I have dealt with them on a high number of occasions to equip my Africa Twin, my KTM 1190 Adv R and my wife´s Transalp.
You will have to understand and accept that their business model is to have distributors in certain countries which they most certainly have to protect due to contractual obligations, through which they do regular business, which is everything but odd (French specialties such as payment are well known to any traveller trying to purchase gas from a gas station outside daytime Monday through Friday without a French payment card); but it would utterly surprise me if I would not be able to receive help for e.g. urgent spare parts and accessories from my local German or the local national TT shop if I am on the road abroad. Should your Dutch TT distributor prove to be unhelpful (I cannot see from the Dutch website nor from Google Maps that at the TT Netherlands address the TT distributor is in fact (only) a BMW dealer) - I am surprised you did purchase from the German website although TT offers a Dutch website for its Dutch operations anyways - a call into TT HQ would most certainly have helped. Have you ever contacted TT France regarding their ability to serve you in English?

I try to explain TT that their business models dosn't fit their costumers who travel outside their own country. And this is quit silly for travels who wants to buy TT stuff to travel.....
I got a response today. Later in this treat I will write the solution.
And it's not a specific French problem!!!! It's a world wide problem.
Last Year I called TT Germany and they explained me that I need to order in France. I explaind my trouble with the French Language and way of payment. They could send it to Andorra for me, just 320 KM driving to pick up my stuff. So I ordered at the German website and used an adress in Germany to ship the product. Then this friend ships them to me. It's double work.
