Shopping from France
Shop French stores with an EU address in Cyprus
When a French shop delivers across the EU, an address in Cyprus is an ordinary EU delivery for it: no customs, the EU delivery rate, prices in euro. Open a free account, order to your Limassol suite, and we send it on to wherever you live.
Does it have to be a French address?
Only if the shop delivers within France alone. Look for Chypre in the shop's list of delivery countries. If it is there, your Limassol address works like any other European one. If it is not, you need an address in France itself, and we would rather tell you now than after you have paid.
What our customers buy from France
Mostly French pharmacy and beauty brands, sporting goods, books, music and fashion. Popular French stores include Fnac, Sephora, La Redoute, Darty, Decathlon. Not every shop delivers outside France, and some deliver some items and not others: the checkout tells you before you pay.
French pharmacy cosmetics are the classic order: brands on the shelf of every French pharmacy cost far more abroad, when they can be found at all. They are light, travel well and combine neatly into one box.
How long it takes, and what it costs
French orders usually reach our warehouse 4 to 9 working days after they are sent. Cyprus is an island at the far end of the EU, so a shop may take a little longer, and charge a little more, than within France. Then we forward it to you by economy or express, priced before you pay.
Parcels wait with us free for 30 days, so several French orders can arrive, be combined and travel on as one box: one onward charge instead of several.
Taxes
The price at the checkout includes EU VAT, as it does for any European customer, and it is not refunded when we send the parcel on outside the EU. Your own country charges its import duty and taxes on arrival. Neither is part of our price.
Questions
- Is this a French address?
- No. It is a street address in Limassol, Cyprus, which is in the EU. French shops that deliver across the EU deliver to it; shops that deliver only within France do not.
- Can I pay with a card from outside the EU?
- Usually, yes. Shops check the delivery address and the card's country separately, and Cyprus is an ordinary EU delivery address. If a checkout refuses your card, tell us and we will look at it with you.
- Can I send French cosmetics and perfume on?
- Cosmetics, yes. Perfume contains alcohol and counts as dangerous goods for air transport, so it cannot go by every service; tell us before you order it and we will tell you how it can travel to you.
- What if I need to return something?
- Ask us before the parcel is sent on. Once it is with us it can go back to the shop from Cyprus under the shop's own returns policy, and we will tell you what that involves.
