REGISTRATION
Why registering with tellini.it?
Registration on the Tellini B2B Shop is fundamental to be able to view the prices of the items for sale, to send order requests and to ask for information about items that are not in the catalog. There are other benefits waiting for you: as a logged-in user you can complete purchases from any device (PC, tablet, smart phone, iPhone), receive discount coupons, dedicated offers, and updates as to special events and promotional sales that we schedule both online and at our Showroom in Udine. Finally, if you are a new customer, we have reserved a special 10%* discount for you on your first online purchases.
Is registering easy?
Yes, surely. The registration is simple, free of charge, and with no obligations to purchase. Simply fill out the registration form and complete all the requested fields. Once your inserted credentials are verified, your registration will be approved and within about 24 hours we’ll send you a confirmation email. From then on, you will be able to access your account, browse the catalogue complete with prices, and begin purchasing.
Can anybody register to purchase?
No, sorry. The online wholesale tellini.it shop is not open to individual consumers. The registration and the purchases on our platform are reserved exclusively to:
- to customers who have their registered office in Italy or in the EU and are in possession of a valid VAT number relating to the trade of clothing, linen, fabrics and the like;
- to customers who have their registered office outside the borders of Italy and the EU and operate in sector of clothing, linen, fabrics and the like who undertake to follow the regulations in force in the field of export of the goods.
What are my data for?
Your data are essential in order to create a complete fiscal registration and to carry out accurate invoicing. That is why we recommend you to fill in all parts of the registration form, identifying accurately the fiscal and VAT number of your company, as well as any additional delivery addresses. Don't forget to supply us with at least one cell phone number, so that the carrier will be able to contact you if necessary in order to agree upon the delivery.
How are my data processed?
We use your data in full compliance of the European Regulation concerning personal data. That's why we updated the Privacy Policy adapting our internal procedures to the new GDPR. You can consult at any time the purposes and modes of processing and storing, and the possible erasure of your personal data, in the relevant section.
How is an account created?
To create an account, simply enter an active e-mail address and an alphanumeric password.
Later, the identification data of your company will be requested, including any additional delivery addresses and a cell phone number to be made known to the carrier. In order to guarantee the correct utilization of the platform, the data you send will undergo a careful verification. Only after our personnel will have ascertained they are accurate, we will send you an email confirmation containing the User Name, UserID and Password. From that moment on, you will be able to access your Profile, to page through the complete price list, and to start with your purchases.
What do I do if I forget the password?
Don't worry.
Go to the login area, insert your email and select “Forgot my password”.
You will soon receive an email with the new password which you can later change by accessing your profile. Given the delicate nature of online transactions, we always recommend that you create a complex password which alternate numbers, digits, upper and lowercase letters, and symbols so that it is neither intuitive nor predictable.
Also, it is essential to keep it in a secret place with the utmost care, out of prying eyes, and, if
possible, separately from your UserID.
My access data were stolen and somebody else placed an order, what should I do?
Request a new access password to the tellini.it platform, and block your credit cards.
After that, scrupulously keep in a secret place your credentials and your banking data.
You are still to complete the payments and/or to receive the goods, even if the orders were placed by some ill-intentioned person using your data. In fact, Tellini Srl is not liable if you, out of lack of due diligence, have allowed your identification data to be stolen in an identity theft.
I am an online customer of yours already, should I register anyway?
No, a new registration is not necessary. Your data are stored with our server and they can be used to access the new platform too. Anyway, you can update your password from your Profile, or ask for a new one by contacting the Customer Service at +39 0432 521515, or finally by using the field “Did you forget your password?” in the Access page.
I am already a regular customer of your warehouse, should I register anyway?
Yes, thank you! The registration of customers of the warehouse only, who have no online account, is necessary in order to integrate the administrative filing with the online accounting. The registration is easy and quick, just follow the directions. Once you have registered and received your credentials, you will be able to activate your profile, to freely view the price list and to start placing orders for your preferred products on the Tellini B2B Shop, too. Note: the special payment terms and any discount schedule we reserved for you remain unchanged for the online purchases, too.
PRODUCTS
I can't see the prices, what should I do?
The registration is mandatory in order to view the prices we offer on tellini.it. In fact, while browsing the online catalog is free and open to anyone, the access to purchasing is reserved and allowed only to Italian and European operators in the textile sector, actively carrying out business in clothing, household linen, textiles and similar products.
Is VAT included in the prices?
No, unless otherwise stated, the prices for the catalog items are “VAT not included”. The amount due is visible in the summary of both your cart as well as via the order request form , and it should always be checked by the customer before starting the payment procedure. The validity of the price is always and only the one stated at the time when the order is forwarded to the supplier. The prices of some or all the products, in fact, can change without any notice. Note: Tellini S.r.l is not liable for taxes levied in other Countries.
Are all the items available in the warehouse displayed online?
Not necessarily.
Do you wish an item in particular and you don't see it on our virtual shelf? Don't give up, contact our operators! You can call us at +39 0432
521515, send us a message by WhatsApp or send an e-mail to eshop@tellini.it accurately identifying the brand, the item code, the amount, the sizes
and the color references you want. We will immediately contact the brand producer, and since we restock every week, if the wares are available, we
will order them for you and make them available for you in some eight work days.
Note: this offer is subject to minimum order quantities.
Can you notify me when the items are available again?
Certainly. the Back in Stock option is active! Don't miss the opportunity to stock your shop with items that are essential for your customers. If you find that the items you want are temporarily out of stock, select the option "Alert me when again available". You will receive an update e-mail as soon as your preferred ongoing items will be back in the catalog, so you will be able to purchase them immediately, before anyone else does that.
What does “assorted variant” mean?
By “assorted variant” we mean those items of the household textiles department for which we cannot guarantee the delivery of a specific reference (color/pattern /model). They are shipped according to the references that are in stock at the time when the order is prepared. However, you can contact our Customer Service and tell us what you'd prefer: we will do everything possible to get close to your wishes! Note: in these cases, having received another color/pattern/model does not amount to a sufficient basis to lodge a complaint about the goods and request a return.
I am an international customer, how can I be sure about the sizes?
We have prepared a Table of Comparison of the sizes, which you can look up at any time in order to compare the Italian sizes with any international sizes. The table can be viewed in the product listing of each item by calling it up with the dedicated button, or in the Size Guide section.
Is there a Hanging Garments Service?
Yes, certainly.
If you wish so, when ordering you can request the packaging of your items as “hanging garments", with or without labeling. You will receive them already prepared for setting them up in your shop. Your items, indeed, will be first taken out of the original package, hung on hangers, and finally shipped. When they arrive, you'll only have to take them out and show them to your customers.
Note: this is a service for a charge, and it is valid only for minimum order amounts and active only for the underwear items. For more info, please contact the Customer Service at +39 0432 521515.
Can I have a customized Labeling Service?
Certainly, the Labeling Service is one of the many additional benefits that Tellini Srl makes available to the customers. If you wish so, our staff will take care of printing all labels, with the identifying code for the item/garment, the machine readable barcode, the price you will want to cash, and any necessary information about the model, color and size. The labels can be stuck directly on the individual items, or sent in the goods' package. Note: this is a service for a charge, and it is valid only for minimum order amounts. For more info, please contact the Customer Service at +39 0432 521515.
ORDERS
Can I save my preferences and purchase later?
Yes, certainly.
You can select all the items you want and save them in your wish list, as a memo for future purchases.
When you are ready to place your order you only have to click on the "Add to cart" button and you will thus start the availability verification procedure, after which you can proceed to payment. All order requests are subject to verification.
Remember, even though we carry out restock weekly, the actual availability of goods in the warehouse is subject to remarkable variations, even in just a few days (save in the case of ongoing items).
Therefore, especially when new collections are presented or special promotional events take place (E.g. the "Fiera del Bianco"), we suggest not to let too much time go by from the moment you select an item you like to the moment you want to place your order. You might not find it any more!
How do I place an order?
Ordering on tellini.it is very simple.
Just select the items/garments you want, choose the size, color and quantity, and load them on the cart. You can carry out this procedure over several days. You can always modify sizes and colors and replace the items you want, before sending the order request. Once your list is complete, please verify the goods' summary and remove any unwanted items from the cart, check the invoicing data entered are correct, and select the delivery address if it's different from the invoicing address. If you have any special requests (e.g. hanging garments, labeling service, temporary warehousing for pick up by your own carrier) please contact the Customer Service by telephone before sending the order. We will assess your request and do anything possible to help you. Once you have reached an agreement with the staff, fill in the dedicated Message field and click on "Send Request".
How does the purchase procedure end?
Within two work days from the receipt of your order request, our personnel will verify that the goods are actually available, and, if everything is OK, they will send you a valid order confirmation, which will be valid as a formal acceptance of the order. Otherwise, an operator will contact you to propose any possible replacements and to agree with you on any modifications. After that, the goods will be set aside and packaged by our staff. If you pay by money transfer, you will have to carry out the payment within three days from the receipt of the proforma invoice, otherwise your order will be voided.We will proceed with shipping once the transaction is visible on our bank account. If you want to follow your shipment step by step, please contact the Customer Service. We will supply you with the carrier's name and the shipment tracking number, with which you will be able to monitor the shipment of the goods.
Is there a limit to my purchases?
No, absolutely.
There are no limits to your shopping on tellini.it, but there is a minimum order threshold amounting to €150.00 + VAT for shipments to Italy and EU Member States. For shipments in Italy for an amount over €300.00 € + VAT, Tellini Srl, as a compliment to the customers, pays the shipment costs in full.
The full discounting of the shipment costs is applicable only on a single order and it is not applicable to multiple orders reaching the threshold mentioned, even if they are
placed in the same calendar month.
Can I modify my order before it's shipped?
Yes, but only before Tellini Srl issues the proforma invoice.
The issuing of the proforma invoice formalizes our acceptance of your request to verify if the goods are available, and from that moment that becomes a true and full order. Therefore, the contractual agreement among the parties is considered as entered into, and the payment of the amount due within three days, as well as the acceptance of the goods, become binding for you.
How much time will it take for my order to be processed?
Your order is prepared as soon as we issue the proforma invoice, and it is processed within four work days at most, but only after we have received confirmation that the payment has taken place (save in case of cash-on-delivery payments). These times may vary in case of company closing days or restocking of goods.
Can I have a summary of my past orders?
Yes, certainly. Within your own account, you can always view the history of the transactions on tellini.it. Look up the section “Orders Placed” and check out the previous orders, or, if you prefer, ask for a copy of the invoices already issued in the calendar year by sending an e-mail to e s h o p @ t e l l i n i . i t. We will be pleased to help you.
PAYMENTS
What payment modes do you accept?
On tellini.it you can pay comfortably and securely through:
- Bank transfer in advance to the bank account in the name of Tellini Srl. The payment details will be sent by e-mail to the address you gave when registering, once the order procedure is completed. You can also view the details in the Payments section.
- Credit card (any, save American Express and Diners). Since the transaction confirmation is immediate, this method allows us to go on with the merchandise and program the pick up, at the latest, for the following day.
- Cash on delivery. This is only allowed for purchases not exceeding an amount of 2,999.00€, with goods to be delivered in Italy.
If for whatever reason the invoice amount is not the same as the amount of the credit we received (for instance, if a product is
unavailable), the difference will be immediately credited back to you, before the shipment is carried out.
Payments with Debit cards or from the Paypal system are not accepted.
Can I pay an advance for the shipment and the balance upon delivery?
No, sorry.
The orders placed by means of the tellini.it platform must be paid in one tranche within three days from the receipt of the proforma invoice. For
specific requests about payments, please send an e-mail to eshop@tellini.it or call directly during the business hours the Customer Service at +39
0432 521515.
Are my transactions on www.tellini.it secure?
Yes, absolutely.
The tellini.it website is an eCommerce site on an HTTPS platform with SSL security certification: a special system of data encryption that protects
the user and his online transactions, preventing their interpretation, reading or decryption by ill-intentioned third parties. The site's security
is acknowledged by Google and confirmed by the green padlock icon you can see on the upper left corner of the navigation bar, beside the website's
URL.
The system does not accept my credit card, what should I do?
The failure to finalize a payment can depend on several factors, which may be linked with the card:
- A mistake in entering the data/codes (try repeating the procedure)
- expired card
- daily limit exceeded
- card not enabled for online payments
Or they may depend on Internet access:
- sudden interruption of the connection
- no access available
- obsolete browser version (Firefox, Google, Mozilla, etc.)
- dynamic IP address blocking the operation
- transaction deemed suspect
In the first series of cases, please contact your bank and carry out a quick check, or change card or select a different payment form. In the second series, check or reset the access, or access from a different browser or device.
SHIPMENTS
What carriers do you ship with?
Tellini Srl has selected three trusted carriers: Bartolini, Ceccarelli and TNT, all guaranteeing fast deliveries at reasonable costs. The pick up by the customer or by a customer's chosen carrier is optional in case of deliveries within the EU, while it is always provided for in case of deliveries outside the EU. For further info, please contact the Customer Service by telephone at + 39 0432 521515 or send an e-mail to e s h o p @ t e l l i n i . i t
Is the shipment cost included in the price?
No, only for shipments within Italy (mainland and major islands) with an amount greater than € 300.00 + VAT qualify for free shipping. In all other cases the shipment costs are entirely charged to the customer or the addressee and they will be calculated accurately only when the proforma invoice is issued. In fact, the shipment costs cannot be determined in advance. They vary depending upon the goods' weight, the number of packages, the carrier appointed and above all the final destination.
In case of big volumes or high weight of the shipments, the delivery cost may change according to the destination selected.
Are the shipment costs the same in Italy and abroad?
No, apart from the weight, volume and number of the packages, any taxes and customs dues the transit countries may levy also affect the costs. Anyway, the system sets a minimum cost amount (VAT not included) of € 8.00 for all destinations in Italy (excluding Venice, Calabria, Sardinia and Sicily, for which € 12.00 are calculated.) In all other cases, the costs are separately calculated later.
In case of big volumes or high weight of the shipments, the delivery cost may change according to the destination selected.
What are the shipment and delivery times?
The goods are packaged and shipped at most within four business days after receiving payment from the receipt of the confirmation that the payment has taken place, save in case of extraordinary closing days of the company or while waiting for restocking. The delivery times, on the other hand, depend upon the carrier and the final destination (whether in Italy or EU Countries). In order to facilitate your business as much as possible, and guarantee a fast restocking, Tellini Srl has agreed upon reasonable costs and fast deliveries with its trusted carriers. In particular, within the Italian territory we are able to guarantee the delivery within at most two work days (these times are increased by one or two work days in Sicily, Sardinia and minor islands). In all cases, the customer is liable for the goods in shipment.
Can I insure the goods?
Yes, certainly.
It is possible to agree upon an insured shipment. for an estimate, contact Tellini srl on the telephone at +39 0432 521515 or
through e-mail: e s h o p @ t e l l i n i . i t.
Can you ship to several different addresses?
Yes, we can.
You only have to specify the different destinations when sending in the order request. Of course this option implies the separate calculation of the
shipment costs that will follow the goods to their final destinations.
Can I pick up the goods on my own?
Yes, certainly.
You can purchase online and then pick up the goods on your own, or have them picked up by your carrier at our premises in Udine, with prior
notification to the business department before carrying out the payment. Please contact us by e-mail to e s h o p @ t e l l i n i . i t or call the Customer
Service at +39 0432 521515.
I have my own trusted carrier, can I use them?
Yes, naturally.
However, you have to point that out in the order request, by writing in the Message area "Pick up and transportation of the goods with own means”. Once the payment has taken place, you will have to inform the shipment personnel in order to agree upon a date and time for the pickup of the packages by your own carrier.
The pickup on one's own or by a carrier appointed by the customer is always provided for in case of destinations outside the EU.
How can I monitor my shipment?
If you wish, as soon as the goods are picked up by the carrier and shipped, we'll send you an e-mail stating that the package has left our warehouse. If you want to monitor the position of the package, please contact the Customer service, and an operator will supply you with the tracking number. By entering this code on the carrier's website, you'll be able to monitor at any time the progress status of the shipment, until delivery.
RETURNS AND COMPLAINTS
Will I receive the goods as I see them in the photos?
The images on the website represent the products for sale. Any variation in the color shade from the monitor to reality can be attributed to subjective perceptions, and in any case Tellini Srl is not liable for such dissimilarities in the original item sent.
I received goods that are not those I ordered, what should I do?
You can exercise your right of withdrawal within ten days, by sending us a return request if the items delivered are not conforming to the order.

The package was visibly damaged when delivered, can I return the goods?
Yes, but only if you immediately and formally complain about the damage with the carrier, and follow the return procedure described in the FAQ above. The package will have to be sent back in the same condition as it was delivered. Products that are sent back not intact, damaged, or without the original accessories and devices, if no complaint was made upon delivery, will not be accepted, but will be sent back to the customer, with an increase of the shipment costs.

The customer is always to pay in full for the costs and risks of the transportation for the return. We will pay for the shipment costs in this case if the item delivered actually is not part of the order list agreed upon and accepted by means of the proforma invoice. In any case, before sending the goods back, you will have to wait our e-mail confirming we accept the return. In the interest of fairness in our relationship, you will have to store and safeguard with the utmost care and diligence the items you received and for which you intend to exercise your right of withdrawal, keeping them intact in their original packages. Products that are returned not intact, damaged, or without the original accessories and devices will not be accepted, and they will be sent back to the sender, with an increase in the shipment costs.
