Orders & Deliveries

Can I change or cancel my order?

We are unable to add an item to an order already placed, in this case it is best to place a new order.

If you wish to cancel or modify your order, we invite you to contact our customer service as soon as possible. Depending on the status of your order, we cannot guarantee that your request will be processed, so we invite you to pay particular attention to the delivery address provided.

Please be assured that returns are possible within 14 days of receipt of the package and free of charge from mainland France if you wish to cancel the order following a change of mind.

I have not received my order confirmation email.

First, we invite you to check the spam/junk folder of your inbox. If the email does not appear there, you can log in to your customer area (https://www.lexception.com/fr/compte) to check if your order has been validated and if the email address provided is correct.

If your problem persists, contact our Customer Service who will be able to provide you with further details.

What should I do if one of the items received is not the one ordered?

Unfortunately, logistics errors can happen, although these cases are very rare. We are committed to resolving any shipping errors as quickly as possible, so we encourage you to contact us as soon as possible by registering the return of the item directly from your customer area.

You can then select the “I have a problem with this product” option when registering your return and specify in the drop-down menu whether the error relates to the size sent or the item reference. If you received the wrong item, please provide a description of the item received in error and the name of the expected item in the comments field when registering the return of the item. Accurately identifying the product received will help us understand the problem more quickly.

If you ultimately wish to opt for a bank refund, we invite you to specify this in the comments field as well.

We will then get back to you as soon as possible, once we have received your request and are assured of the availability of the item initially ordered.

How long can I expect to receive my order?

When you confirm your order, you will always be given an approximate delivery time. This timeframe takes into account the storage of items in your basket and the delivery method chosen.

How do I know where my order is?

To track the progress of your order, we invite you to log in to your customer area and click on “View details” for the order in question. You will then find a summary of your order and a link allowing you to track the progress of your package. For orders shipped by Colissimo, you can track the progress of your package directly from your customer account. If your order has been marked “In preparation” in your customer area for more than 3 working days without any specific delivery time being specified (you can find the indicative delivery time in your order confirmation email), we invite you to contact us at serviceclient@lexception.zendesk.com, specifying the reference number of the order in question.

Returns & Exchanges

How to make a return?

If the product you received is not suitable for you, you have 14 days from receipt to return any item that does not meet your expectations.

To this end, we invite you to log into your customer account at https://www.lexception.com/fr/compte and register the return or exchange of the item(s) you wish to return (do not hesitate to specify your details in the comments box if you are exchanging another item).

As soon as your return request is registered, a return number will be specified and will also be communicated to you by email: do not forget to indicate it somewhere on your package so that our returns department can identify it.

In mainland France, we invite you to use the prepaid Chronopost label which will be available via your customer account after registering your return procedure. Please note that the outbound shipping label must no longer be visible to avoid any confusion during delivery.

How does my refund work?

When you return your order, you can choose between a refund, a size change, or a product exchange. Refunds are always issued to the original payment method.
Shipping costs, except for express delivery or paid options, are refunded in the event of a full return (for mainland France only). Shipping costs outside mainland France are not refunded.
Gift cards are non-refundable and will be credited to your customer account.

One of the products received is defective, what should I do?

If you received the product in question less than 14 days ago, go to the question “How to make a return”. From the list of return reasons, select “The product is defective”. We also invite you to specify the nature of the defect in the comments field as well as your preference between a standard exchange (subject to stock availability) or a refund (in the form of a credit on your customer account or a refund to your payment method).

If the return deadline has passed, we invite you to contact our customer service by email (serviceclient@lexception.zendesk.com) and include a photo of the defect. We will then contact the brand to confirm that the defect has been taken into account.
