    Once payment for the order is confirmed (remember that if payment is made by bank transfer, one or two business days will be added to the delivery, which is the time it takes for the bank to clear the payment), the order will be prepared and shipped from the warehouse and sent to the customer within the estimated delivery time.

    When the order leaves the warehouse, a confirmation email will be sent.

    If any error is identified in the data entry, please email info@productosdeasturias.com to request correction. The Website will correct this data as soon as possible and pursuant to the applicable legal regulations.

  • POLICY RETURN

    If the customer needs to return an order, the steps are:

    1. Send an email to info@productosdeasturias.com indicating the order number, the product(s) to be returned, and the reason for the return;
    2. Or call 985 794 215 to request a refund (the same details must be provided).
    3. You can also request the return of your order or a product in the order through the website, from your private user area, using the RETURN option. To do this, go to order history, select the order for which the total or partial return is to be made and follow the steps indicated.

    (INFOGRAPH).

    The abandonment period for making a claim is 14 calendar days from the time that the consumer and user, or a third party indicated by the consumer and user, other than the carrier, acquires material possession of the requested products. Once this period has transpired, the Website will either refund or not refund the amount paid by the customer at its sole discretion.

    Refunds may be made in two cases: due to cancellation, or damaged or defective merchandise.

    5.1 RETURNS DUE TO CANCELLATION.

    Applicable in cases where the customer decides to cancel an order or return a product purchased on the Website, without any justified reason for it. In these cases, the following considerations are specified:

    1.  The abandonment period for making a claim is 14 calendar days from the time the consumer and user, or a third party indicated by the consumer and user, other than the carrier, acquires material possession of the requested products. Once this period has transpired, the Website will either refund or not refund the amount paid by the customer at its sole discretion.

    2. To exercise the right to cancellation, the product must not have been opened or used or manipulated and must remain in its original packaging.

    3. The right to cancellation may not be exercised on any product in the meat category once it has been dispatched from the warehouse to the customer.

    4. If the product has not left the warehouse, the Website will reimburse the amount paid by the customer as soon as it is verified that the payment has been received by credit card, PayPal or bank transfer. If the product has already left the warehouse, the Website will reimburse the amount paid by the customer as soon as it is verified that the provisions of section 2 have been met and the items are not those referred to in section 3.

    In any case, the return will take place within a maximum period of 15 calendar days from the time the correct payment is received, or the correct receipt of the returned product is verified in the warehouse.

    5. The amount paid by the customer can be refunded in two ways:

    a) If the refund is made in cash, it will be made in the same way as the payment was made by the customer: refund to card, refund to PayPal account or bank transfer, as applicable. If the payment was made by bank transfer, the refund will be made by bank transfer to the account that the customer provides for this purpose. In case of unjustified delay by the Website with respect to refunding the amount that may apply, the customer may claim twice the amount owed, without prejudice to his or her right to compensation for the damages and losses sustained that exceed this amount.

    b) However, the customer may request compensation for the amount to be refunded as a voucher, which can be exchanged on the Website at any time from the time it is received. The amount of this voucher cannot be partially consumed so it must be used in a single purchase made by the customer at any time.

    In any case, the following costs shall be borne by the customer:

    • If the order was paid by bank transfer: the cost of the transfer.
    • If there is a product return: the cost of transport back to the warehouse.

    Pursuant to the above, in the event of cancellation by the customer, the Website will reimburse the customer the amount paid for the products returned, plus delivery costs paid by the customer (if any), minus delivery for the product return.

    In any case, the refund to the customer will never exceed the amount paid by the customer at the time the order was formalised.

    5.2 REFUNDS FOR DEFECTIVE OR DAMAGED PRODUCTS.

    Applicable in cases where the customer has received the order and one or more of the products are damaged or defective, even if the customer has opened the product with the intention of consuming it.

    The following considerations must be taken into account:

    1) The customer must advise that the product was received damaged or spoiled within a maximum of 14 days from placing the order. Once this period has transpired, the refund of the amount the customer paid may or may not be made, depending on the type of product and the incident notified by the customer (warranty cases or other issues).

    2) In general, the original packaging must be kept and sent back with the goods returned.

    3) Only the amount paid amount will be refunded (if any) when all damaged or defective products received by the customer have been returned.

    4) If a product in poor condition is returned, the following alternatives are available to the customer:

    a) Replace the product with another identical one: no delivery costs for the new product.

    b) Return the money the customer paid for the damaged or defective product, as well as logistics and delivery costs (if any).

    c) Send the customer a discount voucher that can be redeemed in the online store for the same amount as paid for the damaged or defective product, as well as logistics and delivery costs (if any).This voucher can be redeemed by the customer at any time and have no expiry date. It cannot be divided into separate orders.

    If a product is returned to the warehouse, Quesos del Principado de Asturias S.L. shall assume the costs of return delivery.

  • DELIVERY METHODS AND TIME

    Productosdeasturias.com works primarily with two logistics companies through which orders are delivered. Depending on the company concerned, there are two different delivery times:

    A) LOGISTICS FIRM: TIPS@: for delivery products that do not require refrigerated logistics. General delivery is within 24-72  hours in Mainland Spain, 48-72 hours to the Balearic Islands and Portugal.

    B) LOGISTICS FIRM: INTEGRA2: for delivery products that require refrigerated logistics.General delivery is 48-72 hours in Spain (Mainland and Balearic Islands), and five business days to Portugal.

    Products requiring refrigerated logistics are identified with the following icon on the product page:

    If a product of an order requires refrigerated logistics, all products ordered will be sent by the same method.

    In any case, the periods referred to above for either of the two companies start from the date the order is placed if it is placed before 12 pm.If the order is placed after 12 pm, the time begins from the next business day.

    These limits exclude holidays and weekends as there is no collection by the transport agency at these times (Saturdays, Sundays and holidays).

    During Christmas time (between 4 and 24 December), due to the high concentration of work that all transport agencies have, there may be delays in delivery periods, which is beyond the control of productosdeasturias.com. Productosdeasturias.com is committed to expediting shipments as far as is possible in order to meet deadlines, but please note that there are specific times when it is impossible, and this is beyond the company?s control.

    Orders will be fulfilled in the areas and countries for which the system allows user registration.

    Orders are delivered to the person/company and the delivery address provided through the Website.If the recipient wants to change the delivery address once the order has left the warehouse, any logistics costs resulting from this change shall be borne by the customer, who must pay prior to delivery. These logistic charges and the payment method are specified in the delivery surcharges section. Orders will not be delivered to PO boxes.

    If, exceptionally, any item ordered is not available at the time the order is placed, Quesos del Principado de Asturias S.L. offers customers a choice between two options:

    a) Wait until the item is in stock and send the entire order to the customer at the time that all items are available.

    b) If the customer paid for the order by credit card, PayPal or bank transfer, the amount of the product out of stock plus the corresponding delivery costs (if any) will be refunded.

    The Website reserves the right to withhold sending orders with incorrect addresses or phone numbers. In any case, our customer service department will contact the User to report any issues or concerns that may arise during order processing and dispatch.

  • STOCK

    If a product purchased by the customer is not available, when the latter has been expressly informed of this possibility, the Website may supply a similar product with the same or superior quality at no additional cost.

    In this case, the customer may exercise his/her rights to abandonment and termination pursuant to these General Conditions.

  • DISCOUNT POLICY

    Productosdeasturias.com would like to reward customer loyalty and ensure that customers know about all the quality products the company offers.

    To do this, once your change from a private customer to a professional customer is validated, you must access your private customer area with your user code and password, where you will find a sales equalisation tax checkbox that must be selected.
