Delivery

What are our delivery rates?
First, it's important to know that our products are extremely delicate, high-quality, and weigh over 30 kg. Therefore, we are obliged to use specialist transport companies, similar to moving companies, so it's impossible for us to handle the delivery ourselves.
You should also know that with us, the price you pay for delivery is not the actual price; we cover part of the costs, almost 50%.
Indeed, delivery costs for bulky items are excessively high in France, as throughout Europe. That's why we've opted for quality and a service to match. However, for delivery, it's mandatory to schedule an appointment and be present to personally inspect the product.
The driver is responsible for ensuring delivery in good condition. In case of any problems, please refer to the article on delivery .
We offer free delivery when a certain amount is reached, depending on the season. To view our prices .

What are the delivery times?
Everything is indicated on our site, each product has a known shipping date before placing an order, it is indicated under the product sheet.
Delivery dates are scheduled by appointment. If you combine items in your cart with multiple products having different shipping dates, the order will be shipped on the date the last item arrives at our warehouse.
If you would like your order delivered sooner, you can split your order into two separate deliveries: one for in-stock items and a second for items not currently available. Delivery times are clearly stated and are always respected.
In case of delay, customer service will contact you to inform you; otherwise, please wait or cancel the order.

How are we contacted during delivery?
When your order is shipped, you will receive a message notifying you that it has been dispatched.
Within 24-48 hours, the carrier will contact you to schedule a delivery appointment or will send an email to arrange the appointment themselves. We work with several carriers depending on the region and the type of product.
Therefore, you will find the carrier's name when finalizing your order. However, after receiving the shipping confirmation email, you will not receive any further emails. Please double-check that your information is correct.

What are the different delivery methods?
Here are the different delivery methods for your orders:
- Small parcels are sent via smaller carriers and are delivered within 24-48 hours.
- For large packages, we have no choice but to use specialized carriers. Delivery takes between 3 and 6 days.
It is possible to use an express network upon request, however this is strongly discouraged as our parcels are too fragile and the express service does not take care of them.

I received my order which was incorrect/defective, what should I do?
- Incorrect order
If you find that the delivered product is not the one you ordered, you must refuse only the product you did not order if your basket contains multiple items. If the carrier refuses, you must refuse the entire order, writing "NOT compliant" on the delivery receipt. - Defective order:
- If the product is damaged, you must write “NOT compliant”, “broken” in the signed receipt; no other mention is accepted.
- If the product is defective, you must isolate the reference of the product with the problem while refusing it and indicating in the signature “defective”, and accept the rest of the merchandise.
It is essential to strictly adhere to the signed delivery slips. If this is done, we will immediately activate the insurance and send a replacement product within 24 hours. Only the condition "refused due to breakage," specifying the product type and nature of the damage, is accepted; the condition "packaging intact" or "subject to unpacking" is not valid.
Please follow the applicable rules (ask Laurie for the rules). The carrier is a representative of Tots; they are not only responsible for delivering the products, but also for verifying that the products match the order confirmation. No claims will be accepted without a signed receipt.

How to properly sign your delivery note in case of a problem?
It is imperative to note the terms “refused”, “broken”, “defective” or “non-compliant” in the signature; no sentences should be written, only words! Carriers do not require any justification.
WARNING: Some carriers require you to write "packaging intact," but this is completely invalid and will only be used to facilitate unloading. Even if the packaging is intact, it's possible it may have been damaged during transport, potentially breaking the contents.
The carrier's sole purpose is to verify the conformity of the goods from both an aesthetic and qualitative point of view.
