Transport risks are borne by "I Grandi Maestri del Design", but it is the client responsibility to verify the integrity of the packaging: in case of packaging damage, the customer may request the courier - only in this case - to open the packaging in his presence: if the courier refuses to wait for your verification, it is necessary to write on the transport document "it is accepted subject to control as the package appears ..". For fragile products we recommend always accepting "subject to verification" even if everything seems to be in place. Only by placing this reserve, can be activated the insurance coverage. In the event of damaged goods, the customer is required to notify us within 24 hours of receipt of the goods, attaching photos of the damage.
The return of the damaged goods can only be carried out in it’s original packaging which must therefore be kept until verified.
