In case of absence, the delivery person will leave the package in the Customer's letterbox or leave an advice of passage note so that the Customer can pick it up in the following days at a post office or pick-up point, with an ID. Once the package has been deposited, the Customer will be notified by email or text message. It will be available for up to 10 days.

After this period, the package will be returned to L'Impertinente. Customer Service will then contact the Customer for a possible re-delivery, the costs of which are borne by the Customer, or if there is no respnse from the Customer the order will be refunded.

When a package leaves L'Impertinente's warehouses to be forwarded to the address indicated by the Customer when ordering, the latter will receive an electronic message from the Site confirming despatch and indicating the tracking number of their package.

The Customer can follow the progress of their order in their secure personal space "My account", accessible on the Site, or by using their parcel tracking number on the Internet sites made available by La Poste, Colissimo and Chronopost:

Delivery is deemed to have been made as soon as the Product is made available to the Customer by the carrier, as evidenced by the delivery tracking on the websites of the carriers mentioned above.

If 7 working days after the shipment of the package, the Customer has no news of their order, they should contact the post office closest to the place of delivery.

If neither the post office nor the delivery tracking system offered on the websites of our carriers mentioned above claim to have trace of this package, the Customer must then contact L'Impertinente through Customer Service, who will open an investigation with the appropriate services.

The deadlines for a final response from our carriers vary from one to three weeks from the time the file is taken into account by L'Impertinente's services.

The Customer may, at this stage, cancel their order via Customer Service due to the delay suffered and request a refund. The package, if found, will be sent to L'Impertinente.

Conversely, if the Customer wishes to continue their order and receive their product despite the delay:

  • If the package is found, it will be sent to the customer: the delivery procedure will follow its form usual (deposit of the package or a delivery notice, etc.).
  • If the package is declared lost (the definitive answer is most commonly given after three weeks), L'Impertinente will inform the customer of this fact and immediately reimburse them for the package (product and shipping & handling charges).

The following are considered as force majeure releasing L'Impertinente from its obligation to deliver: war, riot, fire, flood, strikes, accidents, the impossibility of being supplied.

In any case, the delivery of our Products on time can only take place if the Customer is up to date with their obligations.

It is the Customer's responsibility to check the shipments on arrival and to make any reservations and complaints that appear justified, or even to refuse the package, if it is likely to have been opened or if it bears clear traces of damage.

Said reservations and complaints must be sent to La Poste by registered letter with acknowledgment of receipt.
