INCOMPLETE DELIVERY AND DELIVERY ISSUES

The delivery of items can only occur at the mentioned address and after the payment is processed.

Each parcel will be remitted to the customer at the private address mentioned and only in exchange for a signature and ID verification (for international orders: mailboxes, local businesses or public address cannot be accepted). Therefore, it is very important to be very specific when filling the Delivery Address and Name fields.
In case of a mistake in the Delivery Address fields or Customer Name, Hartford cannot be held responsible of its inability to ship the order.
In case of an incomplete delivery, the customer will be informed by email of the partial delivery of the order. Another email will inform the customer when the remaining items are ready to be shipped.
In the event when the postman could not remit the parcel to the customer in person, the parcel will be returned to us and we will contact you by email directly. Depending on the cases, we will confirm the correct delivery details and agree on a new delivery date. In that case, delivery charges are to be supported by the customer.
If at delivery, the parcel looks damaged, the customer will carefully open the parcel in front of the postman so that the condition of the items can be verified. In case of damaged items, the customer will precisely explain the nature of damages on the delivery receipt or he/she can decide to refuse the parcel.

If you haven’t received your parcel 7 business days after the date indicated in the confirmation, and if no delivery attempt notification was left, please contact our Customer Service by email [email protected] or by phone +33 1 58 39 39 86.
