SHIPPING

Available shipping options are the same as in Italy.

We recommend that you consider the following information:

• All orders require a signature upon receipt (UPS, DHL),
• We are unable to redirect orders once items have been shipped, so please ensure there is someone who can sign for your order at the specified shipping address.
• The courier does not deliver to P.O. Boxes or use General Delivery.
• If the courier doesn’t find anyone at the indicated address, it will try to deliver the package two more times, leaving a card with instructions on each occasion.

The courier delivers 9am-6pm, Monday to Friday. The courier does not deliver on holidays.

From time to time, we run free shipping promotions. Please note that free shipping promotions will be applied to your order at checkout.
In the event that you need to return an item that you bought during a free shipping promotion, we will not refund the outbound shipping costs.

Please ensure that your contact details are filled in accurately, so that we can contact you if necessary.

We insure each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to you. We require a signature for any goods delivered, at which point responsibility for your purchased goods passes to you. If you are not the receiver of your purchase (for example a gift order) then the person who signs for the package confirms receipt and is accountable for the package.

You can check the current status of your shipment by the tracking number you received at your email.

Local VAT already applied in the price of each product. For all the country’s outside the EU the shipping is on a DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid).

**According to the announcement of the general administration of customs of China, articles shipped to China which are classified as personal use and the value exceeds 1000 RMB, require a formal custom clearance. You may be charged extra duties or fees.

If a destination in DDU (Delivery Duty Unpaid) is selected, the price of the products indicated does not include taxes and duties. The recipient is responsible for all import taxes and customs fees from the country in which the shipment is made. The payment of these fees is necessary to dispense the order from customs charges.

As we are unable to advise on the amount this may be, we invite our customers to verify local taxes and duties before placing an order. Shipping costs are already included in the final amount of your order. However, the courier may present you with a separate invoice from local authorities for duties owed.

Please note that we don’t ship to the Russian Federation for the moment.
