Returns and Refunds

How do I make a return?

We kindly ask you to submit your return request exclusively through our online returns portal, in accordance with our returns policy.

You have 14 days from the receipt of your order to make a return.

To return an item, simply follow these steps:

  1. Visit our returns portal via the “Make a Return” link from your customer account, or by clicking here: https://auvieuxcampeur-cp.com/a/return
  • Select the relevant order, tick the items you wish to return, and specify the reason for the return.
  • Confirm your request: a prepaid return label will automatically be generated.
  • Print the label and attach it to your parcel.

Please note before shipping:

  • Return shipping costs: A flat fee of €4.99 will be deducted from your total refund.
  • Each return label is strictly linked to a specific order.
    If you are making multiple returns, please ship each order in a separate package with the corresponding label. It is not possible to combine multiple orders into a single shipment.
  • For returns from France, you can visit the Chronopost website to find the drop-off location nearest to you.
  • Orders Delivered in Multiple Packages
    If your order is delivered in multiple shipments, please wait until you have received your entire order before requesting a return.
    If you request a return for each package separately, return fees may be charged multiple times.
  • Returns for online purchases are not accepted in stores, and vice versa.
Order delivered in multiple parcels

If your order is delivered in several shipments, we kindly ask you to wait until you have received the entire order before submitting a return request.

If separate return requests are made for each parcel, return fees may be charged multiple times.

Returns for online purchases are not accepted in-store, and vice versa.

What are the refund timescales?

You will receive an automatic email notification once your refund has been processed.

Refunds will be issued using the same payment method used for the original order. Refunds are processed within fourteen (14) days from the date we are notified of your decision to withdraw. This timeframe may be slightly extended if we have not yet received the returned product(s) or if you have not provided proof of shipment.

Is it possible to exchange one or more products?

We do not offer exchanges for items purchased on our website.

However, you may return your item for a refund and place a new order for the desired item on our website.

What should I do if there is an issue upon receiving my order?

When receiving my parcels, if I believe that the packaging shows signs of damage, I may:

  • Refuse the parcel, in which case it will be returned directly to the sender.
  • Request that the parcel be held at my local post office so that I may open it in the presence of an authorised agent.

If an item is missing or damaged, please contact our customer service team immediately upon receipt, specifying your order number and attaching photos of the parcel and/or the affected items.

What should I do if an item is faulty?

We take the utmost care to ensure the quality of our products.


However, if—despite all the quality checks we perform—you find a defect, please report it by contacting our customer service team at infos.vcampeur@vcampeur.fr. Our customer service team will provide you with instructions on how to proceed so that we can inspect the product.
If the defect is found to be our fault, we will refund you, and we will cover the costs of return and reshipment.
If no defect is found, you will be responsible for the costs of return and reshipment.

In the confirmation email, you will find your order number as well as a summary of your basket.

If you have not received a confirmation email, please contact our customer service team, providing the date and time of the order as well as the order amount.

We will then confirm whether the order has been successfully placed or advise you on any further action required.

Can I change my delivery address?

Once your order has been paid for, it is no longer possible to modify the delivery address.

Can I change the delivery method or postpone delivery?

Once your order has been paid for, the delivery method can no longer be changed, and unfortunately we are unable to reschedule or postpone a delivery.

How can I track my order delivery?

You can track your « parcel » from your customer account as soon as your order has been handed over to the carrier.

If you do not have a customer account: an email containing your tracking number will be sent to you as soon as your order has been shipped.

If you cannot find your tracking number, or if you are unable to track your order, please do not hesitate to contact our customer service team for assistance.

If your order is taking longer than expected to arrive, first check that it has been successfully processed: following payment approval, you should have received an order confirmation email.

You will then receive another email confirming that your order has been dispatched. If after 5 working days you have received nothing and no delivery notice has been left in your letterbox, please contact our customer service team.

What should I do if the parcel is returned by the carrier?

Parcels returned to the sender are often due to an error in the delivery address, repeated absence during delivery attempts, or a parcel awaiting collection at a post office beyond the 14-day holding period.

In all cases, when our warehouse receives a returned parcel, our team will contact the customer.

Nevertheless, we invite you to contact our team at infos.vcampeur@vcampeur.fr to determine whether a new shipment can be arranged if desired.
