SHIPPING AND RETURNS

SHIPPING

Your package will be processed using the selected shipping method, typically within 1-2 business days of payment receipt and are shipped cia an uninsured express courier service with tracking.

If you prefer insured delivery, the cost will be 1% of the purchase value.

In case you prefer delivery with your own courier, please indicate your account number for GLS and DHL, or wait for packaging details if using other carriers, please contact us before selecting this option. Shippin fees include handling and packaging charges. Trasport costs vary based on the actual or volumetric weght of the purchased items.

Please purchase the required items into one order. It’s not always possible for us to group two or more different orders, therefore shipping costs will be charged to each of them. Your package will be sent at your own risk, though special care is taken when packaging fragile items. Shipment insurance is available upon request.

Packages and boxes are adequately sized for protecting the purchased items.

Please note! Gemmarum will send the purchased products/instruments to the delivery address provided by the buyer at the time of purchase. In case of wrong delivery address or absence of people, delivery and trasport costs will be borne by the buyer. If the goods are returned to the seller's warehouses for the above reasons, the item can either be re-shipped at the customer's expense, or the amount paid will be refunded, less any expenses incurred by the seller.
