★ Shipping

Personal Ship or Italian Ship: which I choose?
You can choose if receive the package directly from abroad (advisable for who is used to buy worldwide) or receive the items from Italy through Italian postal service (Italian Ship): in this case, you have to pay the additional fees of the shipping from Italy: this shipping has a tracking code and can be insured.
Personal Ship will send you the package directly from abroad.
Pros and cons:
• Personal Ship: you can save money on the European shipping, but the package could be subject to customs fee and/or delays due to customs checks. We do all our best to avoid customs fees, but only through the Italian Ship we can assure to looking after possible delays, issues or taxes.
• Italian Ship: You have to pay an additional fee for the international shipping but you will be sure that your items will always arrive at their destination, with no delays or customs fee. You don't need to be worried about the package status, the items quantity and so on.

If you choose Italian Ship, we always try to combine shippings from abroad with the ones of other customers who order in the same period and from the same country or shop. So, the basic fee for each shipping can be subdivided among customers.

★ My package is still not arrived at my home! What have I to do?
First, don't worry. Usually shippings arrives late when customs inspects for the package. In some countries this procedure can take up to one month.
Please check the tracking code we sent you together to the shipping confirmation. If the last status of the package is something about customs (for example: "Arrived at customs office", "Shown to the customs inspector") and this status remains the same for more than 5 days, ask to us the documentation: you should send it to the customs office of your country.
For any help, please contact us.

★ I would like to insure my parcel, could I know more about this?
Customers can request the insurance of their parcels in the order form. In this case, we declare the total value (or the value you request) on the package and you will have to pay the corrisponding customs duty for that value. EU contries only don't pay any duty on packages which come from Italy.
If the package will be lost, we will refund the declared value.

Shipping from Ebay and online shops that don't need a foreign correspondent: how does it work?
For Ebay I choose treaceable shipping method only as default.
Above mentioned shops have a their own shipping rate list which provides at least one traceable method. I ship by this as default, but you can request a different shipping method available for that online shop.
