How is furniture delivered, and can I choose a delivery time slot?

Furniture is delivered to your home, to the doorstep. If you live in a flat, delivery takes place at the entrance to the building.

Delivery times depend on product availability and the date agreed with you. Delivery costs are quoted based on your address and the furniture item's characteristics.

To request a quote or find out about delivery time slots for furniture or a bulky item, contact our customer service and specify the item concerned. Our team will explain the delivery conditions and how to arrange an appointment.

Before purchasing, check that access allows the furniture to be delivered (door and corridor dimensions, etc.). If delivery is impossible because of access restrictions, you will be responsible for any return costs.

My order

Can my order be sent in several parcels?

Yes, your order may be sent in several parcels, particularly if the items come from different stock locations.

In this case, you will receive several dispatch emails, each relating to one parcel and containing its own tracking number so you can track each shipment separately.

What should I do if my parcel has not arrived, appears to be stuck or lost, or is marked as delivered?

If you have not received your parcel 5 working days after dispatch and no delivery notice has been left, check your Colissimo or UPS tracking link, depending on your chosen delivery method.

If your parcel appears to be stuck or lost, still has not arrived, or is marked as delivered but you have not received it, contact our customer service with your order number and tracking number. Our team will carry out the necessary checks with the carrier and guide you through the next steps.

What happens if my parcel is returned by the carrier?

Parcels are often returned to the sender because of an incorrect delivery address, repeated absences during delivery attempts, or failure to collect a parcel from the post office within the holding period.

Please contact our customer service to find out whether your order can be sent again.

What should I do if there is a problem when my order arrives?

If you notice signs of damage to your parcel on delivery, you can:

• Refuse the parcel, which will then be returned directly to the sender.

What should I do if an item is faulty?

Returns and refunds

How do I return an item?

Please submit your return request through our online returns portal in accordance with our return policy. You can also use the withdrawal form attached to our Terms and Conditions of Sale.

You have 14 days from receipt of your order to request a return.

1. Return conditions and return shipping costs.

Return shipping costs are your responsibility.

For returns from France, Belgium, Germany, Spain, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Portugal and Italy:
Once your request has been confirmed, a prepaid return label is automatically generated. Simply print it and attach it to your parcel.
If you use this label, the corresponding fee will be deducted from your total refund.

For returns from France, the fee is €4.99; for Belgium, Germany, Luxembourg and the Netherlands, the fee is €6.99; and for Spain, Portugal and Italy, the fee is €7.49. These fees may change at any time.

Each return label is linked to a specific order. If you are returning several orders, please send each order in a separate parcel with its corresponding label. Multiple orders cannot be combined in one shipment.

For returns sent from France, you can visit the Chronopost website to find your nearest drop-off point.

If your return is sent from a country other than those listed above, no prepaid label will be generated. You must arrange the return yourself and cover the costs.
We recommend using a tracked shipping service so you can check your parcel's progress and confirm its delivery.

2. Orders delivered in several parcels.

If your order is delivered in several shipments, please wait until you have received the entire order before requesting a return. If you submit a separate return request for each parcel, you may be charged return shipping costs more than once.

3. In-store returns.

Online purchases cannot be returned in store, and store purchases cannot be returned online.

4. Refund of your original delivery costs.

If you return your entire order within the statutory period, your original delivery costs will be refunded up to the amount charged for standard delivery. Any additional costs for express or premium delivery remain your responsibility.

Can I exchange one or more items?

We do not offer exchanges for items purchased on our website. However, you can return your item for a refund and order the item you would like on our website.

What condition must an item be in to be accepted for return?

Items must be returned in perfect condition, unworn, unused and unwashed, with their labels attached. They must include any accessories and their original packaging, in a condition suitable for resale.

Which items cannot be returned?

The furniture must be returned in perfect condition, in its original packaging and carefully protected for shipping.

Return shipping costs are your responsibility.

What are the return and refund conditions for purchases made with a Merci e-gift card?

If an order paid for with an e-gift card is refunded, the corresponding amount will be credited back to the same e-gift card. You can then use it with the code you originally received.

If the order was paid for using several payment methods (for example, an e-gift card and a bank card), the refund will be allocated in proportion to the amounts paid with each method: the portion paid by e-gift card will be credited to that card, and the portion paid by bank card will be refunded to the card used for payment.

If your e-gift card expired between your purchase and the refund, please contact our customer service so we can assist you.

Why have I not received my refund yet, and how long does it take?

Once we receive your return, please allow approximately 14 working days for our team to process it. You will receive an automated email as soon as your refund has been issued.

It may take additional time for the amount to appear in your account, depending on your bank or the payment method used.

If you have not received a refund confirmation after this period, please contact our customer service, with your order number and return tracking number.

I paid in instalments. How does the refund work if I return my order?

As with a standard return, you have 14 days after receiving your order to return some or all of it.

• If I return my entire order:

You will receive a refund of the first instalment only. The remaining instalments will be cancelled and will not be charged.
