    Can I return the Products I purchased?
    If you are disatisfied with the Products you purchased, because you reasonably see an evident difference between the product and its description in our Catalog or because there is a minor fault, you are entitled for returning the merchandise (or a part of it) and get a refund or a full product replacement.

    Please read carefully the following:

    - Before shipping back one, some or all the products you purchased please contact us, detailing as precisely as possible the reason of your decision about returning the products. Generic or unreasonable reasons won't be accepted: this is a "Business-to-Business" transaction involving a wholesale sale.

    - You will be able to returning the products AFTER getting our written confirmation. All of our communications will be by E-Mail.

    - The purchase amount will be refunded, not the shipping fees (or any duty/tax fee).

    - The shipping for returning the merchandise must be paid by you.

    - The products must be in perfect conditions, not used, and delivered with their original package. If one of these conditions is not met we won't be able to refund or replace the products.

    - We will decide whether refunding or replacing the products you returned. In case of replacement, the shipping fees will be paid by us. If the replacement products are on stock, the whole process will take about seven (7) days. If they aren't available, we will let you know the estimated delivery time.

    More:

    - Our products are usually packaged in sturdy boxes to prevent any reasonable damage during transportation. We are not responsible for any damage due to the shipper negligence or other external factors, though this is an extremely rare occurrence.

    - All our products are carefully inspected before shipping. In the extremely rare case one or more products you received are broken or heavily damaged (not due to transportation issues. This means the original box and package must be intact), please take a few pictures clearly showing the damage and send us them. If the damage is due to our fault we will refund you or replace for free the products, including the shipping fees. We will be fully entitled to decide beween refunding and replacing.


    Sales Terms and Conditions

    How can I pay the Sample(s) or the Order?
    In the bottom part of the Cart you can see the the Payment type associated to your Customer Profile (usually Credit Card or Bank Transfer).
    No other payment than those displayed is available.

    The Sample(s) and the related Shipping Fees must be always paid by Credit Card, as last step of the "check out" process.
    The Order Requests can be paid by Credit Card or Bank Transfer, according to your Customer Profile. If you are allowed to pay by Bank Transfer you can see our Bank Account Data at the bottom of the Cart.
    If you are a Wholesale Buyer, the payment of an Order Request usually takes places later. We will process your Order in order to find out the best and cheapest Shipping Fees, then we will send you a message detailing the Total Order Amount (goods and shipment). Typically this happens within 24/48 hours from your Order.
    At that time you will have to pay the Total Amount by Credit Card (simply clicking a link provided to you) or by Bank Transfer.
    Notice about Bank Transfer: the order will be processed for shipment ONLY when the funds will be actually received by our bank.


    Can I pay by Credit Card?
    Yes, this is one of our favorite ways to collect money from our customers. You can use VISA or MASTERCARD (but not the "Electron" types, which needs a physical "Point of Sale" to be operated properly) . AMERICAN EXPRESS and other cards are usually available when paying through the popular PayPal service.
    No surcharge is applied when paying by Credit Card!

    ATTENTION! If you get the "PAYPAL Pay Now" button at the end of the check out process this means you must pay by Credit Card through the PayPal Service.
    If you never used PayPal before, you must sign up (for free, quickly and safely) with PayPal. You can do this during your first payment.
    Learn more about signing up with PayPal ...


    Do the Prices include local Taxes and Customs Duties?
    No, all Prices are Net. They do NOT include any local Taxes, Customs Duties or Shipping Fees.

    Local Taxes and Customs Duties are so different country by country that no automatic processing is possible. If due, they must cleared by you (usually on behalf of the international courier delivering the goods).


    Is it safe paying by Credit Card?
    Yes, it is! We collect Credit Card payments using popular and trusted services, like PayPal, or the largest Italian Banks. All of them use state-of-the-art SSL technology to encrypt your transaction and made it as safe as possible.
    We do not collect or store your Credit Card data.
    Generally speaking paying by Credit Card on secure Internet sites is much safer than paying at the desk of any physical shop or restaurant.


    Shipping

    Are the Shipping Fees included in my Order?
    If you are a Wholesale Buyer, the Shipping Costs are NOT usually included in the ORDER Request. If they are, you can see their amount clearly printed in the lower part of the Cart and added to the total amount of the products you ordered.

    If not, after the Order confirmation, you will receive an E-Mail message with the precise amount of the Shipping Costs. So you will be able to pay the whole Order Amount (merchandise plus shipping) using one of the payment tools offered by our company (usually Credit Card or Bank Transfer).

    If you are ordering any SAMPLES and choosing our partner Express Courier(s) or the Mail Service) as delivery, the Shipping Costs are usually included and clearly printed in the lower part of the Cart and added to the total amount of the Samples. If you are Consumer the shipping cost is automatically calculated after your registration and added to your order.


    How do you ship my Order?
    When placing a Request for one or more Samples you can usually choose among different shipping options, including delivery by the Mail Service (if available).
    The Order Requests are always shipped by an international delivery service (for example: DHL, UPS, FedEx, or others), trying to get the lowest rates for a fast shipment. If time is not a key factor to you, please send us an E-Mail claiming that you are interested in a cheaper but slower delivery and we will try our best to find it.
    In any cases, you will be notified (usually 24/48 hours after your Order) about the shipping fees in order to pay the total due amount (merchandise plus shipment).

    If you have an account with DHL, UPS, FedEx or any other international delivery services you can input the account code in the Cart of your Sample or Order Request: we will ship your merchandise in a such a way.


    I have an Account with a Delivery Service: can I use it?
    Yes! Just select your favorite Delivery Service and input your Account Code in the lower part of your Cart, for both Samples or Order Reuqests.


    Can I have my Sample(s) or Order shipped to a differen address?
    Due to our anti-fraud policy, this is possible ONLY when the payment is advanced and by Bank Transfer.
