It is possible to return all articles on sale, with the exception of customised articles, in order to obtain an exchange or a refund.

If you are a "registered User," it will be possible to request a return from your personal account.

If you do not have an account, however, it will be possible to make a return by clicking on "Request a Return," which is present on all pages at the bottom of the page.

Once the return has been approved by Royal Trading S.r.l., you will receive an email with all the necessary information for returning the product.

Refunds will be managed once the return which you have sent has been received and accepted. We inform our customers that in case of return of the order, the costs of customs charges and other taxes related to the return shipment will be deducted from the refund. In case of exchange, these costs will be covered by Royal Trading.

For orders paid by credit card or PayPal, the payment will be cancelled and re-credited to your current account at your bank.

If the order was paid on delivery, it will be necessary for you to communicate your bank details to us to enable the transfer of the amount to be repaid.

The timing for any reimbursements can vary from bank to bank, so they are not dependent on the activity of Royal Trading S.r.l.(generally the re-crediting takes place within 7 days of receipt of return).

- Use (even partial) of the goods and any consumables;

- Lack of external packaging and/or original interior packaging;

- Absence of product components (accessories);
