Delivery Methods
Successful purchases made on the page will be delivered only under the published conditions: Free local/warehouse pickup, Standard home delivery, and Express home delivery. Notwithstanding the above, the page administration may suspend any delivery methods at any time, leaving only the correctly operational ones available to the public according to The Page’s process or its logistic partners.
Local/warehouse pickup will be free, and the customer understands and accepts that they must pick up the product in person. The customer must wait for the administration’s contact to confirm the product pickup. Confirmation is typically within 24 hours of purchase.
Home delivery will by handled by Shipbob, our logistics operator, however, the page reserves the right to use other available distribution channels or couriers in the market. Once the purchase is confirmed, the processing time for the shipment is between 24 to 48 working hours. Tracking information will be available on the page within this period. If not available due to operational reasons or exceptions in our system, you must contact the page via email and request it. The declared shipping time considers that the logistics operator has already received the product and is calculated according to their information, releasing The Page from any responsibility for shipping delays once the operator has custody of the order. Problems with shipments should be managed directly with the operator.
The page is not responsible for incorrect, missing, or incomplete information related to the Customer. Orders will be dispatched only to the address entered in the order. If the customer makes an error in the information, they must send an email within 24 hours at most to request the change of shipping data. The only contact method will be the official email informed at the beginning of this document. If no data correction is received and the order is sent to an incorrect address or recipient, the customer will be responsible for the product’s loss and it will be considered as dispatched and delivered. The page will not refund the lost product in any case. If such a loss occurs with a transportation company, the latter will be responsible for managing the returns or insurance claims to the affected customer, releasing The Page from responsibility.
Delivery Conditions
The Page’s operation involves selling tangible items, and the delivery service is handled by third parties. When making a purchase with delivery, the customer understands that they are paying the value of the items plus an additional value for the delivery service, i.e., they are aware that the delivery service conditions, including its guarantees, will be those applicable by the transport company, which will be confirmed to the customer once the tracking information is sent. If the customer is not at the address at the time of delivery and no one is available to receive it, including concierges refusing to accept parcels, regardless of the selected delivery method, the product will be returned to the page’s premises, and it will be the customer’s responsibility to manage a new shipment, assuming its cost or the recovery of the package from the courier or the page’s premises, as applicable.
Delivery Abnormalities
CASE 1: PRODUCT SENT AND LOST BY THE TRANSPORT COMPANY (NOT RECEIVED BY THE CUSTOMER)
A maximum period of 20 business days from the product’s shipment will be allocated for it to reach the customer’s premises. If it does not arrive within this period, the shipment will be presumed lost, and the customer must file a claim with the transport company and send the claim number to the page’s official email. Only then will the page send a new order or proceed with a refund. If the customer wants a refund, they must also file a claim with the transport company.
IMPORTANT: NO NEW SHIPMENTS OR REFUNDS WILL BE MADE WHILE THE SHIPMENT IS STILL IN TRANSIT. THE TRANSPORT COMPANY’S VERDICT DECLARING THE SHIPMENT’S LOSS MUST BE OBTAINED BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH A NEW SHIPMENT OR REFUND.
CASE 2: PRODUCT SENT AND CUSTOMER DOES NOT RECEIVE/IS NOT AVAILABLE/REJECTS THE DELIVERY OR THE ADDRESS PROVIDED BY THE CUSTOMER CANNOT BE FOUND.
The Page only considers ONE shipment per order. If it is returned to the page’s warehouse due to customer responsibility or negligence at any point in the process, the new shipment will be at the customer’s cost.
CASE 3: PRODUCT SENT AND CUSTOMER DOES NOT RECEIVE, BUT THE TRANSPORT COMPANY INDICATES THAT THE DELIVERY WAS SUCCESSFUL.
A corresponding claim will be initiated with the transport company, and the claim resolution must be awaited. If the courier indicates that the package was delivered to the correct person at the correct place, the customer must demonstrate that they have not received the order. Otherwise, it will be considered delivered correctly. In any case, the transport company will be responsible for clarifying the incident with the customer. The page will not be responsible for the logistics operation of a third party, and compensations to the customer must come from the transport company’s committed insurance, if applicable.
Changes and Refunds
All products on the page are guaranteed, considering that if the customer receives a defective product, it will be exchanged or refunded. However, it is stipulated in this clause that the page does NOT adhere to the consumer law’s right of withdrawal.
