Shipping and Packaging

The conditions of these regulations are preliminary to the use of the " Online Purchases " service on our site.

Shipping Furniture, Furnishing Accessories, Art

First of all, it is useful to clarify that shipping Antiques, Modern Design and Art objects or furnishings requires a series of slow and delicate operations. That's why in some cases, delivery may not be timely.
The costs necessary for the shipment of the goods are calculated on the actual size of the objects and their destination and on the complexity of the packaging.
We use the main couriers on the market (such as FedEx , BRT , DHL and SDA ), trusted shippers or we deliver personally.
Delivery - unless otherwise agreed - is intended outside the home by truck (ie, as per the contract, the courier is not required to unload the goods); any deliveries with tail lift (to bring the object to road height) will be agreed upon during the purchase with our customer assistance.
Generally, except where explicitly stated, shipping costs are free !
However, you can check whether or not the shipping costs are indicated in the product catalogue, while the rest of the services can be viewed during the purchase confirmation phase.

The carrier will arrange the delivery directly with the customer by telephone.
Our shipments always include packaging which is carried out in any case.
Shipments are made only after payment has been registered.
(In case of bank transfer it takes four/five working days).
The time necessary for a payment to be credited is not attributable to the delay in shipment.
Once the payment operations for the product itself and for the ancillary services, if foreseen and agreed, have been carried out, we undertake to deliver the packaged product to the carrier as quickly as possible.
We do our best to ensure that the products arrive in the best conditions but we cannot be held responsible for any damage deriving from any delay during transport.
We ask the customer to indicate a delivery address where someone is always present (including a workplace, a neighbor, etc.), and a telephone number where it is always available. In case of non-delivery, the courier may contact you or leave a ticket with the instructions to follow.
For any problem encountered with the shipment, please contact our customer service.

PACKAGING METHODS


Given the material handled, the Di Mano in Mano staff pay particular attention to the packaging methodologies .

The operation will conclude with labeling and transport documentation.

If at the time of unloading the goods, at your shipping address, you notice that there is damage to the packaging, we advise you, in the presence of the carrier, to take photos of the packaging before proceeding with opening it to check if the products inside were also damaged.
In the event of damage to the products but not to the packaging, in order to better assess the extent of the damage, it is necessary to take photographs of the packaging and the goods themselves and send these photos to customercare@dimanoinmano.com
The methods we use are as follows:
1. vector shipping : reimburses 1 euro per kg as per law 450 on transport.
Included in the packing and shipping costs indicated, a refund of 1 euro per kg is calculated in the event of damage, as required by law 450 on vector transport.
2. optional insured shipping : refund the entire amount paid for the item.
If desired, it is possible to insure the shipment on the value of the goods. In case of damage, the total amount paid to us for the purchase will be refunded. It is a recommended mode in cases of expensive objects . In this case, the damaged goods must necessarily be returned.

If a damaged item is delivered, the customer must necessarily sign the waybill presented by the courier with reserve. Otherwise it will not be possible to make a claim for damages.
It is the buyer's full right to check the goods before picking them up .
If the courier does not allow these operations, he commits a serious fault, our advice in this case is to sign with reserve, specifying that you have been prevented from carrying out checks.
