Shipping policy
11. SHIPPING
11.1 Delivery times. Products ordered will be delivered by an independent carrier within the timeframes below from acceptance of the order at the address indicated by the Customer:
- UPS Ground (Residential): 3 to 5 business days
- UPS 3 Day Select: 2 to 3 business days
- UPS 2nd Day Air: 1 to 2 business days
The seller undertakes to make its best efforts to deliver products within the above timeframes. However, these deadlines are only communicated as an indication. If products ordered have not been delivered within seven (7) days after the indicative delivery date, for any other cause than force majeure or the fact of the Customer, the sale may be resolved at the written request of the Customer sent by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.
11.2 Delivery costs. Delivery costs are calculated automatically at checkout based on the shipping method selected, the total weight of the order, and the delivery zone. Exact shipping costs are displayed at checkout prior to payment confirmation.
11.3 Reception and inspection. The Customer is required to check the condition of the packaging of the products upon delivery. The Customer must issue any reserves or complaints deemed necessary, or refuse the package, especially where the package is visibly damaged, before opening it. Any reservations or complaints must also be indicated to the delivery carrier and addressed to the carrier by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt within three (3) business days from the date of delivery. Failure to complain within this deadline extinguishes any action against the carrier.
Furthermore, the Customer is required to check the condition of the products ordered once opened. The Customer has a period of seventy-two (72) hours from delivery to raise any reservations or complaints for non-compliance or apparent defects (damage, broken item, missing article, etc.), with supporting proof. This complaint must be made by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt to French Bloom SAS, 32 rue Washington, 75008 Paris. After this period, and failing to have respected these formalities, the products will be deemed to be in accordance with the order and no complaint can be validly accepted by the seller.
The seller will reimburse the Customer as soon as possible for the price of products delivered whose non-compliance has been duly proven.
