Our initial order status, ‘Processed’ does not mean that a contract of sale is in place. This only means that the order has been successfully received into our system. From there on, validity and verification must take place before the contract of sale exists. Further, we reserve the right to degrade the order status from ‘Pick in progress’ to ‘Declined’ should our order become unacceptable for any reason.

5 – Security
5.1 Your IP is logged when placing an order. This is for reasons of fraud protection. All orders are scanned strictly for fraud by our fraud department before they are shipped. If you specify a different shipping address to the billing address then your order may take longer as we have to perform the necessary checks. Fraudulent or suspicious orders may be disclosed to the appropriate authorities on their legal request.
6 – Delivery
6.1 The delivery estimate for each item is stated on the product details screen. Our delivery rate is almost always over 99.5%. Although we endeavour to strictly adhere to this delivery estimate, during extremely busy periods it may not be possible to meet these deadlines. In these cases you will be notified by email. Should this happen, you have the right to either continue with the order or cancel it.
6.2 If there are any problems with the delivery itself or the delivery timescale, we may also offer you some form of compensation for the delay. This is generally in the form of a postage refund. If the postage was free, we may offer you a gift voucher of your next purchase. Please note that it must first be confirmed with the delivery service to see if a delivery was late before any such action can be taken.
6.3 Lost deliveries. Giacomo Design use the Royal Mail and GLS for all of our deliveries for reasons of reliability and convenience. Unfortunately, as with all delivery services, there are very rare circumstances where parcels do not arrive in the agreed timescale or they are lost completely. Under these circumstances, we endeavour to ensure that the item is delivered to you as soon as possible by contacting the delivery service and attempting to locate your parcel and have it delivered. You may also contact the delivery service yourself with the tracking number supplied to you in your despatch email. In the case of lost items, we cannot refund orders or send out a replacement until the delivery is confirmed to be lost. This must be confirmed by the delivery service themselves, and the time periods at which items can be confirmed lost depends on the delivery service used, and are detailed as follows:
- Royal Mail International Delivery – 21 working days to confirm a lost parce
- GLS Standard – 10 working days to confirm a lost parcel
Please note that Giacomo Design cannot refund orders or send replacement until it has been confirmed that the parcel is actually lost. This is because in almost every case of a delayed parcel, the item will be delivered within the above timescales.
Customs: For orders placed outside of the EU customs charges may be applicable. Giacomo Design is not responsible for these charges.
6.4 In the case of a parcel being signed for and a delivery confirmation being available on the courier’s website, if the customer denies receiving the package, this is called a Denial of receipt. Under these circumstances, we must contact the Royal Mail/GLS to confirm the delivery details, who will in turn contact the customer to ask for written documentation to be completed to confirm that the parcel has not been received. These circumstances must be mediated by the delivery service and we cannot take action until it has been confirmed whether or not the parcel was received by the customer.
6.5 Most orders shipped by Giacomo Design requires a signature upon delivery. Parcels shipped on this basis cannot be left without signatures. If you miss the delivery person, a card will be left to give you instructions to either arrange a redelivery or to collect it from your local sorting office / delivery depot.
6.6 Please note that in a multiple occupation building, anyone in the building is allowed to sign the parcel to confirm its receipt. Royal Mail and GLS consider an item as delivered once a signature at the designated address is achieved. It is your responsibility to ensure that the recipient is at the delivery address, or to obtain the delivered parcel from the signatoree.
6.7 If an item is returned to us undelivered because it was not collected or received by the recipient, we offer to redespatch your order one time at extra charge. We reserve the right to charge delivery charges for subsequent deliveries. If a delivery is failed, it is the customer’s responsibility to contact the local sorting office to organise a redelivery or collection.
6.8 When receiving your order you should inspect the packaging to ensure that it has not been tampered with in any way. If it does appear to be tampered with, you should refuse delivery. If the delivery is accepted and signed for, you will have entered into a contract to accept the item in its delivered state and, as such, we cannot assume liability for any subsequent issues surrounding loss or damage.
6.9 Deliveries to EU Member states other than the UK: When you place an order on our website, these items will be supplied to you by Giacomo Design. We can also deliver these products to you at addresses in the UK or outside the EU.
