4. WARRANTY AND RETURN DUE TO FAULTS
What are the conditions of the Ferrino warranty?
Every Ferrino item has been studied in detail and made with the most suitable materials for the use it is intended for.
Strict “Ferrino Quality” controls ensure products free of material and packaging faults. If you should discover this type of fault, you can use the 2-year warranty from the date on which the product was purchased.
High Lab products have a 3-year warranty.
Please also remember that: The warranty does not cover faults caused by improper use or due to normal wear and tear of the parts after prolonged use.
This warranty does not limit consumer rights as defined by the current laws in effect in the various countries.
What can I do if the purchased product is faulty?
Below are instructions for starting up our company’s authorised return procedure, in addition to the current legislation on the matter.
Modes: 1. If the product was purchased from a Ferrino dealer:
The authorised return procedure is commenced following an alleged flaw/non-conformity, that the consumer complains about. The purchaser must return the faulty item to the sales point where it was purchased together with the payment receipt (condition for validity of warranty). The shop owner will send the item to the distributor or directly to Ferrino. At its own discretion, Ferrino will then replace or repair the item. If the fault is not covered by warranty, repairs will be carried out at limited costs, including shipment costs.
2. If the product was purchased from our online shop
If faulty or problematic, a product purchased at our e-shop can be returned directly the Ferrino post sales service. Our staff will decide whether to repair or replace the product according to each individual case. To start up the procedure, fill out the form on this page (link), sending a short description of the problem, our order number, your name, surname, address and telephone number. Our post sales service will receive your request and contact you as soon as possible, then proceeding with the free repair or replacement if the item is under warranty, or will send an estimate for the repair if the items are not covered by the Ferrino warranty.
If I return a product under warranty, must I pay for shipment costs?
If the product is under warranty, shipping costs will be paid by Ferrino, who will arrange for the product to be picked up, agreeing details with the customer, via the courier Bartolini
5. TAKING CARE OF THE PRODUCT
How do I wash the tent?
The tent should be washed by hand with neutral soap and water, using a soft brush. To remove any resin stains from the tent, rub with olive oil on a cotton ball then wash with neutral soap and water. Make sure the item is dried well before storing.
How do I wash the backpacks?
The backpack should be washed by hand with neutral soap and water, using a soft brush. Do not remove frame or structure from the backpack. Make sure the item is dried well before storing.
How do I wash, use and replace the sleeping bags?
For sleeping bags with synthetic padding: ù
If the sleeping bag has a synthetic padding, it can be washed gently at 30 degrees in a washing machine, without using any softener. Add two or three tennis balls to the washing machine so that the padding will fluff up as originally when dry.
For down-filled sleeping bags:
Down-filled sleeping bags must be washed delicately, in particular when drying they must be shaken several times so that the feathers do not all stick together at the bottom.
In fact, we recommend they are taken to the dry cleaner's. When the sleeping bag is not being used, we recommend hanging it up in a wardrobe or folding it like a duvet, and not storing it in its bag or holder. Warning! Both synthetic and down-filled sleeping bags can be damaged by over-washing.
For this reason, we recommend using a cotton, silk or disposable sleeping bag liner together with the sleeping bag.
How can I wash Ferrino garments?
Washing instructions are contained on the labels inside each item.
How can I repair an old Ferrino item?
Please contact the sales point and explain the problem with the product. The shopkeeper will send the product to our internal assistance department for repair at a fee, with an estimate issued by our staff beforehand.
How can I purchase spare parts for my items?
Some spare parts can be purchased at our online shop. If you cannot find the spare part required in our shop, you can contact Ferrino internal assistance if you bought the item online from our official shop, or contact a sales point if the item was not purchased online.
