Article 12 : Delivery Method

The products are delivered to the address indicated by the customer on the order form. The customer is required to check the packaging condition of the parcel on delivery and to report on the delivery note any damage due to the carrier, and also to inform Bladeboardcenter SARL within a week.
The customer, on request, can have an invoice sent to the invoicing address and not to the delivery address by validating the dedicated option on the order form.

Concerning the dispatch, most of the time we work with “Colissimo Suivi de La Poste”. As soon as we dispatch some goods, you receive immediately an e-mail to let you know.

In order to reduce as much as possible the delivery charges, all products of small or medium size are dispatched by the service of La Poste “Colissimo Suivi”. As well as the fact to be low cost, this service delivers in 48 hours everywhere in France and offers the possibility to collect the ordered products at the nearest post office of the delivery address in case of absence when the postman comes. In practical terms, if you are away during the delivery day, your postman will leave you a calling card in your post box, which will let you collect your parcel at your post office during opening hours within a period of 15 days.

Colissimo Suivi is a very reliable service, however it is possible for a delayed delivery to occur or that the parcel gets lost. In case the delivery is late according to the date we indicated in the dispatch e-mail, we ask you to let us know this delay by contacting us by telephone :+ 33 (0)6 03 28 69 25 or by e-mail: client@bladeboardcenter.com
We shall then contact La Poste to start an inquiry. An inquiry at La Poste can last up to 21 days starting from the beginning of the inquiry.

If during this delay the parcel is found, it shall immediately be sent again to your domicile (in most cases). If instead the parcel is not found at the end of the period of 21 days of inquiry, La Poste consider the parcel as lost. It is only at that moment that we can send you a replacement product at our expense.
If the ordered products were not available anymore at that moment, we would refund the sums concerning the products lost by the carrier.
If the products were still available, but their prices changed on the web site, we would apply the new selling price, either by a refund of the difference by cheque or by asking for an additional cheque for the difference between the prices. We disclaim all responsibility concerning the extension of the delay due to the carrier, in particular when losses of parcels or strike occur.

Article 13 : Delivery problems because of the carrier

Any anomaly concerning the delivery,(damage, missing product in comparison to the delivery note, etc.) shall be imperatively indicated on the delivery note in the form of “hand-written reserves”, with the customer signature.
