3.Shipping

1. What happens if my package is held up in customs?

Unfortunately, I don’t manage customs issues directly. The best thing to do is contact customs to check if they’ve sent you any emails, which may have ended up in your spam folder. They will guide you on the next steps for customs clearance.

2. Which carriers do you use for shipping?

It depends on the destination, but in general, I use La Poste or PostNL.

3. Do you offer express shipping options?

Not at the moment. It would be too expensive, and it wouldn’t change the production time, which remains the same.

4. What are the shipping times after production?

For France and Belgium, delivery takes 3 to 7 business days. For international orders, it can take 7 to 21 business days.

5. What are the shipping fees?

Shipping fees are €10 for France and Belgium, and €25 for international shipments.

6. What if I want to change my address after placing an order?

Shipping addresses cannot be modified once the order is confirmed.

7. What if my package is lost or damaged during transit?

I am not responsible for loss or damage during transit. However, if the product is marked as delivered and signed for, then it means the package was not lost. If it’s marked as lost, we will initiate the necessary steps to try to recover the package or refund you.

 

4.Privacy and Data Security

1. How do you ensure the security of my payment information?

My store’s host, Shopify, is very secure. I do not have access to your payment information; I only receive the payments, but I do not have access to the details of your transactions.

You can unsubscribe directly through the links in my promotional emails or by contacting support via Shopify.
