As for third party vendors not selling on the Amazon platform, they will send their packages normally and directly.
As for French online store Cdiscount, same call: priority is given to essential orders and extended delivery period.
As for interventions carried out by Fnac and Darty to privates', artisans will not come to yours' in case of a TV that no longer works, but they will focus on "cold, cooking, washing" issues giving priority to large families and elderly people.
