Claim & Return policy
Modifying an order
It is unfortunately not possible to modify an order on our store. If you changed your mind or made a mistake, the best way to solve the issue is to cancel your current order and, if you wish, make a new one including your favorite products.
See paragraph below for details.
Cancelling an order
It is possible to cancel an order as long as it has not shipped yet, although we strongly recommend cancelling within 2 hours after placing the initial order, mostly to avoid any trouble with the logistic.
To cancel your order, simply get in touch with us through our contact form.
From there, select the "Cancel an order" topic as well as entering your order ID in the "Order number" field, so that we can catch your message as soon as possible.
Once we get your message, we will proceed directly to cancelling your order and initiate a full refund of the total amount, directly on the bank account linked to the credit card used for the payment.
Please note that it may take up to 2 to 5 days for a refund to be confirmed on your bank account.
If you wish to place a new order quickly without having to spend more money before your refund is confirmed, we can provide you a store voucher of the same value instead of a bank refund: In that case, just let us know your choice in your initial message and we will provide you with a voucher code equalling the amount of the cancelled order, to be used during the checkout process for your new order.
Returning an item
As a general rule, it is very important that upon receiving an order to carefully check it up and make sure that every products you ordered have been included to the package.

Please note that for any missing item of your order, we can only offer a voucher of the missing product's amount.
Regarding any exchange/refund request, we will arrange a pick up of the item with our logistic partner at no extra cost for you, under the condition that the product is being shipped in its original packaging.
After receiving and reviewing the product for approval, we will proceed to an exchange or a refund at your convenience.
For your information it may take up to 6-8 days in case of an item replacement from the moment of your request to actually receiving a new product, and 6 to 10 days for a refund to be confirmed on your bank account depending on the bank handling the request.
