Cultural Tip
In Italy, consumer protection laws (Codice del Consumo) guarantee a 14‑day right of withdrawal for most online purchases, but many companies offer a 30‑day return policy. When asking about refunds, keep a polite and formal tone—using 'Lei' or the formal 'voi' if you’re speaking to a representative. Avoid sounding demanding; phrase your request as a genuine inquiry.
