For shipping in Extra EU Countries, any possible pay customs duties are fees to be paid by the client/consignee.
The Return Policy is not guaranteed for shipments outside the EU, each case is evaluated.
Once your order has been dispatched you will receive an email with a link and tracking number so that you can track your package.
From this moment onwards, the client is responsible for ensuring that delivery is progressing correctly and must prepare to accept delivery from the courier. Our couriers – SDA, DHL and TNT– will make a maximum of two delivery attempts, after which the delivery will be classed as “stored material”. Gommalacca reserves the right to debit further charges to the client, except in special circumstances.
We ask that you take maximum care in ensuring all delivery address details are correct when confirming the order, and that you guarantee that you – or somebody else – are present on the delivery day (this can be monitored using the tracking number provided by Gommalacca via email as soon as the item goes out for delivery).
On delivery of your order you are kindly requested to check the package with care before signing for it. Gommalacca pays great attention and care to protective packaging. If for any reason the condition of the package is unsatisfactory we kindly ask you to accept the shipment ‘with reserve’.
