Information provided by the customer when the order is placed is binding. In case of customer error when stating the delivery address, Poterie Ravel cannot be held responsible for being unable to deliver the order within the time indicated. Products will be delivered to the address provided by the customer, subject to accessibility. If the address is not accessible to the delivery vehicle, the customer will be charged for a second delivery. Products, packaged on a palette / on palettes, will be delivered to the roadside at the address (not at the door of houses set back from the road; at the foot of the building for apartments).

Specific delivery times cannot be given. Pots are wrapped on palettes for transportation.

In case of delay, damage, total or partial loss, or any other problem, the customer should address their concerns to the delivery company. Poterie Ravel cannot be held responsible.
