Shipping
Last updated: 10 July 2026
Tignasse ships its physical products via DPD to 15 European Union countries. Digital products (BKN books, DG- activation codes, Salon subscription) are delivered instantly by email and accessible from the webapp.tignasse.fr web application — see the "Digital products and services" section below for the full flow. Physical shipping fees are computed at checkout based on the destination country and the order's net subtotal.
Shipping zones
The DPD pricing grid applicable from 1 January 2026 distinguishes five zones:
- National — Mainland France
- Euro 1 — Germany, Belgium, Luxembourg, Netherlands
- Euro 2 — Austria, Spain, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Czech Republic

- Euro 4 — Finland
Tignasse currently ships to 15 European Union countries. For shipping requests outside this area, please contact contact@tignasse.fr.
Pricing
Shipping fees are quoted excluding VAT (net amounts). French VAT at 20% applies to shipments within France; for intra-EU shipments with a valid VAT number, fees are invoiced under reverse-charge (article 283-2 of the French General Tax Code).
| Zone | Order ≤ €200 net | Order > €200 net |
|---|---|---|
| Mainland France | €12.50 net | Free |
| Euro 1 | €23.00 net | €13.00 net |
| Euro 2 | €29.50 net | €19.50 net |
| Euro 3 | €33.00 net | €23.00 net |
| Euro 4 | €48.00 net | €38.00 net |
Free shipping within mainland France for any order above €200 net. For other zones, a €10 net rebate applies above this threshold.
How fees are computed
The applicable fee is determined by the destination country in the shipping address and by the net subtotal of the order. The cart updates the amount in real time: no surcharge is added to the invoice.
Parcel weight has no impact on the fee: the DPD grid is a flat rate per zone and per tier.
Parcel tracking
Once the parcel is dispatched, a confirmation email is sent when the parcel is handed to the DPD carrier. No email is sent upon delivery.
For any question about a parcel in transit (including a tracking request), contact contact@tignasse.fr with the order number.
Absence at delivery
If no one is present when the courier arrives, DPD leaves a delivery notice allowing the parcel to be picked up at a relay point or rescheduled.
Parcels not collected within DPD's deadlines will be returned to Tignasse. A new dispatch may be invoiced to the buyer, unless otherwise agreed in writing.
Inspection on receipt
It is essential to inspect the parcel's condition upon receipt. If the packaging is open, crushed or damaged, the buyer must refuse the parcel and write a precise reservation on the delivery slip.
Any anomaly (damage, missing item, damaged parcel, broken products) must be noted on the delivery slip at the time of signature, then confirmed by registered letter to the carrier within two business days following receipt, with a copy sent to contact@tignasse.fr.
Without a written reservation, the parcel is deemed delivered in conformity — no subsequent claim can be accepted.
Digital products and services
Delivery depends on the purchased format:
- Digital-only book (BKN variant) — 100 % digital delivery, no shipment and no shipping fee
