4) Days in transit are generally 1-5 business days and do not include the day of pick up, weekends or holidays.
5) During the period 15th July to 31st August all Murano factories are closed by tradition because of the impossibility of working in the summer heat, therefore the delivery date will be longer, but our export manager is always available via Email.
6) The factories are also closed during the Christmas period for the production,then of course the shipping period order-delivery will be longer, but there will be always someone online to assist our clients.
7) We ship orders using air freight with these carriers: Fedex,UPS,DHL, or EMS(Express Mail Shipping) this is a special branch of Post Office.

Characteristics of hand made Murano glass.

Our policy is to be sincere with our clients so we feel obliged to fully explain what to expect from Murano glass which is made now as it was made a 1000 years ago: only hands and few tools, therefore this fine and precious technique is recognisable in the glass;  clients who are not familiar with Murano chandeliers, please undrstand that:
Small signs left by cutters,pincers,no two parts exactly alike, slight variations of color and sporadic small bubbles are the result of this work.
