I would also like to take this opportunity to inform you of some updates regarding the shipping of your orders and amendments introduced by the shipping company. As you are already aware we currently use the Italian postal service to ship all of our orders, to the UK and the rest of the world. We have always preferred this postal system as they continuously deliver a great value package with a high level of service. As we have close working relationship with Poste Italiane we have negotiated some new tariffs which will ultimately be of benefit to our clients. This is due to their removal of the ‘QuickPack’ delivery option with immediate effect.

In its place we will be able to offer a service which provides the following improved benefits:

• Guaranteed 3-5 working day delivery (as opposed the current 5-7 working days)
  
• 3 individually priced weight bands (as opposed to the current 2). This will mean we can provide a competitively priced shipping fee better tailored to your individual orders.
  
• All deliveries to be comprehensively insured during transit for additional peace of mind. Paid for by Cardi-Italia at no additional cost to you.
  
• All deliveries to be handled by a courier company, either DHL, UPS or FedEx, and not reliant on the UK postal service.

As always we constantly monitor and review the delivery company we use and will continue to do so in the future to ensure we are always offering you, our clients, the best solution for price and quality of service.

If you have any questions regarding any of this information, please don’t hesitate to contact us as we will be happy to answer any queries you may have.
