Shopping Online for Christmas in France
Tuesday 01 December 2009
With the need to send parcels to family and friends abroad, and with fewer people wanting to drag themselves around the shops to find presents, expats in France are big users of the Internet over the Christmas period.
So we have provided some advice about buying over the Internet in France, and the precautions you need to take when doing so.
We also review the different forms of guarantee available, and what you need to do if things go wrong, or you are not satisfied with the product.
You can read more in Buying Over the Internet in France.
We also consider the postal delivery services that operate in France. There are both public and private parcel delivery services available.
We review your rights concerning lost and damaged parcels and the complaints procedure for dealing with such problems.
