Dubocado offers an experience based upon the provision of goods that are often personalised or made to order. A lot of hard work has been organised to show all products and collections with full accuracy, but what you actually see will depend on the monitor or other settings for your computerised system.
​
1 - WAYS TO HELP - Services on offer are highly skilled and specialised but always check everything before you buy here. All necessary information is provided on a product page.

​
Free guidance & consultation - this free consultation is like a greet and meet. Firstly, you will be reassured that the service is genuine. Secondly, it will give us the chance to clarify how you can place an order with us. This free consultation is usually provided via video conferencing or other the telephone.

Once acquired, your membership can always be cancelled, but it is not refundable.
​
The Worthwhile service(*) - This offer is available if you wish to learn how to make a gift for example. Goods will be personalised on a limited basis or under an exclusive collection.

It is therefore your sole responsibliity to insure that you have organised an order or tuition exercise well in time for an event or for a special occasion. You will be offered a private consultation where everything will be clarified. A written communication will also be sent out to list out how and where we will organise the chosen activity for you, This written communication will be done via letter, email or text and subject to your instructions.
(*) If your worthwile tuition class is part of a Bon Ami membership and as a gift offer for someone you know or love, you will receive a voucher or code offering some cash back for a successful booking. You can book the tuition class as a surprise or you can let the recipient decide what is best for them by placing your order directly here. At the end of a tuition class, your favourite referal will also receive a free gift as an extra option. Everything can be clarified and decided during your private consultation. Please note that our refund policy applies regarding this service.
​
The pre-order; this service is available when an order needs more time than normal to be produced. For example, this would be the case if you opted for services like the illustré or a poem writing as part of your purchase. Soon thereafter, someone from the office will contact you with a courtesy call and to ascertain any clarification if necessary. You will be given an estimate for when your order will be ready like here. This particular time may be affected by events out of our control such as delays or strikes affecting the running of all facilities. You will be informed accordingly if a delivery is going to be later than planned. If that is the case, a free gifting surprise worth the value of £25 will also be included with your delivery. Once your order is ready, an e-sample will be sent out to your inbox and a time for dispatch can be confirmed. All related information can be found on a product page but they may also be provided by email or text.
​
Waiting list; Services can be very popular. As a result, your order may need to be placed on a waiting list. If that is the case, you will receive a pre warning via email along with our well wishing notice card; this art card will notify you or the bearer that a surprise is in the making and that everything will be with them very soon. If you need more information, please request clarification here before placing your order with us.
​
