For these reasons, telephone contact will take place only at the discretion of the driver who will physically take care of the delivery.

We also specify that in the standard service it is impossible to indicate any preferred delivery times, but it is however possible for us to use additional services on specific request such as priority delivery, to the floor or by appointment. Simply contact us at the e-mail address: [email protected] to request a quote on the additional shipping costs, that apply to this type of service.
