The Client goes over the goods through the pictures on the website Imballoinlegno.it, that are for general reference only. The client indicates on-line: the features of the goods he/she intends to purchase, the invoice data, the shipment address, the delivery and payment methods.

Before the order will be finalized, the Client will receive a summary of the aforementioned data for his/her review and confirmation, in particular the itemized cost of the goods in the order, the total cost in the event of an order of more than one item, and the relative shipping costs.

The Vendor, when receiving the order from the Client, will send an email of confirmation of receipt of the order, together with the display of a printable webpage of confirmation and overview of the order, with the data of the Client and of the order, the goods, the features, the delivery time, the place of delivery indicated by the Client and the desired method of shipment.

6. Prices

All prices shown must be considered VAT excluded and CONAI contributions included, when applicable.

The shipping costs are not included in the purchase price but are indicated and calculated when the order is confirmed, which is however before payment is made.

The Vendor has the right to change the prices published on this website at any time and the Client will consider valid those issued on the first email summary the Vendor sent , after receiving the order.

The new published prices cancel and replace the old ones and are relative to the availability of the goods.

7. Payment methods

The Client has the possibility to pay  by Bank tranfer, PayPal, credit card, Bitcoin cash at the Vendor's headquarters for amount of maximum €499,99.

The Vendor can apply a discount or surcharge depending on the payment methods chosen.

The manufacturing of the order and the subsequent shipment will only begin upon receipt of payment. The payment will be considered as a deposit until delivery, and after delivery as the balance.

8. Shipping & Delivery

The shipping costs are calculated automatically and are based on the dimensions/weight of the goods, the address to which the goods are to be delivered (in Italy the correct province is necessary) and the value of the goods ordered. These costs will be indicated on the website before you confirm your order. It is essential that the customer indicate the full, exact and correct address (including province, when applicable) for delivery. Should the address not be correct and additional costs be incurred as a result, Imballoinlegno.it will consider the customer to be have full and sole responsibility for these extra costs.

The shipping costs are calculated using a semi-deterministic algorithm, to optimize the combination of various goods in the same parcel. It is possible that different costs may be calculated for the same order if done at different times.

The shipping costs include operational costs. We cannot combine different orders in a single shipment. Each order will have its own separate shipping cost.

Delivery is guaranteed only to the street-level front-door of the address, and the delivery point must be easily accessible for the courier/delivery service. The delivery service will usually call shortly before delivery is made. For orders shipped on pallets with a weight of 50 kg or more we always ask the delivery service to use a truck with a hydraulic tail-lift.

If you require additional porterage services upon delivery, these must be requested in advance, and when available, the relative costs will be quoted and invoiced separately, and are never included in the total order amount.

Shipping costs are based on the dimensions and weight of the purchased products, and therefore the proportion of shipping costs to the cost of the goods ordered changes with each order.

For orders to be delivered to the Venice Lagoon or to small islands (other than Sardinia and Sicily) there will be a shipping surcharge. Once the order is placed we will request a quote from the transportation company and inform the customer by phone of the additional charge. If the customer chooses to not accept this charge he/she is free to cancel the order without penalty.

All orders can be picked up directly at the headquarters of the vendor at no additional charge. Headquarters are located at

Nardi & Banti Imballaggi srl

In the event of multiple purchases made by the Client with a single order and delivered separately, the fourteen days shall began with the final delivery.

If the conditions lead to forfeiture of the right of withdrawal, the goods will be returned to the Client without reimbursement.

12. Exceptions to the right of withdrawal

The right of withdrawal is not valid or pertinent to orders of products with custom-ordered sizes or personalization. For example, this is the case should the Client orders a product with customized dimensions.

13. Exceptions to the right of return

For orders of products with custom-ordered sizes or personalization (i.e. printing), we will accept return of goods only if there are substantial discrepancies between the goods ordered and the goods delivered, and for the purposes of this contract, discrepancies are to be considered differences between the dimensions ordered and those delivered.

14. Loyalty program

When customers buy products on the imballoinlegno.it website, the loyalty program allows them to earn credits called “reward points” that accumulate and can be converted to coupons for future orders on the same site.

A credit, in the form of reward points, will be awarded for each purchase, with 1 point awarded for every €5.00 of purchases.

Each point can be converted into a credit of €0.20.

Only the net amount of each purchase will be calculated in awarding points, after discounts are deducted and before shipping costs are added.

Points will be awarded after the order has been confirmed, shipped and concluded (when the order status is listed as “Delivered and complete”).

Reward points can be converted, at any time, in coupons (vouchers) that can be used for future purchases and can be consulted on the “voucher page” of the “my account” section of the website.

Clients must have their own personal account to which the reward points will be accredited.

In the “my account” section Clients can find updates on their points, balance, a detailed list of recent account activity and coupons earned by the accumulated points. The reward points are only valid towards discounts on future purchases and have no monetary value.

Coupons earned through converted points in the loyalty program expire after 12 months and can be used only on orders of at least €19.00 net of VAT and shipping costs.

Coupons will be activated after about 8 hours from when they are issued.

The reward points will be considered null and void when a Client cancels his/her account or order (order status: “canceled”).

The Vendor reserves the right to suspend the loyalty program totally or partially and/or change the rules at any time regarding both the earning of points and the value of the points already earned , with or without prior notice.
