Shopping Online for Christmas in France

Tuesday 01 December 2009

Ordering Christmas gifts and hampers on-line in France is now de rigueur for most expats, but what are your rights if things go wrong?

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.

We review your rights concerning lost and damaged parcels and the complaints procedure for dealing with such problems.
