Controls to prevent fraud
In order to prevent the fraudulent uses of payment methods, Customer accounts, delivery addresses, and in order to secure even more the transactions of the Customers, Rêves de libellule carries out controls on the orders placed by its Customers.
As part of these checks, the Customer may be asked to send us administrative documents such as: proof of identity and/or proof of address (fixed telephone bill, electricity, gas, water, etc.), and for companies: KBIS extract less than 3 months old.
Within the framework of these checks, if the supporting documents were not sent to us or if the documents sent did not enable us to establish with certainty the identity of the author of the order and the reality of the domiciliation, we could not validate the order and it would then be cancelled.
Refunds corresponding to these orders could not then be made without a certain number of verifications necessary to identify the Payer of the order. Thus, a payment by credit card will be refunded only and directly to the customer's credit card account, a refund by cheque will only be sent to the address indicated on the cheque book if a proof of new address is not provided.

Product Availability
Rêves de libellule works, depending on the products, based on a just-in-time stock or direct order from its suppliers. Therefore, according to the cases, the Products are available within the limit of the stocks available at Rêves de libellule or subject to the stocks available at its suppliers.
The Products available in Rêves de libellule's stocks for a fast delivery are accompanied by the mention "Shipped within 24-48H" or "Expected shipment on Day/Month". The availability of a Product can vary very quickly depending on sales. Rêves de libellule updates availability very frequently but cannot be held responsible if the stock is no longer the same as the one indicated. More specific information can be given to the Customer by telephone, e-mail or fax.
The unavailable Products in Rêves de libellule's stocks and supplied by its suppliers can appear with the mention of a frame of the expedition delay such as "within 1 week", "within 10 days", "within 15 days", "within 20 days", "between 2 and 6 weeks", etc... This expedition delay then corresponds to the delay which is necessary for Rêves de libellule to be delivered by the supplier and to send the parcel to the Customer.
When a Product is mentioned "Product not available", it cannot be put in the shopping cart or sold. It will only be available for sale again when the supplier has informed us of its availability in its stocks or when Rêves de libellule has its own stocks. However, it is possible to be notified of the date of new availability of the products by sending a message from the product data sheet of the unavailable Product.
When the Product is not in stock at Rêves de libellule and that the announced delay is thus of the type "under 10 days", Rêves de libellule will inform the Customer of any possible delay of delivery by e-mail. This delay being a guarantee of Rêves de libellule, the Customer will be entitled to ask for the cancellation of his order and to ask for its refund. The refund will be made as soon as possible and at the latest in accordance with the regulations within 14 days.
If Rêves de libellule cannot obtain a Product ordered from its suppliers, it will notify the customer of the expected delay by e-mail. The latter will then be able to choose to cancel his order, based on this new information. In accordance with the regulations, no cancellation penalty will be applied for such an order cancellation. In the case of a cancellation, the refund will be made as soon as possible and at the latest in accordance with the regulations within 14 days.
No compensation for cancellation (other than full reimbursement of the Order) may also be requested, such unavailability resulting from the delay in updating this unavailability.
Rêves de libellule is committed to honouring the orders received only within the limit of the available stocks of the Products or within the limit of the stocks available at its suppliers. In the absence of availability of the Product(s), Rêves de libellule undertakes to inform the Customer as soon as possible. However, since availability is updated frequently, such unavailability could only be due to a computer error.
In the case of an unavailability, Rêves de libellule will be able to propose to the Customer a Product of an equivalent quality or price. The formal agreement of the Customer will then be requested by Rêves de libellule before any expedition.
Confirmation of order
Any validation of order entails an obligation of payment.
An e-mail is automatically sent to the Customer in order to confirm the order, provided that the e-mail address indicated in the registration form does not contain any errors.
Rêves de libellule does not send an order confirmation by mail or fax.
5. Order cancellation
The Law guarantees the Customer the possibility to retract within 14 working days after receipt. In order to best inform the Customer of his right of retraction, Rêves de libellule, will communicate a retraction form to him at the latest at the time of the confirmation of the order.
Right of withdrawal within the meaning of Article L121-20-1 of the Consumer Code: This right of withdrawal is exercised when the Customer has received his order and wishes not to keep one, several or all of the Products in his Order within 14 days of delivery.
5.1 Common rules on the right of withdrawal and cancellation of orders
Scope and conditions of application of the conditions of cancellation and/or retraction
Certain Products and Services may not be subject to the right of withdrawal in accordance with Article L 121-20-2 of the French Consumer Code, limiting conditions which are extended to the possibility of cancelling an Order.
In particular:
- provision of services whose performance has begun with the consumer's agreement before the end of the fourteen clear days period - supply of Products made to specifications or clearly personalised, or which, due to their nature, cannot be returned or are likely to deteriorate or expire rapidly (case of non-standard products as defined above)
- Unsealed software, audio and video recordings
- Newspapers, periodicals or magazines
In addition to these conditions, the additional services that would have been carried out at the date of cancellation such as installation, taking back of the old one, assembly cannot be the object of cancellation or retraction. The old products that would have been taken back within the framework of these services cannot also be returned, being the subject of a return by specialized channels.
Mattresses and box springs outside standard sizes do not benefit from the "exchange or refund" guarantee (The Consumer Code -article L 121-20-2- specifies that the legal withdrawal period of 14 days does not apply to customised goods or to customer specifications. This is the case for mattresses and bed bases with non-standard dimensions or with a specific thickness or shape).
Exchange conditions and refunds
The right or possibility of exchange or refund only applies if the Product is returned in perfect condition for resale, packaged (or repackaged) in its original packaging, complete and without any trace of shock, malfunction or obvious traces of use (e.g. assembled furniture). Rêves de libellule reserves the right to refuse this exchange or refund if the Products received in return do not respect these conditions. Special orders for furniture (modular rooms, custom-made or with special manufacture made to estimate) cannot be cancelled after a period of 7 days from the day of the order. Furniture cannot be taken back after receipt.
Case of exchange
The exchange request must be made within 14 days from the date of receipt of the Product concerned. If the new Product reference requested in exchange is for a higher amount, the Customer must pay the difference before shipment of the new Product. Conversely, if the amount is less than the initial amount, the Customer's account on www. Rêves de libellule.com will be credited with this difference. The shipment of the new Product can only be made after the return of the exchanged Product. If the shipping costs related to the replacement Product were higher than the initial shipping costs of the Sales Order, Rêves de libellule may ask the client to pay a complementary participation to the shipping costs.
Conditions of return
Any return without exception must be preceded in writing (e-mail or fax) and automatically obtain a return number from the after-sales service of Rêves de libellule. This is not a request for authorization, but rather a guarantee necessary to ensure a return in full traceability and security for the Customer. Rêves de libellule will then indicate to the Customer the procedure to follow.
Rêves de libellule reserves the right to refuse the reception of a return on its warehouses which would not have been notified to him or which would not follow the preliminary instructions. A return not respecting this procedure and for which the package(s) would have been lost during transport could not be considered by Rêves de libellule. No compensation or reimbursement can then be demanded by the Customer who has not followed the instructions of the customer service department in the context of an order cancellation and/or retraction.
5.2 Specific rules of application for the possibility of cancelling an order (excluding the right of withdrawal)
Cancellation of an order before dispatch or before receipt by the Customer
Before shipping by Rêves de libellule or before reception by the Customer, Rêves de libellule offers to its Customers the possibility to cancel their orders at any time. This possibility extends the legal conditions of withdrawal provided for by law after receipt by the Customer.
There are several cases:
- The order has not been dispatched: the cancellation is then immediately considered by Rêves de libellule without any further procedure.
- The order has already been fully or partially shipped. Rêves de libellule considers the cancellation on unshipped Products. For shipped Products, the Customer may refuse the package already shipped when it is presented. The cancellation will be considered when the Products are returned to our warehouses.
In these two cases:
The Customer must contact the customer service of Rêves de libellule in order to signify this cancellation. Written confirmation will be requested from the Client, either by e-mail or fax, in order to avoid any cancellation by someone other than the Client.
This possibility of cancellation after expedition entailing expenses for Rêves de libellule, Rêves de libellule then reserves the right to invoice the Customer for its management and cancellation fees.
The Customer is responsible for the shipping costs. In the case of a partial cancellation, no reimbursement of the shipping costs can be claimed, this contribution being a fixed amount for the entire Order.
If the Order is cancelled in its entirety and no package has been shipped, the Customer will be fully reimbursed for the shipping costs. Reimbursement shall be made within 14 days of the exercise of the right of cancellation if the order has not been shipped, and within 14 days of the return of the package to our warehouses if the order has been shipped.
5.3 Specific rules of application for the statutory right of withdrawal
Withdrawal between the date of receipt of the order and the legal 14 days is defined by law. This retraction may be made without justification on all or part of the Customer's Order subject to the conditions defined in paragraph 5.1.
In this case:
The Customer must contact the customer service of Rêves de libellule in order to signify this cancellation before any reshipment of Product, by indicating the Product or Products concerned. Written confirmation will be requested from the Client, either by e-mail or fax, in order to avoid any cancellation by someone other than the Client. This prior contact is intended to inform the Customer of the return procedure as well as the documents to be attached to the return package to allow traceability and thus ensure a good return.
The costs of return are at the expense of the Customer.
In the case of a partial cancellation, no reimbursement of the shipping costs can be claimed, this contribution being a fixed amount for the entire Order.
For the bulky Products, by contacting customer service, Rêves de libellule will be able to organize this return on appointment fixed with the carrier designated by Rêves de libellule. The costs incurred by such a return are normally borne by the Customer. However, Rêves de libellule will be able to ask to the Customer only a participation to these return costs, particularly in the cases of exchanges. These conditions will have to be discussed with the customer service of Rêves de libellule.
Reimbursement shall be made within 14 days following the exercise of the right of withdrawal, the reshipment of the packages having been able to take place beforehand. However, given the technical nature of certain products sold, this period may be extended to 45 days, especially when the product needs technical verification by the Rêves de libellule after-sales service (these products must be tested beforehand). Withdrawal form available in the appendix and downloadable in the "My Account" section.
6. The payment
Payment methods
When a Customer is a private individual, he can pay for his order:
- On line on Rêves de libellule's website by credit card (credit card, Visa, Eurocard, Mastercard);
- By bank transfer (the necessary data for the transfer are provided on the site www.revesdelibellule.com at the time of choosing the method of payment or may be provided to the customer for other modes of order,
- By cheque issued by a bank domiciled in metropolitan France. Any order paid by cheque will only be processed upon receipt of the means of payment,
- By PayPal
The Customer guarantees the company Rêves de libellule that he has the possible authorizations necessary to use the method of payment chosen by him. The company Rêves de libellule reserves the right to suspend any management of order and any delivery in case of refusal of authorization of payment by credit card on behalf of the officially accredited organizations or in case of non-payment.
The company Rêves de libellule reserves in particular the right to refuse to carry out a delivery or to honour an order emanating from a consumer who would not have regulated completely or only partially a preceding order or with whom a dispute of payment would be in the course of administration. The company Rêves de libellule has set up a procedure for checking orders to ensure that no one uses another person's bank details without their knowledge. However, the consumer remains advised that Rêves de libellule could not be held responsible for any misappropriation or fraudulent use of any means of payment that would not have been detected by the verification procedure. Within the framework of this checking, it could be asked to the customer to send by fax or e-mail to the company Rêves de libellule a copy of an identity paper as well as a proof of residence. The order will be validated only after reception and verification by our services of the parts sent. If these documents are not received within 14 days of the order being placed, the order shall be deemed to be cancelled by operation of law. Rêves de libellule preserves the full and whole property of the sold products until perfect collection of all the sums due by the consumer within the framework of his order, expenses and taxes included/understood.
The company Rêves de libellule offers a solution of payment in three instalment, free of charge, by credit card only. This offer is available from €200 purchase (delivery costs included). It is also free, immediate and interest-free. The methods of payment are: a 1st direct debit (at the time of your order) of 45% of the goods ordered + postage, a 2nd direct debit (on the day of the order + 30 days) of 50% of the balance due and a 3rd direct debit (on the day of the order + 60 days) of the balance due (i.e. 50% of the balance due).
Invoice The order form that the Customer establishes online or the order confirmation sent by e-mail to the Customer by Rêves de libellule does not act as an invoice. Whatever the order methods and payment adopted; the Customer has the original invoice in his online account tracking. Rêves de libellule keeps an electronic copy of each invoice. In the case of a delivery to an address different from the billing address, the invoice is in any case only available in the online order tracking of the Customer's account and is therefore not attached to the packages.
Date of payment In the case of a one-time payment by credit card, the Customer's account will be debited for the amount of his purchases at the time of validation of his payment. In the case of payment by credit card in 3 instalments, the card is debited (1st due date) when the order is taken, when the other two debits are made 1 month and then 2 months before the order date. In the case of payment by cheque, the collection is done upon receipt of the cheque, thus notifying the validity of the Customer's order.
Late payments: In case of refusal by the bank of a debit card or refusal to cash a check or other means of payment, it is up to the customer to contact customer service to pay for his order by any means of payment. Transfer of ownership Rêves de libellule remains the owner of the delivered Products until their complete payment by the Customer.
The above provisions do not prevent, upon delivery of the Products, the transfer to the Customer of the risks of loss or deterioration of the Products subject to retention of title as well as any damage they may cause.
7. The delivery
Shipping times
Orders placed online via www.revesdelibellule.com are collected every morning from Monday to Friday. Rêves de libellule processes during the day all the orders recorded the day before up to the time of the statement.
The preparation of an order may in principle take up to two working days, including in particular the processing of the order, the preparation of the Products, packaging and invoicing before the dispatch of the available Products, this period taking effect on the Order Date defined in "paragraph 4 - Order Date".
As a reminder, the "Date of Order" is deemed (see paragraph 4) to be the "Date of Order":
- The validation of the Order by the Customer and his payment by credit card online, in the case of payment by credit card, - From the date of receipt of the cheque, transfer or credit acceptance in the case of payment by cheque, transfer or credit respectively. Rêves de libellule informs its Customers that these deadlines do not include Sundays and public holidays. The time limits mentioned in the above examples do not consider the possible fraud avoidance controls mentioned in "Paragraph 4
- Fraud avoidance controls". Shipping times always take effect on the aforementioned Order Date. They are given as an indication and do not represent in any case a commitment on behalf of Rêves de libellule. In case of partial unavailability of the Products, Rêves de libellule could be led to split the shipments. Thus, the available Products can be shipped initially, with the balance of the order being shipped when the other Products are available, without generating additional costs for the Customer.
An e-mail is automatically sent to the Customer when the Products are dispatched, provided that the e-mail address indicated in the registration form does not contain an error.
Shipment periods
Shipment periods depend on the carrier chosen by the Customer. Rêves de libellule informs the Customers of the delays announced by the chosen carrier.This indicative information takes place when the Customer chooses the transport method or carrier at the end of the online ordering process, before validation of the order. However, Rêves de libellule informs its Customers that the announced deadlines do not include Sundays and holidays.
Delivery period
The times displayed on the Product files are shipping times (refer to the paragraph "Product availability").
Shipment periods are indicated in each article file and depend on the transport method chosen by the Customer.
Delivery periods can be as follows:
- If the Products are available, the delivery period is equal to the shipment period (shipment period section) plus the transport period (shipment period section);
- If the Products are not available, the announced shipment period contains the time required to supply the Product to the supplier, and the delivery period is therefore always equal to the shipping time plus the shipment period.
If it turns out that the shipping deadline cannot be kept, a new deadline will then be communicated to the Customer, according to the data known by Rêves de libellule. In this case, a cancellation proposal will also be made to the Customer.
If, on the other hand, payment had already been recorded for certain payment methods, a proposal for a full refund will also be sent to the Customer with the cancellation proposal.
Packaging
The Products are packaged in such a way as to comply with the transport standards in force, and to ensure optimal protection of the Products during their delivery. The Customer is asked to respect these same standards when returning a product, whether it is during an after-sales service or when returning it for convenience. Any damage noted on a product on return due to a problem of packaging level not respected may result in a partial refund or non-refund of the product in case of impossibility of resale as it is or in case of aggravation of the technical problem indicated.
Order’s follow-up
The Customer can at any time consult the state of his order on the Site of Rêves de libellule by consulting his account. This tracking allows the Customer to know the processing status of his order, but also the status of shipping or delivery of his packages. This last delivery follow-up is carried out in interface with the Internet means of carriers’ follow-up. Rêves de libellule could not be held responsible for the unavailability, or errors that could affect the information provided by its carriers. Nevertheless, Rêves de libellule strives to make this information as clear as possible and to make transport as reliable as possible. The Customer can at any time contact the customer service of Rêves de libellule in order to be informed of his order’s follow-up.

Abroad for heavy and/or bulky deliveries
Information valid for Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Great Britain, Italy, Switzerland, Spain
As soon as your order leaves our logistics platform you will be informed by e-mail. The carriers will contact you within 7 working days to arrange an appointment for your delivery.
Deliveries are made from Monday to Friday in a half-day time slot. The shipping costs are calculated according to the total weight of your order, its volume and your place of delivery (it is therefore necessary to fill in completely and without error the mandatory fields of the delivery address).
The carriers are not be expected to deliver inside your home and are entitled to leave your parcel at the entrance of the building or at the door of your house. We therefore advise you, as far as possible, to plan a relative’s help on the day of delivery, in case the driver cannot take the time to help you get your parcel inside the home.
You are asked to sign the delivery note; if upon receipt of the package you find that it is defective, refuse it or write the usual reservations on the delivery note indicating that the package is damaged (subject to unpacking). We invite you to open the package in order to see the products status inside in the presence of the carrier. Immediately notify our Customer Service Department serviceclients@revesdelibellule.com.
For shipments outside the European Union, taxes are the responsibility of the recipient and will be requested at the time of delivery.
The invoice accompanies the package and a duplicate is sent to the customer at the billing address. Customs fees are paid at the time of order. For any delivery abroad outside the countries listed above, please contact us at the following address:serviceclients@revesdelibellule.com.
Returns & reservations admissibility
Before returning your product, for any reason, please contact our Customer Service by e-mail at the following address: serviceclients@revesdelibellule.com.
For bulky furniture
If it is established that the reason for the return is due to an error on our part, on the part of the carrier or the manufacturer, we will be able to recover the furniture in question at our expense.
Contact us on 09 70 24 11 27 or at: serviceclients@revesdelibellule.com. When you buy your furniture, you must make sure that it can be delivered by elevator or interior staircase.
Otherwise, the deliveryman will deposit the goods on the ground floor. You must check the access to your home (lane, parking...) so that the delivery does not require the intervention of a light vehicle such as a van.
Otherwise, the delivery person will offer you a second delivery or a delivery to a nearby and more easily accessible location.
If a second delivery should take place, you will be charged for it. Please inform us of any specific access problem (narrow street, access on the floor, pedestrian street...) when you order. As soon as we receive and validate your return, we will refund the payment to the issuing credit card within a maximum of 15 days. If you have a deferred debit card, the refund will take place at the end of the current month. In the event that the refund takes longer, we advise you to contact your bank.
If the reason for the return is not due to an error on our part, please go to article 14 of our general terms and conditions of sale: right of withdrawal.
I/ RESERVES
To allow the carrier's liability to be invoked, the recipient must, at the time of delivery, make written reservations on the transport document (consignment note, delivery note, electronic medium or, failing this, any other document).
Such reservations must be reasoned, significant and complete, i.e. clearly show the extent and importance of the damage. They must be precise as to the nature of the damage and the quantity of material involved.
Reservations must be the equivalent of a photograph of the goods. Any general, unjustified or incomplete reservation shall not give rise to a presumption of liability on the part of the carrier but shall, on the contrary, give rise to a presumption of proper receipt with regard to the consignee.
By application of the general law of evidence, the consignee will then have to prove that the damage already existed at the time of delivery in order to charge it to the carrier. The words "subject to unpacking" or "subject to counting" are devoid of any significance, as are incomplete statements such as "torn packing".
The possibility of expressing reservations implies the right of verification that the recipient has. Under no circumstances may the carrier obstruct the exercise of the consignee's right of verification, which is a substantial element of a regular delivery and which also applies to relay delivery.
If he objects, the consignee shall be entitled to refuse to accept the goods in this way and to request verification by means of a judicial expert opinion, the costs of which shall in any event remain the responsibility of the carrier, even if no damage is ascertained, as shall the consequences of the delay in delivery resulting from the implementation of this measure.
Similarly, the carrier may not make verification conditional either on payment of the carriage charge or on prior issue of the transport document or even on the issue of a certificate stating that the consignment is in good external condition. In the case where such mentions would not have been carried on the delivery note presented to the Customer by the carrier, no complaint relating to the product status or the parcels could be accepted, a posteriori, by Rêves de libellule.
Warning:
Spontaneously or on the initiative of the carrier, it may happen that the consignee may question the shipper, with his reservations, by criticizing, for example, the packaging or the intrinsic quality of the goods.
This type of reservation is to be prohibited because it risks causing the consignee to lose its recourse against the carrier, since it characterizes a fault of the shipper exporting liability, without guaranteeing the shipper's liability, which will be opposed by the unilateral nature of the allegation mentioned by the consignee without his presence.
II/ THE LETTER OF PROTEST AND CONFIRMATION OF RESERVATIONS
Reservations made by the consignee demonstrate the existence of damage to the delivery and trigger the mechanism of presumption of liability of the carrier.
French law still requires the completion of an additional formality: notification to the carrier of a reasoned protest within a very short time limit and under very precise conditions; compliance with this formality is a condition for the admissibility of subsequent action against the carrier for partial loss or damage.
Article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code states:
"The receipt of the transported items shall extinguish any claim against the Haulage Contractor for damage or partial loss if the consignee has not notified the Haulage Contractor of his reasoned protest by extrajudicial act or by registered letter within three days, not including public holidays, following the day of receipt.
If, within the time limit set out above, a request for expert appraisal is made pursuant to Article L. 133-4, such request shall be deemed to be a protest, without it being necessary to proceed as stated in the first paragraph. Any stipulations to the contrary are null and void. The latter provision is not applicable to international carriage.”
The dispute must be formulated by the recipient.
The effectiveness of this protest is subject to 2 conditions:
(1) Form and time limit
The protest must be notified to the carrier by extrajudicial act or by registered letter within 3 days, not including public holidays following delivery. The period of 3 days therefore starts from the day after delivery, but the protest sent on the same day is valid.
The requirements of article L. 133-3 of the French Commercial Code are met as soon as the registered letter is posted within the legal deadline of 3 days, regardless of whether it reaches the carrier after this deadline or whether he refuses to receive it.
Where the carriage of a consignment of goods is the subject of a single contract, while split in its performance, the starting point of the three-day period shall be the day of the last delivery constituting the balance of the consignment which is the subject of the carriage’s agreement. Saturdays count for the calculation of the time limit, from which only Sundays and public holidays are excluded.
The provision of Article 642 of the Code of Civil Procedure under the terms of which "the period that would normally expire on a Saturday... is extended until the first working day thereafter" is inapplicable to the three-day period of Article L. 133-3 of the Commercial Code, which is not a procedural period but a pre-determined period prescribed on pain of forfeiture.
2) Motivation
The protest must be reasoned, i.e. contain, with all relevant details, the recipient's statement of grievances. This reasoning should not be vague or general and at least likely to shed light on the type and extent of the damage or loss discovered (enumeration of damage to the equipment being transported, etc.).
If a reasoned protest is not sent within the required time limit, action against the carrier is no longer possible.
As an exception, case law refuses the foreclosure of the action against the carrier in the presence of the acceptance by the carrier of the reservations formulated by the consignee at the time of delivery.
The fact that the driver does not contest or contradict the reservations affixed in his presence constitutes an unequivocal acceptance of these reservations and therefore exempts the driver from compliance with the formality of Article L 133-3 of the French Commercial Code.
In other words, the consignee is therefore no longer precluded from sending a registered letter within three days of having formulated "good reservations" on delivery in the presence of the driver if the latter has not refused them or has not taken reservations to the contrary.
WARNING: when you sign the carrier's delivery note, you acknowledge that you have received the goods in good condition. You therefore release the carrier from all liability. Any damage subsequently identified may be considered to have been caused by you.
Moreover, the reservations on the carrier's delivery note are not sufficient: they must be confirmed by registered letter within 3 days.
A check on delivery
When a package is delivered, it is imperative to ask to check the package, both the exterior and the contents in order to notify reservations if the product ordered is missing, incomplete or damaged.
Please note that the general reserve statements such as "subject to unpacking" have no legal value.
It will therefore be necessary to express precise reservations, define the missing products or damage on the delivery note and within 3 days of delivery, confirm your reservations to the carrier by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt while informing the seller in parallel.
Some examples of inoperable/uncharacterised reserves
Open, smashed, crushed, damaged, damaged package, damaged parcel, without describing any consequential damage to the goods.
Shock marks
Pallet broken or fallen off the truck; missing X pieces, not to mention that the packaging is no longer secure.
are the reservations to be indicated on the delivery note?
"Damaged package" and "damaged product".
What if you are denied control of the package?
Very often the delivery man (or the agent) does not accept that you open the parcel before confirming the reception or does not want to wait.
However, it has an obligation to do so, as the courts, and more particularly the Court of Cassation, have pointed out on several occasions, notably in two judgments:
Thus "the consignee has the right to demand, before taking delivery, both internal and external verification of the packages" (cass civ 22/11/1933). If the Carrier has denied the Consignee this right, thus preventing him from checking the goods, the Haulage Contractor cannot invoke the absence of reservation and confirmation by LRAR (cass 27/04/1921).
From then on, it is imperative to indicate that you have been refused the possibility of checking the contents of the parcel on the receipt form that you will sign and inform the carrier of any damage found after checking the parcel by registered letter.
Access of force majeure
If our carrier is led to use a tray or any other access of force majeure during the home delivery, Rêves de libellule reserves the right to re-invoice the surplus on the total amount of the transport.
8. Guarantees
Defects on delivery
Carrier-related delivery delays
In the case of a delay in delivery in relation to the deadlines announced by the carriers, the Customer must first contact the carrier or its distribution office in the case of La Poste. In all cases of important delays, the Customer must contact Rêves de libellule in order to open a file of litigation or investigation to carry out a research of the parcel. Sometimes packages are misplaced by the carriers. The deadlines imposed by the carriers imply that the Customer declares the loss within 10 days following the reception of the dispatch notice of Rêves de libellule. Under these conditions, Rêves de libellule takes care of making the necessary claims with the concerned carrier.
In case the parcel was not found, Rêves de libellule would make a new delivery of the same Product (within the time of availability) or would propose the refund to the Customer.
Damaged parcels
The Customer must check the condition of the package in front of the carrier and make the necessary reservations on the delivery slip in case of partial or total deterioration. In the absence of a reservation, the goods are deemed to be accepted by the Customer and may not be the subject of any dispute concerning their delivery. The Customer will have after emission of these reserves to notify the customer service under 48h by e-mail so that Rêves de libellule can take the necessary measures as soon as possible, as well from the point of view of the return of the product in its warehouses as from the point of view of a new delivery. In case of absence of notification, Rêves de libellule cannot be held responsible for a long delay in taking charge of the new delivery. In the case of a shipment made by the Post Office, if the package arrives open or damaged, it is essential that the customer have a "spoliation report" (report 170) drawn up by the deliveryman on whom he depends so that Rêves de libellule can open an investigation and a compensation procedure.
Strikes
In the event of strike of the Post office services, the carriers or any other event of exceptional nature slowing down or preventing the delivery of the parcels, Rêves de libellule will put all the means at work to inform the customer of the state of the expedition of his parcel, but could not be held responsible for the delays caused.
