Delivery – Processing and shipping deadlines

We aim to serve customers as quickly as possible, so 95% of orders are processed by our logistics in less than 24 working hours. But we have to be very transparent with our delivery time policy, so:

All paid orders are processed by our team of logistics in a period of three working days, except for cases of unavailable items. If there is no immediate availability of one or more products in the order, the customer will be contacted and informed of the deadline for restocking the products. If the customer does not wish to wait for the replacement of the missing product, he may choose a replacement product or cancel this product in the order.

  • In the case of product substitution, a value adjustment must be made.
  • If you wish to cancel this (these) product(s), the remaining order will be sent immediately, and the value of the canceled product(s) will be refunded to the customer.

It is important to mention that all orders paid after 11:00 (GMT+1) will only be considered the following business day.

We only work with certified carriers as partners, guaranteeing deliveries all over the world with excellent quality:

Shipping time might vary depending on the destination and processing time of each carrier. The estimated time for each destination is:

  • Shipments to mainland Portugal: up to 2 working days;
  • Madeira and Azores: between 2 and 15 working days;
  • European Union: 5 to 9 working days;
  • Outside the European Union: Between 3 and 30 business days (depends on the shipping service selected )

The transport time (until delivery) may vary in certain exceptional periods of higher traffic, for example during the holiday period, big promotions (i.e: Black Friday) or the Christmas season. We advise customers to anticipate purchases during these periods in order to receive all orders without problems and delays.

Outside the European Union Orders taxation: An order can be selected for random inspection by the authorities. When this happens the taxation of goods can occur. These import taxes are charged by local government, and is responsibility of the customer the payment of these taxes.

Orders outside the European Union might be subject to delays due to customs inspection. We cannot intervene in these situations to accelerate process, but we will be available to help and question our carrier partners if necessary.

Customers are responsible for providing all necessary information for customs release, including but not limited to their social security number or tax identification number. Failure to provide this information may result in delays or rejection of the shipment by customs. Customers are solely responsible for ensuring that all products ordered comply with the laws, regulations, and customs requirements of their country of residence. The Company shall not be held liable for any costs, fees, or fines associated with non-compliance.

In terms of delivery times, normally our transport partners do not allow you to set a certain time for delivery, so it is better to consider the usual delivery time between 08:00 and 19:00. In case no one is at the address to receive the goods, a notice will be left in the mailbox requesting the contact to schedule a new delivery or collection at a collection point.

In the event that the shipping package is damaged, check its contents at the time of delivery and immediately file a complaint with the carrier, then contact our Customer Support. You should also contact our Customer Support if you have received a package in good condition, but some items are damaged.

It’s essential to check your order as soon as you receive it. To help us be more efficient and agile in resolving the situation, we ask customers to provide full details of the failure and send us relevant pictures of the damaged packages/products. We reaffirm again the importance of not accepting your order if the packaging shows any sign of violation. If you suspect the integrity of your order, you must refuse delivery.

If you wish to modify the delivery address or cancel your order before it is dispatched from our warehouse, please contact our Customer Care Service immediately via email at [email protected]. Include your order number and the subject in your communication.

For orders already dispatched, certain couriers we collaborate with may allow changes even after dispatch. Please review the details below:

  • Orders shipped by Regular Mail service: Once dispatched, no further changes are possible.
  • Orders shipped by DHL: Depending on the dispatch status and destination country, you may be able to change the delivery address or cancel the order. Verify directly with DHL in your country to confirm if these changes are permissible here.
  • Orders shipped by FEDEX: It’s possible to alter the delivery address or cancel the order, provided no delivery attempt has been made. Contact FEDEX directly here.

If cancellation is no longer feasible, you have the option to refuse delivery. Alternatively, if you accept the delivery, you can return the order at your own expense.

Please note that in cases of orders displaying strong evidence of fraud, IDIVIA reserves the right to cancel and refund orders without further justification, prioritizing the protection of all parties involved.

Free Shipping

Free Shipping is available for orders above 130 EUR/135 USD. IDIVIA will be all responsible for the selection free shipping method, but as our objective is always to provide the best experience we always will use the best fit in terms of speed, import taxes and price for each country.

The costumer will still be able to choose different methods on the checkout page if you deem them more convenient. Please remember that by choosing a different shipping method than Free Shipping, you are abdicating the free shipping offer.

Please note: Orders with Free Shipping delivery option that could not be delivered due to reasons that can’t be attributed to IDIVIA or to the courier, will be refunded with a 20% reduction of the order value.

Entry authorization in the country of destination

All products and brands available in idivia.com have marketing authorization and are covered by Infarmed and DGAV (European Union-Portugal) regulations. The customer is responsible for confirming if there is any legislation in their country that prevents the import and consumption of any of the products or substances contained therein.

In cases where the entry of products is prohibited by customs authorities, several situations can occur:

  • Packages shipped via regular post are automatically returned as soon as they arrive at customs in the country of destination. In these situations we will refund the value of the order through a discount voucher, deducted of all the transport costs and any customs fees or costs associated with the return;
  • Packages shipped via courier (Express Mail) are returned to our warehouses by the same courier. In these cases the customer is responsible for all transportation costs to the origin, as well as all the import and customs clearance costs associated with the return. We will then refund the remaining value of the packaged (via discount voucher), deducted of the total costs for the return. Since return costs can be significant we will always try to ask the customer about the preference between returning the products or abandoning the goods and consequent destruction, but in some destinations it is not possible as the order will automatically and immediately return to the sender. In these cases, the customer will be responsible for the total cost of the return.

Thefts, failures and misplacements

We always focus on satisfaction of all customers, so all our orders are covered with insurance against loss. In case your order is lost, we will either refund it in full (using a voucher), or send a replacement package without additional costs. It is important to note that the order will only be considered lost after confirmation by the carrier.

Because sometimes problems can happen… If the order shows any sign of violation, we ask you not to accept the delivery so that the package is returned to our facilities. Our team will then review what happened and contact you to resolve the situation in the best way. In order to ensure that all products ordered arrive safely at their destination, we have implemented multiple validations through barcode scanning and camera surveillance. We also have detailed tracking information from our logistical partners, with the order being weighed in the operational centers of the carriers.

We deeply regret any inconvenience caused if you have received damaged or incorrectly shipped items. Ensuring the highest standard of service is our utmost priority, and we are fully committed to promptly resolving any such issues with minimal disruption to you. We kindly request that you report any such matters as soon as you receive the product. Alternatively, we may consider addressing very specific situations within our standard warranty period, which extends up to 14 days from the date of your receipt of the product(s).

It’s important to check your order as soon as you receive it. To help us be more efficient and agile in resolving the situation, we ask customers to provide full details of the failure and to send us a couple of relevant pictures of the damaged packages / products. We reaffirm again the importance of not accepting your order if the packaging shows any sign of violation. If you suspect the integrity of your order, you must refuse delivery.

Each situation will be analysed individually, carefully and resolved with maximum attention. We need to reinforce the importance of communicating all problems as soon as possible via the e-mail to [email protected].
