How shipping from China to France actually works.
Peregrine ships from China to France in 3 to 5 days door-to-door, with the local last-mile carrier on every customer tracking page. Built for dropshipping and DTC brands on Shopify, with optional 3PL fulfillment and custom packaging for higher-volume operators. The lane covers the demand picture, the carrier, the customs math, and who is already shipping it.
The market
France is the second-largest continental ecommerce market behind Germany and Roissy-CDG clears most IOSS parcels in under 24 hours. The 19,000+ Pickup point network is the preferred delivery method for French customers under 35.
Local last-mile carrier on every package
Colissimo handles most France last-mile, with Mondial Relay and Pickup points available for customers who prefer locker collection. The tracking page shows French-language scan events (Pris en charge, En cours de livraison, Livré) and the China origin leg stays hidden.
De-minimis €150, VAT 20%
IOSS lets parcels under €150 enter duty-free with 20% TVA collected at checkout and remitted via the seller's EU registration. Above €150, TVA plus duty assessed at Roissy gets pre-paid through the dashboard before dispatch.

Will my customer see La Poste on tracking?
Yes, on the majority of shipments. Colissimo handles most French last-mile with French-language scan events (Pris en charge, En cours de livraison, Livré). Mondial Relay and Pickup points are alternates for customers selecting parcel-shop collection at checkout.
Can French customers pick up at a Pickup point or Mondial Relay locker?
Yes. The 19,000+ Pickup point network and Mondial Relay parcel-shops are supported at checkout, and the dashboard routes parcels to the chosen point. Pickup is included on standard service at no extra charge.
What about returns from France?
French returns route to a European reverse-logistics hub (typically Netherlands or Belgium). Customer scans a prepaid Colissimo return label, parcel lands at the hub in 4 to 6 days, restocked or refunded per your policy. Returns do not go back to China.
