Return Policy

Your trust is our priority.

We strongly believe in the value of full customer satisfaction; therefore, if your purchase does not meet your expectations, we offer you the possibility to make a return within thirty (30) days from the receipt of the order.

It is important to emphasize that ophthalmic lenses* and solar filters* - customized according to specific needs - are excluded from the possibility of return and refund due to their bespoke nature.

To ensure a smooth refund process, please make sure the product meets the following criteria:

• Intact and unused, complete with all its components, including accessories, and without any signs of use or damage. The security seal must remain intact.
• Returned in its original packaging.
• Shipped back within 10 days from our approval of the return.

If the return meets all the above criteria, we will proceed with the refund.

Otherwise, the return cannot be accepted.

*In accordance with Article 55, paragraph 2, letter c), of the Consumer Code, the right of withdrawal (provided by Legislative Decree 206/2005), cancellation, or return is excluded in the case of orders for customized products.

Refund Methods and Timing

If you return products in accordance with our return policy, you will receive a confirmation email and the refund will be credited to you within approximately six (6) business days from the return.

The refund will be credited back to the same credit card or PayPal account used to pay for the original purchase within one or two billing cycles from the return date, depending on the refund policy of the credit card used.

Additional PayPal fees and shipping costs will not be refunded.

Please note that:

• Used, damaged items or items without a seal cannot be returned or refunded.
• You may ship with a courier of your choice, but the company cannot be held responsible in case of damage or loss of the package.

 Return an item

If the product value is less than €18 or you purchased as a guest, send your return request to sales@otticaocchiblu.com, indicating the order number and the name and code of the items you want to return. Our Customer Service will contact you within 48 business hours.

 

Defective or Damaged Product

If the product received is defective or damaged, please kindly contact us by email attaching photos of the defect or damage. We will compare them with the images taken of the product before shipment.

If it is confirmed that the product left our store defective, the procedure will be as follows:
we will ask you to open a return request anyway and, once confirmed, you will not have to bear any shipping costs (€18 for Italy and €30 for the rest of the world).
We will provide you with the waybill for the return of the product to the store.

The refund will be made only after receiving and verifying the product at our store and will also include any shipping costs incurred, if present in the initial order.

Please note that customs fees are not refundable, as they are paid to customs authorities and not to us. Since they are not part of the payment we receive, we cannot manage their refund. For any requests, you will need to contact the relevant customs authority directly and open a refund claim (for example, HMRC for the United Kingdom or CBP for the United States).
