up to labeling.
- SKAL is the inspection and certification body for organic products in the Netherlands.
- Oeko-Tex is an international testing and certification system for textiles, focusing primarily on limiting the use of harmful chemicals in the textile industry. The certification body tests for over 100 harmful substances in the manufacture of textiles, and the list is growing continually.

Does bambeco comply with the Federal Trade Commission's Green Guides?
Absolutely! At bambeco we do not over-represent claims about our products.
Will bambeco sell my information to other companies?
No, bambeco will not share your information with other companies. We may share your information internally with our other brands, or with our service providers who manage our customer information for the purpose of surveys, order fulfillment or promotions. But these companies are not authorized to use your information for any other purpose. Please visit our privacy policy page to read more about how bambeco values your privacy.

Does my gift card expire?
No, your gift card does not expire.
I received a bambeco gift card. Can I exchange it for cash?
No, you cannot. But why exchange a great gift for cash when you can visit our homepage www.bambeco.com, and buy from our exciting range of eco-friendly, stylish and fashionable products?
Can bambeco gift wrap my order?
Yes, most items can be gift wrapped in our eco-friendly gift wrapping for a cost of $5. There are, however, a few items that cannot be gift wrapped: these include large items such as furnitures.
Do I have to pay sales tax?
Only residents of Maryland and West Virginia pay sales tax.
Can I create a Wish List? Or several?
Yes, if you sign up for an account, you can create multiple wish lists for different occasions and events. You can also email the list to your friends and family, or have your lists searchable by family and friends using your email address. As items on your wish list are purchased, the list will be updated automatically.
Can I exchange a gift?
Yes, items that are in their original condition, and returned to us may be exchanged for other items. Just let us know what you would like the replacement to be and we will ship it to you.
What kind of eco-friendly packaging materials does bambeco use?
bambeco only uses packaging that is biodegradable and we would encourage all our customers to reuse them whenever possible. Our packing peanuts degrade completely in water (try adding one to a cup of water: it makes a good experiment!), and our bubble wrap will degrade once it finds itself in a landfill exposed to the elements. At bambeco, we are constantly trying to strike a balance between protecting the environment, and ensuring that your purchases reach you in the same excellent condition in which they left our warehouse. While our packing materials may cost more, they will not be sitting in landfills for thousands of years.
Why does the shipping box I received look like it has been used before?
At bambeco, we strive to live up to our philosophy of "Reduce, Reuse, Recycle" whenever possible. So, we try to reuse the boxes that our suppliers use to ship products to us whenever the boxes are in good condition. While these boxes will not look pristine, they help us conserve resources, so we hope you will pardon their appearance. We will, however, never reuse boxes that are in poor condition.
What is bambeco’s return policy?
We stand behind all our products, and will accept returns in exchange for refunds or store credits. You may return items purchased on our web site by mail or other carrier. All returns must be accompanied by a receipt or packing slip. Pending an inspection, a refund will be issued for all returns received in their original packaging in new condition within 30 days of purchase. Store credit will be issued for all returns received more than 30 days after purchase and/or without receipt, original packaging or new condition. Refunds and store credits will be issued for the value of the item(s) including taxes. Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable. Please follow the instructions enclosed in your order, insure the package, and ship it to:
bambeco
attention: Returns Department
4720 Benson Ave
Halethorpe, MD 21227
866.535.4144
Important: Shipping and handling charges are non-refundable.
How long does it take to process a refund?
Refunds are processed once we receive the item in its original condition, accompanied by the original packing slip. However, it may take your credit card issuer one or two billing cycles to reflect the credit.
