💳Visible costs before payment
For most countries outside France, delivery is completely free. We cover all costs, including:
- transport,
- customs clearance,
- and other shipping-related costs.
This means that the price displayed on our website is exactly the amount you will pay when you place your order. There are no unpleasant surprises upon delivery.
🚚 Shipping fees by destination
France: Shipping is subject to a mandatory fee, in accordance with French regulations (Darcos law).
European Union & Rest of the World: Shipping is free, subject to a minimum order amount.
Variation in book prices depending on destination
The price of a book may vary depending on the country of delivery. This is due to differences in logistics and regulatory costs: a book shipped to France will not have the same price as a book shipped to the other side of the world. This variation only reflects shipping costs and local requirements, but never unexpected additional costs for you.
🌍 International shipping — Free
For most countries around the world, shipping costs are:
🟢 100% free, regardless of the weight of the package or the carrier used.
A minimum cart amount may be required depending on the destination to ensure reliable shipping and an optimal experience.
⚠️ Minimum order amount required
For most destinations, a minimum order amount is required to validate your purchase.
If the total amount of your cart does not reach the required minimum,
we will not be able to validate or process your order.In this case, checkout will not be possible until the minimum amount is reached.
👉 We therefore invite you to add additional items to your cart until the required minimum order amount is met.
📢 The minimum threshold, if any, is automatically displayed in your cart and adjusts automatically based on the destination and contents of your cart.
❌ No paid shipping option below the minimum
Please note that we do not offer paid shipping options to bypass the minimum order requirement.
This policy allows us to offer reliable service and an optimal customer experience worldwide.
Delivery in France — Mandatory fees (Darcos law)
📢 In France, the Darcos law of December 30, 2021, which aims to support the book industry and strengthen fairness and trust among its players, requires all online book sellers to charge a minimum delivery fee of €3 for any order containing new books worth less than €35.
For orders of €35 or more, delivery remains chargeable but with no minimum requirement, and will therefore be billed at 1 euro cent (€0.01).
