SITE CONTENTS
Valdonegabooks.it offers an interesting selection of top-quality books.
Opened in 2007, the website Valdonegabooks.it has exclusive offers on prestigious editions with copies still available, whether produced by the publishing house EDIZIONI VALDONEGA or the high-quality prints made for other publishing houses by the STAMPERIA VALDONEGA.
The website Valdonegabooks.it belongs to the Stamperia Valdonega Group s.r.l., whose head offices are at Viale Copernico no.11, 37059 Campagnola di Zevio (Verona) and was founded in 1948 by the famous typographer Giovanni Mardersteig.
The idea behind this website is to allow lovers of fine quality books, and collectors and appreciators of valuable printed publications and limited editions, from around the world to purchase products quickly and easily.
How can I surf the Valdonegabooks.it website?
You don’t have to register with the website to consult our catalogue, so you can search for our books through guided browsing (by category) or through an open “full text” search, which can be done using our search engine.
Each book is identified by an ISBN code (except for some of the less recent publications which have no code), the title, the author, the weight, the number of pages and the sale price.
The initial notes that describe the publication always state whether the work is currently in stock. In fact, the Valdonegabooks.it website is always updated based on the number of copies available in stock.
ORDERING FROM VALDONEGABOOKS.IT
How can I pay?
Valdonega Books accepts credit card payments: Visa, Mastercard-Eurocard, CartaSi and American Express cards are all accepted. As an alternative, you can pay by bank transfer. Users can choose their preferred method of payment at the end of the purchase procedure on Valdonegabooks.it
N.B.: the cost of your order will be debited from your credit card only upon the goods being shipped and you will be charged only for the articles actually sent.
How do I make an order?
Every page giving the details of a product contains a button which allows you to add the product to your shopping cart. You can add as many products as you like to the cart. Once you have added all the products you want to your cart, you go to the checkout, just like in any shop: you go to the cash till, you ring up your purchases, you give the address you want your goods sent to and you pay using your credit card or a bank transfer. Valdonegabooks.it will send a receipt (which we ask you to keep a record of) for every purchase to your email address.
How do I order more than one copy of an item?
If you wish to order more than one copy of an item, you can vary the desired quantity of the items while in your shopping cart or when you arrive at the page where you confirm the order. You just have to change the number displayed in the Quantity field and then click on the [Update cart] button.
Can orders be cancelled?
You can cancel one or more products from your order for any reason and at any time before you begin the checkout procedure.
What happens if I order a title that turns out to be unavailable?
In our catalogue we only have books that are available in our warehouses. However, it may happen that a volume turns out to be unavailable because it is being reprinted. In this case, you will be informed of the problem by email and your order for the unavailable item will be automatically cancelled. Any other items in the order will be sent immediately: of course, the cost of the unavailable items will be automatically subtracted from the total stated at the time of making the order.
How will my credit card details be used?
You do not need to worry at all about your personal data or your credit card details: Valdonegabooks.it uses the Bankpass secure payment system, which uses the SSL3 protocol, to handle your details. Therefore you will type in the information pertaining to your credit card only when the system has brought you to Bankpass Web’s secure pages.
Have you got a price conversion chart?
In the product description, the price is given in Euros. In order to be sure of converting the amount correctly, Valdonegabooks.it advises all its users to check the cost in their own currency by using an online currency converter (Oanda, XE.com, Google, Yahoo).
Transparent prices
Valdonegabooks.it guarantees maximum transparency in all transactions. Every book has a fixed price (sales tax included). Taxes are calculated according to Italian taxation laws.
The postage costs depend on the weight of the books selected and the country the goods are to be sent to. The postage costs are calculated on the order summary page (before you proceed with payment) and are clearly indicated.
The final cost of the order is made up of the prices of the books purchased plus postage costs (transport costs).
Valdonegabooks.it asks for a contribution towards postage costs on every order, but we apply a discount (which is variable depending on the weight of your order) off the official UPS price list for packages sent from Italy and delivered anywhere in the world. Valdonegabooks.it asks for a contribution towards these costs because the books on offer are often of considerable weight and volume.
Transport and delivery
Valdonegabooks.it delivers your books to you anywhere in the world. In order to simplify matters for our users and guarantee a global delivery service, Valdonegabooks.it has decided to entrust UPS (www.ups.com) with delivery of its products. Once you confirm the order, the products that have been ordered will be sent from the Valdonegabooks.it headquarters the day after the order has been correctly received. Our delivery times are those guaranteed by the UPS Express Saver service, which guarantees delivery the next working day in almost all major business centres. Therefore Valdonegabooks.it can deliver your purchases to any address in Italy or elsewhere in a very short time*: within 36-72 hours.
* Average delivery times practised by the carrier, calculated from the moment the goods are loaded. Saturdays and holidays are not included in the calculation of delivery times.
