Your safeguard

Protected transaction: if we can't buy it, you're fully refunded

The biggest fear in cross-border requests is paying and then losing contact. At Quai de France, after you approve the quote and pay the deposit, if the item is out of stock or the seller cancels the order, we refund everything, including the service fee. Every payment is backed by a registered French company.

  1. 1 After you approve the quote, you pay the deposit (product + shipping + service fee).
  2. 2 We purchase, receive, consolidate, pack and ship in France, reporting throughout.
  3. 3 If we can't buy it, full refund (service fee included) — zero risk.

Once the item is purchased or shipped, handling follows the product's condition and carrier rules. See “Service Rules & Customs”.

Common questions

Q

Can you buy from Amazon.fr?

If the item already ships to Taiwan via Amazon, ordering it yourself is usually cheaper. Our value is sellers that won't ship to Taiwan, and multi-shop consolidation.

Q

Can I get a VAT refund?

No VAT refund promised for now. It requires proper invoices and proof of export; the option will come later for B2B clients.

Q

Can you ship alcohol?

Our individual line doesn't handle alcohol or food. But specific items such as wine can go through a case-by-case / project review, with compliance and tax checks — email us.

Q

Can you ship furniture?

Large furniture and sea-freight needs can be referred to a logistics partner or our B2B service — email us.

Q

Can you help with Vinted / Leboncoin?

Yes. We can help communicate with French second-hand platform sellers, purchase or receive the item, check it on arrival, then ship it to Taiwan. Second-hand items are reviewed case by case.

Q

How do you estimate shipping and service fees?

We look at item size and weight, seller location, whether consolidation is needed, and whether unpacking, parcel slimming, or reinforcement is required, then send a clear quote.

Q

What if the site or seller looks suspicious?

Before purchasing, we do a basic review. If the site, payment method, or seller status raises concerns, we warn you first and may recommend not taking the case.
