Import Duty and VAT for Deliveries outside of the EU
Goods that are despatched to countries outside of the EU may have an import duty and/or taxes levied on them when they reach your country. Whether charges are payable depends on the value of the package and where you are having it delivered to. Family Nation has no control over these charges and cannot predict what they might be as customs duties vary widely across countries. You should contact your local customs office for further information. If there are any additional charges for customs clearance, they must be borne by you. If you have any concerns, you may also contact us at info@family-nation.com.
Shipping Address - your own, work or a friend's
You can ship your purchase to your own address, to your work address, or to a friend or family member. When you reach Step 2 (Billing and Shipping Address) you first enter your own address. Then, if you wish to ship to your work or another address, you select "No" where it asks you "Shipping and billing address the same". Then you have space to enter the Shipping address.
If you need to ship to more than one address, then you will need to complete a separate order for each address.
What happens if I'm out when the Courier Arrives?
The Express Courier usually arrives between 9.00 and 18.00 from Monday to Friday. They will deliver to the ground floor.
Someone does need to be present when the delivery is made, to sign for receipt of the goods. If you think you may be away, you can choose to deliver your order to a friend's address or to work.
If you are out when the Courier arrives, they will leave you a note with the phone number to call in order to fix another delivery time (at no cost). Please do call as soon as you can to ensure the fastest possible re-delivery, and because the courier will usually try to deliver again the following day unless advised otherwise.
How can I check the Delivery Status of my Order?
As soon as your order leaves our warehouse you will receive a confirmation order from us at Family Nation. You will also receive a message within 24 hours directly from GLS international, along with a tracking number and the website address where you can check the status of your delivery. It takes 1-2 working days for your tracking number to be active on the courier's website. If you don't receive a tracking number, log onto the website at the top of the screen, click on "Track your orders" and you can access a tracking number for GLS which you can enter at the GLS website.
If your Order does not Arrive
In the very unlikely event that your order does not arrive within a week, please do not hesitate to contact us and we will do our best to assist. You can contact us by writing to info@family-nation.com. You can also reach us through our Chat windows on each page or by Skype at family.nation. You may telephone us at: +44 207 19 333 86 (UK); +39 055 490 545 (Italy); +33 970 467 667 (France).
Payment by Bank Transfer
If you pay by Credit Card or PayPal we are usually able to dispatch your order the same day or the following day that we receive it. If you prefer to pay by Bank Transfer, we will dispatch your order once we have received your payment in Family Nation's Bank Account.
We can also accept payment via Bank Transfer. Please make the payment using the details below. Payment by Bank Transfer will slightly delay the dispatch of your item (we dispatch once we have received your payment into our bank account - usually it takes about 2 working days after your tranfer for us to receive the funds).
Delivery within Italy
Within Italy we are able to offer free delivery on all orders above 69€, otherwise delivery costs only 7.80€. Delivery is made using BRT's Express service - and you will typically recieve your order within 48 hours from the time you order (a day more for Islands and Remote Locations). All orders can be tracked, so the chance of your order going astray is minimal. (A small number of items are excluded from the Free Delivery service - this is indicated in the product description).
You can also choose to pay cash on delivery (pagamento in contrasegno), which is accepted on orders up to 500€. This service costs an additional 6.80€.
Pay on Delivery / Contrassegno (Pagamenti alla Consegna)
Please pay on Delivery (Contrassegno) in Cash. Please check to make sure that the Shipping Address is correct, and that includes the name on the doorbell, stairway number (if relevant), etc. If you are paying in cash, please put the correct amount aside, as the courier may not have change available. Orders of up to €500 are accepted for delivery by Cash on Delivery, and this service costs an additional 6.80€.
Easy Returns
We hope you will be very satisfied with your purchase at Family Nation, but if you would like to return an item, then we will be happy to help you.
Returns for purchases delivered outside of Italy
To return an item, please contact us at Family Nation before returning an item so we can provide you with an authorisation email. We cannot accept returns that have not been authorised in advance. When we receive your returned item we will issue you with a full refund for the cost of the item (we are unable to reimburse shipping costs for items sent to shipping addresses outside of Italy, nor will we cover any customs duties incurred to release the merchandise at customs).
Please note that returned items must be new, unused, undamaged, and in their original packaging.
If you would like a different size of the same item, we ask that you return the item that does not fit, and place a new order for the size that you need. If you place the order straight away you maximise the likelihood of getting the size you would like. We always fully refund returned items that we have been authorised, and where the returned items are as new. If you do not see the size you would like, please let us know - we may be able to order it for you.

We ask you to take special care with items that you might need to return: specifically we can only reimburse or exchange items that are new and unused and which:
- remain in their original packaging
- have their labels intact
- have not been altered in any way
- have not been washed
With respect to clothing, we ask you not to try items without first having been very careful not have creams, cosmetics or tanning lotion which could mark or stain the clothing, and not to remove any hygenic protective strip.
