Shipping

When will my order ship?

It takes one business day to receive and fulfill your order.  However, if you submit your order by 2pm CST Monday through Friday, your order will typically be shipped out the same day. Please note that the shipping method selected at checkout only applies to the time in transit.  The time of transit starts when the package is picked up by the carrier, not once the order is submitted.  Orders that contain special care products typically only ship from our facility Monday – Wednesday. (except during the colder months).  We may hold back shipping certain orders and ship earlier in the week to ensure product integrity and quality. As soon as our order is processed and fulfilled, you will receive tracking details.  Tracking is updated automatically by the carrier as soon as it is scanned and in their possession.

During the holiday peak season, shipping times may be delayed.  We will process your order as quickly as possible.

How is shipping calculated?

Shipping charges are calculated per ship-to address and based on the weight and address location.  The shipping costs presented at checkout are based on our negotiated rates with UPS and FedEx.  You can choose your preferred carrier and level of service at checkout.

If you need additional assistance or have questions, please contact our team at support@ditalia.com

Free Shipping on orders Over $129

Orders over $129 qualify for FREE Standard Shipping for eligible items only (special care items are not eligible for Free Shipping Offers). Alaska and Hawaii are not eligible for Free Shipping offers.

My order is $129, why am I being charged shipping?

If your order contains a perishable (special care items), then your order doesn’t qualify for Free Standard Shipping. If your order contains more than $129 in eligible items and includes a perishable (special care) or ineligible product, you are only charged shipping for those special care item/s. All orders that have more than $129 in eligible items will receive Free Shipping on these items only.

Why do I have to pay additional shipping charges for perishable (special care) items and non-eligible items?

To guarantee that your order arrives in optimum condition, your order is packed with ice packs and thermal insulated packaging. During the warmest months of the year (typically April through September), we do not recommend taking the chance to ship these types of items without additional care and packaging. Our policy for these items is more relaxed during October through March. Some items that are special care during the warmer months are not necessarily special care during the colder months of the year.
