Guides written from the warehouse floor: what actually blocks you when you buy from France abroad, how the price of a shipment is built, and how to get around it — country by country, site by site.
A French address in your name, your orders delivered there, one box shipped on to you. The steps, consolidation, customs — and what to check before you choose a service.
One of the fastest destinations in Asia: the delivery times we see, and what Singapore Customs collects.
No duties, no VAT on arrival: the simplest destination in Asia, and the delivery times we see.
What Dubai collects on arrival, what can't come in, and the delivery times we see.
In the European Economic Area but outside the customs union: what that changes for a parcel from France.
At the end of the world, but well served: the delivery times we see, and what NZ Customs collects.
Riyadh and Jeddah well served, a customs that asks for your ID, and restrictions to know before you order.
Doha in under a week: the delivery times we see, and what Qatar customs collects.
Montréal and Québec City: the delivery times we see, and the GST and QST side of customs.
Consolidation, volumetric weight, customs, carriers: what to know before you ship, without the jargon.
Three orders, one box: what consolidation does to the price, how we do it in the warehouse, and the mistakes that cancel it out.
The calculation every carrier makes, the example that makes it obvious, and how we pick the box so you don't pay for air.
Duties, taxes, the carrier's handling fee: what each one is, what it's calculated on, and why nobody can include them for you.
Aerosols, batteries, perfume, alcohol: what's refused everywhere, what goes through under conditions, and what depends on your country.
What really separates the offers you see — delivery time, tracking, customs clearance, delivery mode — and how to choose for each parcel.
Where the personal code goes, what to do with missing fields, and the three mistakes that delay a parcel on arrival.
Each guide explains how the price is built, the delivery times we see, and what your customs will ask for.
Why you're blocked, and the three ways around it — with the limits of each one.
The most closed French site of all: no international version, and sellers who prefer to hand over in person.
What's useless, what sometimes helps, and what solves the problem for good.
