Introduction
At Italy Cannabis Shop, we prioritize transparency, security, and customer satisfaction. While we strive to ensure every order reaches you safely and on time, we understand that unforeseen circumstances may arise. To protect both our customers and our business, we have implemented a mandatory risk-handling refundable insurance fee of €165 for all insured orders.
This policy outlines the conditions under which refunds are issued, the role of insurance, and the steps you must follow to request a refund. We encourage you to read this policy carefully before placing an order.
1. Eligibility for Refunds
Refunds are only issued under the following conditions:
1.1 Insured Orders
- All orders must be insured at the time of dispatch to qualify for a refund.
- The €165 insurance fee is mandatory and refundable on arrival of client’s package or in case order is lost, damaged, or seized by authorities.
- Orders will NOT be shipped without insurance and are not eligible for refunds under any circumstances.
Note: The insurance fee covers risks associated with transit, including loss, theft, or seizure. Without this coverage, we cannot process refunds for such incidents.
1.2 Valid Refund Scenarios
Refunds may be issued in the following cases:
- Order Lost in Transit: If the order is confirmed lost by the courier and cannot be recovered.
- Order Damaged Upon Delivery: If the package arrives damaged, and the contents are unusable.
- Order Seized by Authorities: If the order is confiscated by customs or law enforcement, provided the seizure is confirmed by the courier or relevant authority.
- Incorrect or Defective Product: If the product received does not match the description or is defective (subject to verification).
Important: Refunds are not issued for:
- Orders shipped without insurance.
- Delays in delivery (unless caused by our negligence).
- Orders that arrive intact but are later deemed unsatisfactory by the customer.
- Orders that are returned by the customer without prior authorization.
2. The Mandatory Insurance Fee
2.1 Purpose of the Fee
The €165 insurance fee is a temporary refundable charge applied to all orders to cover:
- Risk of loss or damage during transit.
- Customs seizures (where applicable).
- Discreet handling (to avoid package content dictated or risk seizures).
- Courier verification in case of disputes.
Why is this fee mandatory?
Cannabis products are subject to strict regulations in Italy and the EU. Without insurance, we cannot guarantee the safe delivery of your order. The fee ensures that we can process refunds efficiently in the event of an incident.
2.2 When is the Fee Applied?
- The €165 fee is added to your order before dispatch.
- It is not part of the product price but is a separate charge for insurance coverage (refundable on delivery).
- If your order qualifies for a refund, the €165 fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
2.3 Is the Fee Refundable?
- The €165 fee is post-delivery refundable on the arrival or package or order is lost, damaged, or seized.
