LOGISTICS COMMITMENT POLICY AND BLACKLIST
VALETZ SAS — Caribbean Style, Colombian Soul
At VALETZ SAS, our goal is to provide confidence and convenience through our Cash on Delivery service. This model is based on a mutual agreement of good faith between the brand and the consumer. Below, we explain how we protect our logistics operation:
1. The Impact of a Rejected Order
When you choose cash on delivery, VALETZ SAS — Caribbean Style, Colombian Soul pays in advance for the shipping, packaging, and operational costs required to deliver the product to your door. Refusing an order without a valid reason causes a direct financial loss to our business.

- Unjustified refusal: Customers who do not receive the order simply due to a last-minute change of mind or "lack of willingness" at the time of delivery.
- Repeated no-shows: Customers who, despite the carrier's attempts, are not at the address or do not answer calls.
- Consequence: Contact details (phone number, ID number, and email) will be blocked in our system and those of our logistics partners, permanently restricting access to future purchases using cash on delivery.
3. How to avoid restriction or get off the list?
We understand that unforeseen circumstances can arise. At VALETZ SAS, we value transparency and open communication:
- Tell us what happened: If you encountered an issue beyond your control, had concerns about the quality upon delivery, or were unsure about our policies and warranties, we want to hear from you!
- Resolution channel: Before a permanent restriction is applied, please contact us at info@valetz.com.co or via WhatsApp at 310 755 9100 to explain the situation.
- Our commitment: Once the situation is clarified, we will avoid restricting your access and will work to find a solution that does not affect your purchase history with us.
