Regarding shipping, we mainly work with Colissimo for deliveries in Metropolitan France; for accessories, we use Lettre Max. When we proceed a shipment, you will immediately receive a notification by email. Besides being economical, these LaPoste services deliver in 48 working hours across France and offer the possibility of collecting the goods ordered at your local post office closest to the delivery address in case you have missed the postman. Specifically, if you are absent the day of delivery, your postman will leave a notice in your mailbox, allowing you to collect your parcel at your post office during working hours, within 15 days.
Colissimo is a very reliable service. However, as with any expedition, there may be a delay in the delivery or the product could get lost. In case delivery date we gave you in the email is not respected, we ask you to report the delay by calling us by phone or by sending us an email. We will then contact La Poste to start an investigation. A La Poste investigation may take up to 21 days from the date of commencement. If, during this period, the product is found, it will immediately re-route to your home (most cases). But if the product is not found at the end of the 21 days of investigation, La Poste considers the package as lost. In case the delay in the delivery exceeds 7 days, the client is entitled to claim an order refund. We will send your money back within 14 days after receipt of your decision.
For deliveries out of Metropolitan France, we work essentially with UPS.
