​NIf the Customer finds any damage to the packaging or wrapping at the time of delivery by the carrier/freight forwarder, they shall immediately report the fact by affixing a "reservation" on the delivery receipt, since they are otherwise precluded from any subsequent exception regarding the external characteristics of the goods delivered.
​A similar reservation shall be made every time the Customer wishes to reserve the right to analyse the product delivered by the carrier/freight forwarder in greater detail, as the Customer is likewise precluded from making subsequent claims if a more detailed examination of the goods delivered reveals that they are damaged due to an act or fact attributable to the carrier/freight forwarder.
8. Right of withdrawal - Information

​For purchases made with cash on delivery, Biella Scarpe spa shall proceed with the refund by bank transfer.
​The actual time for the re-credit or refund of the amounts depends on the payment method used.
​The refund may be suspended until Biella Scarpe spa has received the Products or until the Customer has demonstrated that he/she has returned the goods, according to which situation occurs first.
