How do I make a return?
You can manage your return independently directly from our dedicated portal: go.ifreturns.com/it/samplelover. As a consumer, you have 14 days from receiving the product to initiate the request, without having to state a reason. Products must be returned unused and intact; return shipping costs are borne by the customer.
Which products cannot be returned?
By law, the right of withdrawal does not apply to: personalized or custom-made goods; services; goods opened after delivery that cannot be returned for hygienic or health reasons (e.g., underwear, cosmetics); goods that by their nature are mixed with others and cannot be separated (e.g., components of a kit); alcoholic beverages. Returned products must be unused, undamaged, clean, and ideally in their original packaging or well protected for transport.

The refund will be issued within 14 days of receiving the returned product or proof of shipment, using the same payment method used for the purchase, unless otherwise agreed. The amount of the product will be refunded, while any extra costs chosen by the customer (e.g., a more expensive delivery than standard) will not be refunded. If payment was made using a gift card or credit, the refund will be issued to the same gift card.
Events · booking and access · 10 questions
Do I need to book to participate or can I just show up?
To access our sales, online booking is highly recommended, choosing the day and time of entry: it guarantees priority access and avoids long waits. If you are not registered, you can still do so upon arrival, but entry will be subject to availability, and those who have booked in advance will always have priority.
How does online booking work?
Just click on the event link, choose the day and time, and complete the registration. You will immediately receive a confirmation email with a QR code, which you will need to show at the entrance to access the event.
Can I modify or cancel my booking?
Yes, you can do this independently from the confirmation email or directly from the booking website in your personal area.
I didn't receive an invitation, can I still enter?
First, check your spam folder. If you are registered but have not received an invitation, you can still access by providing the name and surname used during booking.
If I arrive late, can I still enter?
Yes, you can still enter, but priority is always given to those who access during their booked time slot.
Can I bring a companion?
Yes, you can bring a friend, but each person must register individually. We recommend completing the online booking for both of you to ensure secure and seamless access. If the companion cannot register online, they can do so on-site, with priority always given to those who have already booked.
Is admission free or paid?
Admission to our physical sales is always free.
Are there any age limits to participate?
No, our private sales are open to everyone.
My daughter is a minor, does she need to register or can she access with my registration?
