How important are relay points (points relais) in France?
▼
Very important. 40% of French online shoppers prefer collecting from a relay point over home delivery. It's cheaper for you and preferred by consumers. We integrate with Mondial Relay, Relais Colis, and Chronopost Pickup — over 45,000 pickup locations across France.
What is the AGEC law and does it affect my business?
▼
The AGEC (Anti-Gaspillage pour une Économie Circulaire) law requires Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) registration for packaging, textiles, electronics, and more. If you sell physical products in France, you need to register with Citeo (for packaging) and display the Triman logo. We help you navigate the registration process and stay compliant.
Can you deliver to overseas French territories (DOM-TOM)?
▼
Yes, via Colissimo International. Delivery to Guadeloupe, Martinique, Réunion, and other DOM-TOM typically takes 5–10 business days. Note that DOM-TOM have different VAT rules (octroi de mer) — we handle the compliance documentation.
Do French consumers expect free returns?
▼
Free returns are very common in French e-commerce — most major retailers and marketplaces offer them. French law guarantees a 14-day droit de rétractation (withdrawal right). We provide pre-paid return labels and process returns at our Paris-region hub within 24–48 hours of arrival.
