The notice must be sent to the following address:

In the case of return of goods from non-European countries, the goods must be sent to the address previously indicated by post or courier according to your preferences. We recommend a standard shipping service with tracking and insured as the sender will be responsible for any damage, non-delivery, delays.
The shipping costs for returning the product and any other related amount such as local taxes, customs duties, import and/or customs clearance for the goods are charged to the Customer and will eventually be deducted from the final refund.
Before making the return inquire with your authorities if there is the possibility of reimbursement of taxes and VAT paid.
When filling in the customs declaration forms (CN22 and / or CN23) it is necessary to indicate "Returned goods - Failed sale" and attach them to the outside of the package.
In the event that customs duties/charges will be found, the parcel will NOT be accepted and will be rejected (blocked at customs or sent back with any further expenses always borne by the sender).
Alternatively, if accepted by our staff, the additional costs incurred will be deducted from the refund amount.
In the event that the returned products are damaged (even slightly), show clear signs of wear (even slightly), lack the original case / protections / labels / accessories / documentation / other contents, such that their commercial value is decreased, Ottica Lucciola reserves the right to retain an amount equal to the decrease in value of the products. This assessment is done when the items are returned.
We recommend that you take all necessary precautions to ensure the protection of the products. Any product that Ottica Lucciola considers damaged or incomplete will not be refunded.
In the event that you decide to employ a courier of your choice to return the order, the package containing the return is under your responsibility until it reaches the offices of Ottica Lucciola. Ottica Lucciola is not responsible of any loss, damage due to poor packaging or delays in the delivery of the return.
Ottica Lucciola will provide for the refund of the amount paid by the Customer, within 14 (fourteen) days of the date in which the returned products will be received.
In the event that the order was paid by cash on delivery, the amount will not be refunded.
Customized and Graduated Products
The right of withdrawal referenced by Articles 52 to 58 for distance contracts and contracts negotiated outside business premises is excluded in relation to the supply of custom-made items; by way of example and not limited to, products on which the initials of the customer are engraved and graduated glasses made on the basis of specific indications provided by the customer, fall into this category.

Ottica Lucciola will refund the amount paid by the customer with the same method of payment used by the customer for the purchase, within and no later than 14 (fourteen) days from the reception of the returned products.
Ottica Lucciola will accept to process the substitution after the assessment of the availability of the Products required for the substitution.
