Daily
How does it work?
I order what I want on the website: http://else.polytechnique.org and I pick my order the day it is delivered (or shortly after) during the opening hours.
What is an «ELSE account �?
I have an ELSE account on which I can leave money, so that I don't have to pay each time I order something..
It is forbiden to be in the negative on your ELSE account. THeoretically, this can lead to a small fine(RI, article. 2.2.2). In practice, we are kind, but don't play with it!
I have heard that every order should be paid ...
If I cannot pick my order on the day of the delivery, I can ask it to be kept aside until I come. Otherwise, it will be sold to other members.
However, if we don't manage to find someone to buy what you had ordered, you will be charge for it even though you cannot come and pick it.
