1. DESIGNERBOX IN A FEW WORDS

By facilitating direct sales and developing strong editorial content, Designerbox has been challenging traditional distribution methods and promoting accessible design since 2012.

Designerbox is now accelerating its developments and as of January 2019 is the first international platform for the sale and promotion of exclusively independent design and interiors talents. Ethical, fair trade, transparent… This is a platform that places creativity at the very heart of its business model, because behind each and every object lie the knowledge and skills of a unique creator, and that is what makes us stand out.

 

2. ORDERS AND PAYMENT

How to track my order?

You can track your orders in real time. We will send you two automatic tracking emails, the first one at the validation of your order and the second one when your order has been shipped by the seller. If you do not receive these emails, please check your unwanted emails as well as the email address you provided.

If you have a customer account, it is possible to follow the status of your current orders by selecting your order from your customer area, in the "My Orders" section.

Your orders can have the following status:

 

I did not receive my order confirmation or shipping email

First check the email address registered on your customer account. If the e-mail address is correct, remember to also check your junk mail. Our e-mails can sometimes hide there!

 

How do I access my order details?

To get the details of your order, go to your Designerbox account, in the "My Orders" section and everything will be there (Invoices, details of your orders and their shipping status)!

 

What payment methods do you accept?

An order on our website can be paid by credit card (Accepted cards: CB/VISA/MASTERCARD).

 

Is my payment secure?

Designerbox takes the security of your data very seriously and uses SSL secure payment technology. Your personal data and your means of payment are encrypted as they pass from your browser to our payments processor MangoPay.

As soon as you’ve made an order on our Internet site, the URL begins with “https", which means you’re connected to our safe server. Some browsers designate this type of connection with a closed padlock or key symbol.

 

Is it possible to use several promotional codes for the same order?

No, on principle, this is not possible. Our promotional offers cannot be cumulated. Subscriber’s discounts cannot be combined with other discount vouchers.

 

My discount code doesn't work. What shall I do?

Are you sure you have entered your discount code in the appropriate field?

If it is valid, a new line will appear under your shopping cart, indicating the amount of the discount.

The code must be entered at the moment you confirm your purchase, in the dedicated box in your basket.

If it still doesn’t work, contact us at hello@designerbox.com or by phone at 01 73 30 56 69, with your code and the product you want to buy, and we’ll find a solution as quickly as possible.

 

3. PRODUCTS ET AVAILABILITY

How do i know which products are available?

A product’s availability is flagged up on its page, just below the "Add to basket" button. The product is either immediately available ("In stock"), or available within a period indicated in weeks in the product sheet ("Shipped within X weeks"). You still have the possibility to add it to your cart and to buy it in order to reserve it.. It will be sent to you within the time-frame mentioned.

Thus, the delivery time varies according to the production time of the ordered article. Some products are produced on demand – see the availability and delivery details on the specific product sheet.

 

I need more information about a product

Our product sheets are as detailed as possible and should give you all the information you need. You will find all these details in the "PRODUCT FEATURES" section.

You can also find out more about the designer of the item in the "DISCOVER THE DESIGNER" section.

 

How can I leave feedback for the sender?

Once you’re received your item, you’ll receive an email asking you for your feedback about it.

All comments are moderated before appearing on the site.

 

4. DELIVERY

What is Designerbox's delivery area?

Sellers define their own delivery area. Please refer to the Shipping and Returns section on the product sheets to find out the delivery area of the products.

 

How long does delivery take?

The delivery time varies according to the production time of the ordered item. Some products are produced on demand, therefore users should check the availability and delivery information available on each product sheet.

 

Is it possible to pick up my item from the Designer's workshop?

The different delivery/pickup options are proposed at the Delivery step during your purchase. If the seller offers pickup in the workshop and lives near you, you can go directly to pick up your item by selecting this delivery method.

Once your order is ready, the seller will email you his or her exact address and will decide together on a date and time of appointment.

No payment should be made when collecting the item. The seller will be paid once the sale is completed.

Please note: no returns can be made if you pick up your item in person, so make sure that the item is suitable for you when you pick it up. If you don’t like it, don’t take it; email us at hello@designerbox.com for a refund.
