INVOICING

DELIVERY AND SHIPPING

Items are delivered within 1 to 7 working days of the order throughout mainland France. This timeframe is an estimate and may vary depending on item availability. A delay cannot be held against ACT and does not entitle the customer to cancel the contract or claim compensation. If goods have not been delivered one month after the order date, ACT will refund them by cheque or bank transfer. Parcels are delivered by the postal service or an express carrier to the address provided when the order is placed. ACT cannot guarantee a specific delivery time.
