More often, carriers attempt to deliver the parcel 2 or 3 more times at the delivery address and/or indicate the closest depot to the delivery address from which the parcel may be picked up. If the delivery is still impossible, the parcel is returned to the Seller and kept by him for 30 calendar days at the Customer’s disposal. Partial deliveries can be made if, for example (but not only in this case), certain products are unavailable.

The Seller will propose a new delivery time for the products that are unavailable and the Customer will be free to accept this or not. The Seller will bear the additional shipping costs which will not be billed to the Customer.

The risk of loss or damage of products ordered is transferred to the Customer when he/she, or a third party designated by him/her, takes physical possession of the products ordered.

When ordering, the Customer is given an order tracking number. With this number, the Customer can obtain information about the progress of the delivery of the order via the website of the carrier nominated by the Seller, in the section for tracking parcels.

The returned product(s) have to be sent at the latest on the 30th day after which he/she took physical possession of the product(s). The Customer can return products ordered with no reasons given, provided that the products are intact and complete, are not stained or dirty and have not been washed or worn, in the original undamaged packaging. In the case of partial deliveries (several products ordered at the same time by the Customer and delivered separately), the withdrawal period starts from the delivery of the last product ordered. When the product consists of batches or several items, the withdrawal period starts from the delivery of the last batch or last item. The Customer informs the Seller of his/her decision to return the products before the end of the withdrawal period by sending the products back to the Seller along with the withdrawal from attached to the delivery note. The sending of either the withdrawal form or the products before the expiry of the withdrawal period must be provable (for example in the form of a postal receipt). Concerning items on sale or on free promotion, the Customer has a period of 7 days to return the products after the day on which he informed the Seller. The Customer only bears the direct costs generated by the return of the products. The Seller will reimburse the Customer for the full price of the products returned, excluding the delivery costs, using the payment method utilized to place the order as soon as possible and at the latest within 14 days after the date on which the Seller received the Customer’s withdrawal notice and the product(s). The period begins when the Seller receives the notice of withdrawal or the products. In general, for the computation of time, the day of receipt of the notice of withdrawal or the products shall not be counted as part of the period. If the last day of this period falls on a public holiday, a Saturday or a Sunday, the period shall end on the first working day thereafter. However, reimbursement will only be made when the products returned have been received by the Seller. The Customer is responsible for the return of the products until they are received by the Seller. Therefore, the Customer is strongly advised to return the products by a means allowing him/her to track his/her parcel.
