FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
Orders
Can I change or cancel my order before the shipping?
Unfortunately it is not possible to change the quantity or sizes of items after the order has been placed. Anyhow do not worry, we inform you that we can cancel your order before it will be shipped. We suggest contacting our Customer Care as soon as possible, otherwise your order will be regularly shipped.
I have not received the order confirmation e-mail. What shall I do?
We apologize for the inconvenience. We suggest that you first check your junk/spam inbox. If you haven't received it please contact our Customer Care. Click on Contact us.
I have received the shipment confirmation. When will my order arrive?
All orders are shipped within 1-3 working days from the order date, while delivery times vary depending on the shipping option selected at checkout. Please note that the available shipping methods may vary depending on the destination country.
Standard deliveries
There is no guaranteed delivery date for orders sent via postal services and the delivery dates quoted at checkout are an estimation only.
Packages shipped via tracked mail (as opposed to an express service) do not provide continuously updated tracking information. Once the package arrives in your country/location, it will be passed on to an internal postal service for delivery.
If your order has not arrived by the expected date, we kindly request that you wait for another 10-14 business days, to allow for any customs inspections or possible postal delays in your area. Should the order still not arrive by this time, please contact us so that we can open an investigation with our shipping partner.Express deliveries
Packages shipped via express can be tracked using the link sent in your shipping confirmation. Please note that some standard express can take up to 48 hours to generate information to their tracking website.
To track your order, please click on the link at the bottom of the page: Order Status
If there has been no update on the tracking information for more than 5 business days, please let us know so that we can open an investigation with the shipper.I placed an order but it does not appear in my account. Why?
You have probably placed the order as a Guest customer, which means that you are not registered, therefore it does not appear in your account. If you already had an account when you placed your order, you probably did not log in. Or you simply created the account after placing the order. However, don't worry, you can still track your order as soon as you receive the shipping confirmation email.
I have not yet received any tracking information
It can take between 1-4 business days (not including weekends and Italian national holidays) for us to prepare a package for international delivery. Once your order ships, you will be sent an auto-email containing the tracking information.
To track your order, please go to the bottom of our website and click on Order Status.What happens if I’m not home to accept my delivery?
Express Deliveries: If you are not in when your parcel arrives, the express will usually try again, or will leave a card with details on how to pick up your order or rearrange delivery.
Standard Deliveries: Standard packages are delivered by your local post office service and do not require a signature for delivery, so would normally be put through your door or left in the mailbox. If the package is too large, your local postal delivery service should leave a card with details on how to pick up your order or rearrange delivery.My tracking shows delivered, but I don’t have my package
If the package is too large, your local postal delivery service should leave a card with details on how to pick up your order or rearrange delivery. If the tracking indicates that this has been delivered, we kindly request that you check with a member of your household or a neighbor, as perhaps one of them collected or signed for the package. If there is no sign of the package, please contact us so that we can open an investigation.
My package has been “Returned to Sender”
We are unable to re-ship international orders. A refund will be issued once the package arrives back to our warehouse. Please note that this could take some time (maybe even a few weeks).
If you still wish to purchase this item(s), please place a new order.Can I change my delivery address?
If your order has not yet shipped, then we should be able to update your address, so long as the delivery country/location remains the same. If, on the other hand, your order has already shipped, it depends on the delivery method selected. For Standard deliveries we cannot intercept standard packages. If the package is undelivered, it will eventually be returned to us. For Express deliveries, depending on the status of the delivery and the express, we may be able to update the address (we cannot guarantee but will make the best effort to do so).
Please contact us urgently if you need to change your delivery address.May I enter a post office box (p.o. box) as a shipping address?
For Standard deliveries, packages are delivered by your local post office service and do not require a signature upon receipt, so these can be delivered to a PO Box. Instead, for Express deliveries, a signature is required, so we are unable to deliver express or standard courier packages to a PO Box.
My country is outside the European Union. Will I be charged customs duties for my order?
Import duties and taxes may apply upon receipt of international orders. These duties & taxes are beyond our control as they are set by the Customs Authority of the destination country/location. You will find more information directly at the checkout.
I want to make a return but my country is outside the European Union. Will I be charged customs duties for my return?
Customs duties must be paid by the parcel receiver. If your Country is out of the European Union and you are returning items to us in Italy, customs duties will be at our expense. As you may have been charged with customs duties for the original shipment of your order, we confirm to you that these fees will be paid by us for your return shipping.
