What does the insurance pay out in case of damage or repairs?
If the damage can be repaired, the insurance will cover the repair costs. You'll only have to pay the deductible.
If your product can't be repaired or if the costs are too high compared to the replacement product, you'll receive the current price of the same or similar replacement product in Coolblue Credit, minus the deductible. You can choose a new product yourself after that. Please contact our customer service to order the product. Only our customer service can apply the shop credit for you.
Note: with the ERGO large household appliance insurance, you receive the original price that you bought the appliance for in CoolblueCredit if your product can't be repaired or if the costs are too high. There's no deductible.

What does replacement value mean?
The amount you receive in shop credit is equal to the price of your insured product at the time you're reporting the claim - minus the deductible. That means you could buy the same product you bought again with additional payment for your deductible. If we don't sell your product anymore, we'll choose a comparable product and use that price to decide the height of your CoolblueCredit.

What should I do if my insured product was stolen?
- File a police report within 24 hours.
- If it's a smartphone, call your provider to block your SIM card.
- Let us know about the theft by sending an email to diefstal@coolblue.be with:
- your police report (make sure that you put the serial number or IMEI number of your stolen product in your police report. You can find this number on your policy document);
- your policy number;
- the order number of your product. You can find this in Orders in your My Coolblue account or in your order confirmation.
After your report, you'll receive shop credit via email, worth the replacement value of your product minus your deductible. This means you can pick out a new product right away. Note: the insurance of your old product expires. So you'll have to get a new insurance for your new product.

What happens after I report damage to my insured product?
When we've received your product, we'll send it to a technician to see how much it'll cost to repair the product. After that, we'll contact our insurance company. You don't have to do this yourself. There are multiple possible outcomes:
- Your product gets repaired. You'll get your product back after the repair.
- Your product can't be repaired. You'll receive shop credit you can use to choose a new product from the website.
- The damage to your product isn't covered by the insurance and we'll contact you about whether you still want us to repair the product, but the costs will be on you.
