De Bijenkorf Receipt: The Netherlands' Luxury Department Store

De Bijenkorf: Dutch Luxury at Its Finest

De Bijenkorf (the name means "The Beehive") has been the Netherlands' premier department store since 1870, with its Amsterdam flagship on the Dam Square being one of the country's most recognisable retail destinations. The store stocks international luxury and contemporary brands — from Louis Vuitton and Gucci to Acne Studios and A.P.C. — and its order receipts follow Dutch commercial standards, which include specific VAT notation requirements.

What a De Bijenkorf Receipt Looks Like

De Bijenkorf order confirmations from debijenkorf.nl are clean and professional, in Dutch by default with an English option. The De Bijenkorf logo appears at the top. Your order number (Bestelnummer), order date, and customer number appear in the header section. Items are listed with brand name, product name, size, colour, and price in euros. Dutch VAT (BTW) at 21% is broken out clearly in the pricing section — a legal requirement for Dutch commercial receipts. Delivery address and payment method complete the confirmation.

De Bijenkorf and Sinterklaas: Peak Season Documentation

The biggest shopping period in the Netherlands is not Christmas but the Sinterklaas season in late November and early December. De Bijenkorf sees its highest transaction volumes during this period, and gift purchases made during the Sinterklaas sale often need separate receipts for returns or insurance purposes. If you bought gifts and need a receipt separate from the gift packaging, a formatted order confirmation document is the standard solution.
