Useful tips and information before placing an order
1. Check that you have correctly entered the data of the shipment (street, square, alley etc. and house number).
2. Specify in the notes if a surname other than yours appears on the doorbell.
3. Specify in the notes if the delivery must be made in the workplace, by inserting the company or office name, with any opening hours.
4. The courier delivers from Monday to Friday approximately from 9:00 to 19:00. In case the customer has preferred time slots for delivery (morning or afternoon), please let us know on the notes when placing your order. The courier will do his best to deliver at the times indicated. We cannot make appointments for delivery not even with an additional cost.
5. If you know that you are not at home or will be there for a short amount of time, we advise you to put your place of work, the home of your parents, a relative, or the address of a friend, a trusted store near the house, or choose the closest deposit stop close to your house, where you can go to collect the package.
6. The Courier must deliver to a person and cannot leave packages unattended in the door, in front of the gate of the house, etc. not even at the specific request of the customer.
7. In case of the absence of the customer, the courier will attempt a new delivery, leaving both times notice of passage.
8. The Courier does not deliver by appointment. The telephone number requested when ordering the customer is used by the Courier in case they do not find your address or for communications of extreme urgency and importance. The driver does not call before passing to find out if the recipient is at home or what time they have to pass.
9. In the tracking number that RIVA MARE Srl sends to the Customer upon departure of the goods, the progress of the shipment is indicated: it is possible to know the day of delivery, but not the time. Each driver has hundreds of deliveries and collections per day to make and one predefined ride, prepared by the branch to optimize distances and times.
10. Any deliveries to a floor are to be specified to RIVA MARE Srl at the moment of the order, an additional service involving an additional cost.
11. In case of packages that come into storage due to wrong address provided by the customer or important missing data, which preclude the driver from the possibility of delivery (lack of the name on the intercom/bell, lack of the house number on the building, etc.) and that are not reported and specified in the notes at the time of the order, the customer is required to pay RIVA MARE Srl the storage/redelivery costs that the Courier charges to itself.
ATTENTION!!! VERY IMPORTANT: GLS (General Logistics Systems Italy SpA), in case of the absence of the Customer twice and after two warnings, he will automatically put the package in inventory, charging RIVA MARE Srl the additional cost of 6 euros + VAT (from 1 to 10 days of stock), waiting to agree on a new delivery (with an additional cost of 8 euros + VAT). Therefore, if the customer is absent twice at the address provided, he will be held obligatorily to pay the costs of storage and return (14 euros + VAT). In case the customer refuses to pay these costs, the package will be returned by the Courier to RIVA MARE Srl, which will refund the customer for the goods ordered, but withholding all costs related to shipping, storage and return.
