Returns and refunds

HOW TO PROCEED WITH THE RETURN OF AN INTACT PRODUCT AND RECEIVE A REFUND:

SIMONE GIOVANNI CENEDESE MURANO s.a.s. considers the full satisfaction of its customers as highly important. If a client happens to have changed their mind regarding a received product, it is possible to return it for a choice between a complete refund, store credit or exchange. The buyer can request to return the item within 14 business days from the date of receipt of the product; this request must be explicit, and can be made by any mode of communication (including, but not limited to, fax, email, post or registered mail). All products must be returned intact (with no signs of wear, abrasions, chips, scratches, distortions etc.) complete with all components and accessories, accompanied by instructions/warranties/notes/coupons and in original packaging and wrapping. If any of these elements are absent, the customer is no longer entitled to the requested refund, credit or exchange. Such conditions also subsist in the case of order error or production defect of the item. Please remember that insubstiantial variations in shape, size, colour compared to the catalogue photograph are not production defects but are typical of the handcrafted production of authentic Murano glass. Indeed, each creation is specially made for a single customer, unique and unrepeatable.
