What are the impacts of the suspension of links between France and the United Kingdom for 48 hours on my order(s)?
 

Due to the new traffic restrictions between the UK and France announced on Monday 21st December, deliveries of our parcels to this destination will be severely disrupted or even impossible. Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee delivery before Christmas for orders currently in progress. We will do our best to deliver as soon as traffic between France and the UK resumes.

Is Smallable’s customer service team still available?
 

Since the beginning of the lockdown in France, our customer service team have been forced to work remotely, which brings with it a number of difficulties. In order to guarantee the best possible customer service, we invite you to contact us via our online contact form. The response time may be a little longer than usual, however please know that our customer service personnel remain fully operational and dedicated to responding to your enquiries as soon as possible from Monday to Friday 9:30 am – 6:30 pm (GMT+1). Thank you for your patience and understanding.


Is it possible to change my delivery address after finalising my order? I am no longer in the city where I was supposed to be.
 

Unfortunately, we are unable to change a delivery address once an order has been placed. If you are unable to collect your package at the time of delivery, it will be automatically returned to our logistics platform and we will offer you a full refund.


I would like to return an item from my order. How can I do so? How long do I have to return or exchange a product once I've received it?
 

You have 14 days after receipt of your order to request a return in the "My Returns" section of your customer area. For specific cases, our customer service is here to help you. Do not hesitate to contact us via the "Contact our customer service" section.


ARE THERE ANY HEALTH RISKS IN RECEIVING PACKAGES FROM FRANCE WHERE CASES OF COVID-19 (CORONAVIRUS) HAVE BEEN DECLARED? WHAT HEALTH PRECAUTIONS HAVE BEEN TAKEN TO ASSURE THAT MY ORDER IS DELIVERED SAFELY?
 

Our logistics platform has put in place all the necessary measures to receive and dispatch goods via national and international transport services, in complete conformity with local and international authorities’ strict health recommendations.
The safety of our customers is our number one priority, which is why we continue to scrupulously follow recommendations provided by the World Health Organization. WHO has confirmed that it is safe to receive packages from any area where COVID-19 has been reported. For more information, please consult the WHO website: https://www.who.int/news-room/q-a-detail/q-a-coronaviruses

With our deliveries, we have taken precautions and are strictly following general recommendations provided by authorities to prevent the spread of the virus and offer maximum protection to those who handle our packages. Most notably, we have implemented contact-free delivery.
How contact-free delivery works?
·       Our delivery personnel will place packages in letterboxes, where possible.
·       If a package does not fit in your letterbox, the delivery person will notify you of their arrival either by knocking or ringing your doorbell.
·        They will then place the package on your doorstep and immediately move at least 1m away (approx. 3 ft) from your entrance, while you open your door. We kindly ask that you wait a few seconds before opening your door to allow for enough time for the delivery person to move away from it.
·       The delivery person may also leave your package on your doorstep and check from a distance that you have received your package. A signature to confirm the reception of your package will therefore not be collected.
·       In light of these new contact-free delivery measures and in the interest of respecting social distancing, please be aware that if you have chosen a delivery option, which requires your signature on reception, your signature may not be collected. Instead, our delivery person may exceptionally leave your package on your landing, doorstep or somewhere in your garden entrance for you to collect from a safe distance.
 The aim of these measures is to avoid close contact with others and, in particular, ensure that packages are not passed from hand to hand.
 As a final precaution, we recommend that you wash your hands thoroughly after receiving and opening your orders.
