Delivery

You're organising an event, and the only thing that matters is that your colours arrive on time. Here's how we go about it, in France and across Europe.

Ordered and paid before 12:00? We ship the same day.
Monday to Friday, from our warehouse.
Up to 100 kg — your order ships as parcels (5 parcels maximum).
Over 100 kg — it ships on a pallet, with a specialist carrier.

Lead times in working days, from an order placed and paid before 12:00. An estimated lead time is still our service commitment: it's the arrival date that isn't contractual, not the delivery itself.

of parcels arrive on time — and even 97 % with express. Often, they turn up earlier than expected!

What to know about each option

🇫🇷

In France

FedEx — Express

Delivered next day before 1 pm

This is our only option with a guaranteed lead time: if a delay is proven and attributable to FedEx, a refund of 50 % of the delivery charge can be requested by email. Last slot to be delivered before the weekend: Thursday 12:00.

DPD — Standard

48 to 72h

Delivery to your door, signature required. The most economical option for fast home delivery.

Mondial Relay — Pick-up point

3 to 5 days

You're notified by email as your parcel progresses. Online tracking isn't always updated straight away: if you've heard nothing after a week, call your pick-up point directly — the parcel is often already there.

Kuehne+Nagel / Geodis — Pallet

2 to 5 days, for orders over 100 kg

Delivery by appointment. The carrier sometimes hands the pallet over to a local partner without always telling us, and the clock can then restart from zero. For a pallet, leave yourself room: at least 7 days between your order and the date you want it.

🇪🇺

Across Europe

DHL Express / FedEx — Express

Delivery in 24 to 48h

Our only express option in Europe for parcel shipments. Last slot to be delivered before the weekend: Thursday 12:00.

DPD / DHL Economy — Standard

3 to 5 days

Delivery to your door, signature required. The most economical option for fast home delivery.

Schenker export — Pallet

Between 3 and 7 days depending on your country and region

Our best solution for large orders over 100 kg delivered across Europe.

The advice we give everyone

The lead times shown are estimates, based on thousands of shipments. Transport remains subject to things we don't control: bad weather, strikes, peak periods, mis-sorting, incomplete addresses…

So when you have an event date, order a few days ahead. It gives us room to react if something goes wrong — and saves you the night-before stress.

4 habits for a delivery without a hitch

1
Get your details right
  • The full address: door code, building, floor…
  • A valid mobile number — the one of the person taking delivery
  • First name, surname, company, postcode and country
2
Make sure someone's thereOur home deliveries require a signature: someone needs to be at the address on the day.
3
Don't count on the driver callingWe wish we could guarantee it, but that call is entirely down to the driver. Better to track your parcel yourself.
4
Order ahead — this really is the big onePast a certain point, we have no room left to act on your delivery:
  • Parcels: from Friday afternoon
  • Pallets: from Wednesday
