Another notice, but an important one
Giuseppe de Caria does not offer refunds or returns, and here's why: The formulations are hand-blended and bottled-to-order. And as independent brand that's self-funded, I've heavily invested in the development and in the quality of my products, procuring high-grade raw ingredients and materials, and since everything is produced in house everything is priced for long-term sustainability of my company, for the artists, photographers, partners that I collaborate with on projects, and for the retailers that showcase my products. So that we can all remain in business for a very long time. That said, feel welcome to reach out with any questions about a product before making a purchase via email at gdc@giuseppedecaria.com.

The formal policy begins below

Refunds and Exchanges
Last updated: Feb 25, 2024

All products are final sale with the exception(s) of the following policy: If you have a problem with your order or would like assistance in initiating the refund process, please contact me at gdc@giuseppedecaria.com

I do offer a refund or replacement only if the product is deemed defective or damaged by yours truly, Giuseppe de Caria. I will notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund via email.

If you are approved, then your refund will be processed, and a credit will automatically be applied to your credit card or original method of payment within several business days

Defective/Damaged Products
Refunds for defective/damaged products are eligible for up to 14 calendar days from the day you receive your order and will be confirmed by your tracking number. We require your order number, details, and photos of the product in question.

Defects or damage resulting from accidents, neglect, or misuse are not covered by our Refund Policy.

Late or Missing Refunds
Refunds can take up to 10 business days to process. If you have not received a refund after 10 business days, please check your bank account again or contact your credit card company as it may take some time before your refund is officially posted.

Missing Product
If you are missing an item from your order, please provide details of the item in question along with an image of the invoice. We require the invoice from your order to validate what was sent in your parcel. Once confirmed by Giuseppe de Caria, a refund for the missing product will be processed.
