If we expect a longer delay, we will notify you by email.

4. Carriers and tracking
We ship with [BRT / GLS / Poste Italiane / DHL / UPS]. Once your order has been shipped, you will receive a confirmation email with a tracking number and a link to follow your parcel. Tracking information may take up to 24–48 hours to update after shipment.

5. Customs, duties and taxes
Orders within the European Union: prices include VAT. There are no customs duties.
Orders to the United Kingdom, Switzerland and other non-EU countries: your order may be subject to import duties, taxes and customs fees charged by the destination country. [These charges are not included in the price and are payable by the customer upon delivery.] / [These charges are calculated and collected at checkout, so you will not pay anything extra upon delivery.]
Orders to the United States: [orders are currently shipped duty-free / any duties or fees are calculated at checkout / any duties or fees are payable by the customer upon delivery].
We have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount. If you refuse a parcel because of customs charges, the return shipping costs and any charges incurred will be deducted from your refund.
6. Shipping address
Please check that your shipping address is correct and complete before confirming your order. If you notice an error, contact us as soon as possible, and in any case before your order is shipped, at info@aureacosmetic.it. Once the parcel has been shipped, we cannot change the address.
We are not responsible for orders delivered to an incorrect address provided by the customer. If a parcel is returned to us because of an incorrect address or a missed collection, we can reship it once you have paid the new shipping costs, or refund you the price of the products, minus the original shipping costs.
7. Failed delivery
If the carrier cannot deliver your parcel, it will usually leave a notice or contact you to arrange a second delivery or a pickup at a nearby location. If the parcel is not collected within the time set by the carrier, it will be returned to us, and Section 6 applies.
8. Lost, damaged or incorrect parcels
