You placed an order with Damart and need a quick response regarding an exchange, a refund, or delivery tracking. The most direct reflex is to call. However, you need to know which number to dial, when to call, and what alternatives exist if the line is busy.
What the 60-day return policy changes for your calls
Since 2024, Damart has implemented a 60-day return and exchange policy for online purchases in France. This detail changes how you can plan your call to customer service.

With a standard return period of 14 or 30 days, every day counts, and the pressure pushes you to call immediately. Here, the window is wider. You can take the time to check the size, test the product, and call back later if the issue persists.
This also means that advisors handle requests spread out over time. Call peaks at the beginning of the week are still common, but the queue is often shorter mid-week, between Tuesday and Thursday. If your request is not urgent, delaying your call by a few days may be enough to reduce the wait. To find out exactly how to contact Damart customer service by phone, you first need to identify the right number based on your situation.

Damart phone number: which one to dial based on your request
Damart provides a main customer service number accessible from France. This number is listed on the “Contact Us” page of the damart.fr website. It covers the most common requests: order tracking, returns, exchanges, questions about credit card payments, or delivery issues.
Calling a Damart store directly
If you live near a physical store, an often-overlooked option is to call the store itself. Damart stores have their own phone line, with hours sometimes extended until 7:30 PM or 8 PM depending on the shopping center.
This solution is particularly useful for three reasons:
- You speak to a salesperson who has the product in front of them and can check stock or size in real-time.
- The wait time is generally shorter than on the national line, as the volume of calls is lower.
- In case of a return to the store, the advisor can confirm the acceptance conditions before you go.
The contact details for each store are available on shopping center websites or directories like PagesJaunes.
Preparing your call to Damart customer service to save time
A well-prepared call rarely lasts more than a few minutes. An impromptu call can double or triple that time. Before picking up the phone, gather the information the advisor will need.
Information to have on hand
Your order number is the first thing the advisor will ask for. It can be found in the purchase confirmation email and in your online customer account on damart.fr. Without this number, the advisor will have to search for your file by name and address, which prolongs the exchange.
If your call concerns a payment or a refund, also note the last four digits of the credit card used. For a delivery question, the tracking number of the package (sent by email after shipping) speeds up the search.
Clearly stating your request
Let the advisor know right from the start if you are calling for a return, an exchange, a refund, or a complaint. This precision allows for immediate routing to the correct department without successive transfers.
Alternatives to the phone when the Damart line is busy
Sometimes the phone service is hard to reach, especially on Monday mornings or after a promotional event. Several online channels take over.
The email contact form on damart.fr (accessible from the “Contact” page) allows you to describe your issue with attachments (photo of a defective item, screenshot of a payment). The response usually arrives within a few business days.
The online customer area also provides access to order tracking, purchase history, and return requests. For simple operations (consulting a return slip, checking the status of a refund), this interface is often sufficient without making a call.
Unresolved complaint: free recourse through e-commerce mediation
You called, sent an email, and Damart’s response does not satisfy you. Before considering a registered letter, there is a recourse often unknown.
Damart is a member of FEVAD (Federation of e-commerce and distance selling). This membership gives access to the e-commerce mediation service, a free and regulated system. Specifically, if your complaint remains unresolved after communicating with customer service, you can contact the mediator.
The procedure is done online. The mediator reviews the case and proposes a solution within a reasonable timeframe. This recourse does not replace legal action, but it precedes it and often makes it unnecessary.
To ensure a mediation case is admissible, keep all evidence of your exchanges: emails, case numbers, and call dates. A clear history strengthens your position.
The phone remains the fastest channel to reach Damart, provided you choose the right time and the right number. The national line handles the majority of requests, but physical stores offer a local alternative that is often smoother. And if no response satisfies you, FEVAD mediation serves as a free safety net that few customers utilize.
