Please provide the following when contacting us:
Items damaged in transit
Take clear photographs of both the damaged item and the outer packaging, then contact us within 48 hours of delivery. We will resolve the situation promptly at no additional cost to you.
If an item leaks or breaks during transit due to carrier mishandling, we will arrange a full replacement once the issue has been documented and confirmed.
Exchange processing time
Once your exchange request is approved, replacement items are dispatched within 2 to 5 business days, subject to stock availability. You will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number once your replacement is on its way.
Worldwide delivery
French Avenue Parfum ships to customers all around the world. Every order is carefully packaged to ensure your fragrance arrives in perfect condition, regardless of your location.
Estimated delivery times
Delivery times vary depending on your country and the shipping carrier. The following are estimated delivery windows:
Shipping costs
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your delivery country and the weight of your order. All applicable fees are displayed clearly before you complete your purchase. There are no hidden charges.
Customs & import duties
For international orders outside the EU, customs duties, import taxes, and fees may apply according to your country's regulations. These charges are the sole responsibility of the customer and are not included in our product pricing or shipping fees.
We recommend checking with your local customs authority before placing an order if you are unsure about applicable import charges. French Avenue Parfum cannot be held liable for any delays caused by customs clearance processes.
Packaging
Every French Avenue order is packed with care to protect your fragrance during transit. Our packaging is designed to reflect the quality of the product inside — from the outer box to the internal padding. If your order arrives visibly damaged, please refer to our Exchanges policy.
