I do not receive emails sent by Viparis Store

An email is automatically sent to you to confirm the creation of your account.

We encourage you to check your spam folder if you don't find the link, as it may be there depending on your company's email policies.

Still not receiving our emails? Contact your IT department so they can add contact@e-viparisstore.com to your company's list of trusted senders. An email is always sent to you to confirm the creation of your account.

When can I order my services?

You can place an order as soon as the catalogue for your event is available on our Viparis Store website. No orders can be placed by telephone or in paper format.

What is a shopping list? Is it the same thing as an order?

Your shopping list is not an order. It is a "work in progress," which you are free to change over time. It is connected to a specific event and has a name chosen by you.

As soon as your choice of services and/or budget has been finalised, the next step is to convert your shopping list into an order. This is done by clicking on "Order" while logged into your customer account.

Keep an eye on deadlines when placing your order.

When is my order registered by the sales team?

Below are the steps for ordering :

- Select the products and services you need, indicating quantities for each item, and click on "Add to cart".

- Place your order by clicking on "Order"
(Please note: "add to shopping list" is not the same thing as ordering)

- Save your stand information

- Upload your floor plan, or create an online plan using our 3D planning tool
(Please note: remember to save your floor plan)

- Select (or create) your invoice address.
(NOTE: you can provide a purchase order number at this point)

- Select your payment method

You will then receive an order confirmation email. Your order will be reviewed by our team and validated within 72 hours.

Please note: this commercial validation is not a technical validation, which may be subject to further review and could take longer.

You can access your order at any time in your personal account under "Orders and Invoices".

For any questions, please contact the Exhibitor Services department at +33 (0)1 40 68 16 16

 

A floor plan is requested when placing my order. What elements should be included in it?

The floor plan is a drawing of your stand that includes its dimensions and location. On the plan you need to indicate where you would like the services you are ordering to be placed, using crosses and specific captions:

- Your stand's precise location, specifying aisles and adjacent stands ;
- The exact location for each service you are ordering ;
- Your company’s name ;
- Your stand number ;
- if you are ordering suspended elements, please indicate the height and total weight.

In addition, please legibly note the date your plan was created, along with your telephone number and e-mail so that our teams can follow up with you.

NOTE: If you do not provide a floor plan, we will not be able to install your services at your stand, or they will be installed according to standard Viparis procedures. Please note that you will be invoiced for any request to reposition equipment that has already been installed.

What does a crossed price mean?

When you order a service and  two rates are displayed, one of which is crossed out, this means that you have exceeded the deadline for ordering and that the rate of your item is increased by 20%.

How can I pay for my order?

You can pay by check, bank transfer or credit card.

PLEASE NOTE: Cash payments are no longer accepted.

Which services are subject to VAT at Viparis?

European Directive 2008/8/EC of 12 February 2008 amended the rules for applying VAT to services invoiced to foreign clients in connection with trade fairs and exhibitions. This Directive was the subject of detailed commentary published in the tax guidelines of 28 March 2011.

Services directly related to the venue (space rental, utilities – water and compressed air, electricity, cleaning, security, and parking) are subject to French VAT. However, services related to the organization of the trade fair (atmosphere, stand design, etc.) are not subject to French VAT.

Our VAT rules are available in PDF format by clicking here.

IMPORTANT! Remember to update your intra-Community VAT number or proof of exemption in your online account.

When will I receive my invoice?

The invoice is sent by mail 48 hours after your order is confirmed. You can also access it within the same timeframe directly in your Viparis Store customer account.

NEW: Since September 1, 2026, electronic invoicing for businesses has been mandatory in France.

The original invoice is sent by email to the "electronic invoicing" address you provided in your Viparis Store customer account. If this email address is missing or incorrect, the invoice will be sent by mail.

Go to your customer account to check your billing information.

What is optimised logistics at the Palais des Congrès in Paris ?

The principle: centralize deliveries upstream via a logistics platform before consolidating them all to the Palais des Congrès de Paris (stand delivery). A turnkey service provided by our partner ESI.

Semi-trailers and full trucks can access without going through the platform (a waiting area is available nearby if needed), but must use ESI's services for loading/unloading their vehicles and on-site handling (excluding general installers). Certain businesses will also be authorized to deliver directly to the Palais des Congrès: caterers, floral decorators, furniture rental companies, audiovisual companies, and signage providers. They can use ESI's services for handling at the station if they wish.

For direct deliveries, the applicant must submit an access request via LOGIPASS, which will be validated by ESI.

Express drop-off is permitted for small, bulk equipment requiring no more than 30 minutes at the delivery station. The delivery driver must submit a "drop-off" request via LOGIPASS, and a 30-minute window will be allocated to them at the delivery station in a designated area.

Please note: only 4 dedicated spaces are available, and a surcharge will be applied for every 15 minutes of delay.

Delivery dates on the ESI platform: between 15 and 3 business days before the desired delivery date at the stand.

Collection dates on the ESI platform: between 1.5 and 10 business days, between 9:00 AM and 4:00 PM after the scheduled pick-up date at the stand.

IMPORTANT! No delivery will be accepted by ESI without prior order confirmation. Orders must be placed no later than 7 days before the service.

What is optimised logistics at CNIT FOREST ?

The principle: centralizing deliveries upstream via a logistics platform before consolidating them all to the CNIT FOREST site (stand delivery). A turnkey service provided by our partner WEL.

Semi-trailers and full trucks can access CNIT FOREST without going through the platform (a waiting area is available nearby if needed), but must use WEL's services for loading/unloading their vehicles and handling on site (excluding general installers). Certain businesses will also be authorized to deliver directly: caterers, floral decorators, furniture rental companies, audiovisual companies, signage companies, and can use WEL's services for handling in the delivery area if they wish.
