  • The product delivered does not meet the customers’ expectations;
  • If the Customer notes that the package is not sealed or is damaged at the time of delivery;
  • If there is a mismatch between the product ordered and the delivered one.

For the conditions mentioned above, the Customer must not accept the delivery.

The request for exchange or refund, accepted by Porte-Bonheur, will entitle the only reimbursement of the amounts paid. Products opened, damaged or soiled by the Customer will not be refunded or exchanged.

After reception of the goods and verification of their condition, Porte-Bonheur undertakes to reimburse the Customer within seven (7) calendar days (from Monday to Sunday inclusive) following the date of receipt of the return package.
