In case of absence, the Buyer or the intended recipient of the product ordered will receive a delivery notice from his mailman, which will allow him to collect the product ordered from his local post office within a period of fifteen days.

The Buyer is responsible for checking, in the presence of the mailman or deliverer, the state of the product packaging and its content upon delivery.

In the event that the Buyer has a doubt of whatever nature about the state or the contents of the package, he must:

- apply the Colissimo procedure (notably, signaling whatever damages, complaints and doubts) and refuse the merchandise by making an abnormality report with the post employee (report 170).

If the item has not been delivered within this period, the Buyer will have the possibility of cancelling his order. The sums paid by the buyer will be transferred back to him without delay.

In the case of a delay in delivery relative to the initially fixed date, the Buyer must inform TIPTHARA of this in writing (by post or email) in order for them to launch an investigation with the transporter.

An investigation with the French post may last up to 21 working days. If during this delay, the product is localized, it will be immediately sent to the place of delivery specified on the order form.
