Duif International was founded in 1956 and has become a successful, continuously growing company, importing goods from all over the world. We mainly focus on the import of 'hardware' for flowers and plants, home & garden, and gift products for retailers and wholesalers. Our range includes an extensive collection of glassware, earthenware, wickerwork, metalwork, woodwork and artificial flowers. Almost all of our product range is available from stock, in one of our distribution centres in Aalsmeer and/or Poland. Click here to read more.

Please go to our contact page for location information

In a Cash & Carry, customers can choose products from stock and carry these back with them immediately, without having to order them and wait for delivery. Go to our locations page for more information.

We have two Inspiration Centres. At the Inspiration Centre in our head office, you can seek inspiration, put together collections, and order items (including in bulk). At the Inspiration Centre in our Cash & Carry at the flower auction (Cultra), you can seek inspiration, put together collections, order items (Scan & Order) and purchase them immediately. 

Duif International supplies exclusively to businesses (Business to business). We do not sell to private individuals. 

Prices are calculated per item, based on the purchase of a packing unit (cartons). Discounts apply to purchases of pallet loads. The difference between the two prices is shown on the details page for each product. 

We believe that people should be able to experience stylish living with complete peace of mind. Our goal is to ensure that products are manufactured in a fair way, which is why we are active members of the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI). The BSCI was launched in 2003 by the Foreign Trade Association (FTA), with the vision of improving working conditions in poorer-performing countries in the global supply chain. At the core of the BSCI is implementation of the Code of Conduct. This means that we ensure our suppliers abide by principles such as no child labour, occupational health and safety and fair rewards. 

The best way to contact us when you have an issue is through your dedicated account manager. If you do not have a dedicated account manager, please get in touch with us using the details of our head office on the contact page

Shipping costs are calculated automatically in step 3 ('Payment') in the shopping cart. The calculation is based on the volume of your order. We use this system to calculate whether your order will be sent by parcel post or as a pallet delivery.    Of course, the shipping costs will depend on the delivery address and the country to which the order is to be shipped. 

If you place an order before 12 noon CET on a weekday, the order will be shipped the same day. Orders placed after 12 noon CET will be shipped the next working day.
