What do I have to do when the carrier delivers the goods?


When the courier makes the delivery you should check: 1) That the packaging is intact and has not been tampered with, and complies with the standard features of a package; 2) That the number of parcels (packages) indicated on the invoice corresponds to the number actually delivered; N.B.: Any complaints must be made immediately to the courier, otherwise we are obliged to consider the goods as correctly delivered. You should retain the invoice, which you will find in the special pocket on the outside of the package. If the package proves to be damaged or have been tampered with, remember to write on the courier’s delivery note “accepted conditionally, subject to checking the condition of the contents”. Without this wording we cannot under any circumstances accept complaints for damaged material.

Please keep the billing receipt.

What should I do if on delivery of the goods the packaging is open or damaged?


At the time of delivery the customer is entitled to open the package to check that the product corresponds to that which was ordered, and that there is no apparent damage or anomaly. Should the product not correspond to that which was ordered, or in the case of evident damage, we recommend that you do not accept the delivery, returning it to the courier who will proceed to return it to us. In both cases you should contact us immediately to boutique@laviadelte.it .
