In this case, the Buyer will be reimbursed for the amount of the Order, minus shipping costs, by the same means of payment used for the purchase.

In case of loss of package, Cousin.e.s Cosmetics is responsible for taking action against the carrier to report the loss and request an investigation of the package.

Being obliged to respect the deadlines of the investigation and the refund/return of the order imposed by Chronopost, the Buyer is also bound by these deadlines.

The claim file allowing to open an investigation generally consists of several documents (certificate of honor, identity documents, Chronopost personal claim number) which will be requested from the Buyer by the Customer Service of Cousin.e.s Cosmetics, during their exchanges.

The results of the investigations are given by the carriers within 1 to 3 weeks. A refund or a new shipment of the order will be offered to the Buyer according to the findings of the investigation. Cousin.e.s Cosmetics will do its best to reduce these delays.
