Miacontessa Shipping & Returns Policy:
Your Guide to Delivery & Satisfaction
At Miacontessa, we are dedicated to delivering an unparalleled experience, from the meticulous craftsmanship of our luxury handbags to their safe and secure arrival at your esteemed address. This comprehensive Miacontessa Shipping and Returns Policy meticulously outlines our procedures for shipping, returns, and exchanges to ensure transparency and your utmost satisfaction, reflecting our commitment to service excellence.
1. Shipping
1.1. Global Reach:
Miacontessa proudly offers worldwide shipping, extending the reach of our exquisite collections across continents, ensuring your ethical Italian luxury handbag can reach you no matter where you are.
1.2. Shipping Costs & Delivery Times:
Shipping costs are calculated based on your selected destination and preferred service level, and will be transparently displayed at the point of checkout. Estimated delivery times will also be provided at checkout.
Please note that these are projections and may vary due to several factors, including:
- Inventory Availability: High demand for certain exclusive designs may impact immediate dispatch.
- Global Logistical Variables: Unforeseen global logistical challenges, peak seasons, or carrier network fluctuations.
- Customs Processing: Delays due to customs procedures in the destination country.
- Carrier Delays: Factors specific to the shipping carrier that are beyond our direct control.
We strive to minimize delays and keep you informed throughout the shipping process.
1.3. Packaging & Insurance:
Each Miacontessa handbag is meticulously packaged in premium materials to safeguard its integrity and presentation during transit.
All shipments are fully insured for their declared value, ensuring comprehensive protection until successful delivery to your address, consistent with the standards outlined in the Miacontessa Shipping and Returns Policy.
1.4. Tracking Information:
Upon dispatch of your order, a shipping confirmation email will be issued to your registered email address, containing a unique tracking number. This enables you to conveniently monitor the real-time progress of your Miacontessa shipment.
1.5. International Duties & Taxes:
For all international orders, please be advised that your shipment may be subject to import duties, customs tariffs, value-added taxes (VAT), and other fees (collectively, “Import Charges”) levied by the destination country’s customs authorities.
These Import Charges are the sole responsibility of the customer and are not included in the product price or original shipping cost. We strongly recommend that international customers contact their local customs office for specific information regarding potential Import Charges prior to placing an order, as Miacontessa is unable to provide estimates or cover these costs.
Failure to pay applicable Import Charges may result in the non-delivery or return of your order, for which Miacontessa shall not be liable, and no refund will be provided in such circumstances. For a general understanding of international customs regulations, you may find resources like the World Customs Organization helpful.
