Custom made of string sets
The calculation of string sets non included in our standard range of products can cause an extra charge, depending on required modifications and higher production costs.
Estimates of freight charges
It is not possible to calculate freight charges in advance, since they depend
on several factors like:
- type of freight (priority, insured, carrier)
- parcel weight (can only be determined after packing)
- addressee’s geographical position
Delivery Priority mail: fairly quick and above all cheap. Parcels cannot be traced back, though. We only use it for orders up to 70 euros. No charge on the customer should deliver fail or the parcel get lost (provided the addressee has given us a correct address and was not absent at the time of delivery).
Registered mail: slower and only apparently more sure. Notice: parcel code numbers are only valid within Italian territory. Failed delivery: the customer will take charge of expenses originating from being absent, leaving goods unclaimed or providing a wrong address.
No charges to the customers for lost goods (as long as the correct address was provided in the first place).
Carrier: quick, sure and reliable. It is a bit more expensive than registered mail, but delivery is sure and quick (1-2 days). We use it as a rule for all orders from 70 euros up. Failed delivery: the customer will take charge of expenses originating from
being absent, leaving goods unclaimed or providing a wrong address.
Breaking down the bulk of a substantial order into smaller parcels implies an extra charge of 2.50 euros for each extra invoice to be attached to each parcel. Notice: we are not responsible for inefficient mail service or failed delivery due to addressee’s absence or providing a wrong address.
Please bear in mind that delays are often caused by Customs practices in the customer’s country. VAT
VAT is not part of our income, we only collect it for our revenue system: please always pay the ivoice amount including VAT.
Withing the EU the Italian VAT is always 20%. Customers possessing a VAT registration number should please provide it at the time of placing an order. We shall not alter the amount of invoices already issued if the VAT number is provided after the goods have already been dispatched.
