Orders

Do I need to register to order?

No. You can order as a guest, with your first name, last name and email. With an account, though, you save your addresses and find your orders: see registration and account.

How do I place an order?

Put the products in the cart, click Proceed to checkout and follow the four steps: personal details, address, shipping, payment. We explain it step by step in how to place an order.

Can I order by phone or on WhatsApp?

Yes, write to us on +39 338 859 1106: we prepare the order for you and send you a link to pay securely.

Is there a minimum order?

Yes, €10.00 of products, excluding VAT. Some products are sold only in packs of several pieces, because of the packaging: passata in 420 g bottles in packs of 8, sauce in 680 g bottles in packs of 6. It is written on the product page.

Can I change or cancel an order?

Yes, as long as it has not left. Write to us straight away on WhatsApp or through the contact form with the order number. If the parcel has already left, you can always use the right of withdrawal once you receive it.

How do I track my order?

We send you an email at every important step: payment received, order being prepared and order shipped, with the number to follow the parcel. If you have an account, the status is also in your order history.

I need an invoice: what do I do?

If you have an account, you will find it in your order history. If you need it made out to a company, reply to the order confirmation email with the company name, VAT number and address, and we will prepare it.

Payments

How can I pay?

By credit, debit or prepaid card, with PayPal (including Pay in 3), with MyBank or by bank transfer. All the details in payment methods.

Do I need a PayPal account to pay by card?

No. You enter your card details directly on the payment page. PayPal handles the transaction securely: your card details do not pass through our servers.

Can I pay cash on delivery?

Not at the moment: on the website you can pay by card, PayPal, MyBank or bank transfer.

When does my order leave if I pay by bank transfer?

When the payment reaches our account, usually a couple of days later. To speed things up, send us the transfer receipt at shop@laterradipuglia.it.

Do prices include VAT?

Yes, for all private customers in the European Union. For deliveries outside the European Union Italian VAT does not apply: the cart removes it when you choose the delivery country.

Shipping

How much does shipping cost?

It depends on the weight and the zone: in Italy it starts at €6.90 up to 2 kg. The cart works it out before you pay, and you will find all the rates on the shipping page.

How long does it take to arrive?

We usually prepare the order within 24 working hours. In Italy the courier delivers in 24–48 working hours after dispatch, on the islands in 48–72. In Europe it usually takes 4–5 working days.

Which courier do you use?

Mainly BRT in Italy and abroad, SDA in Italy and FedEx for international shipments. We choose the courier each time, based on the destination, the weight of the parcel and current arrangements.

Do you ship abroad?

Yes, to much of Europe, to Switzerland, the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada and Australia. The list of countries with prices is on the shipping page.

Can I collect in person?

Yes, if you are in the province of Lecce: among the shipping methods you will find free collection in Casarano or Cutrofiano. Before you come by, send us a WhatsApp message to agree on a time.

Can I choose the delivery day?

No, the express courier does not take appointments. It is best to have it delivered where there is always someone, for example at the office. If nobody is in, the courier leaves a notice and tries again.

Why don’t you offer free shipping?

Our products are heavy and fragile, and every parcel needs protective packaging. We would rather charge you shipping for what it really costs and give discounts on the products.

Why does the shipment weigh more than the products?

Because the courier also charges for the space the parcel takes up, and our packaging takes up quite a lot of it to protect glass, oil and terracotta. We explain it on the shipping page.

Gifts

Can I send a gift directly to another person?

Yes. Enter their address as the delivery address and yours as the invoice address. We do not put prices or receipts in a gift parcel. See how to place an order.

Can I add gift wrapping and a card?

Yes: in the shipping step tick I would like my order to be gift wrapped and write your message. Or choose one of our ready-made gift boxes.

Can I make up a box with the products I want?

Yes: put the products you like in the cart and choose gift wrapping. We recommend at least 8–10 products, so the parcel does not look empty.

Can I send gifts to several people with a single order?

No, each order goes to a single address: place one order for each person.

When should I order for Christmas?

We recommend ordering by 10–15 December. We ship until 23 December, but over the holidays couriers slow down, and the person receiving the gift must be at home. For companies, see our page on corporate gifts.

Returns and problems

Can I return a product?

Yes, within 14 days of receiving it, without having to explain why. Fresh products and sealed food, once opened, cannot be returned. How to do it: returns and refunds.

A product arrived broken: what do I do?

Sign for the delivery with reservation, take a few photos and write to us within 24 hours at servizioclienti@laterradipuglia.it. We will send you again whatever broke, at no cost to you.

Only part of my parcel has arrived

Sometimes the packages of one order arrive at different times, even the next day. If the rest does not arrive, write to us with the order number: we will check with the courier.

I got the address wrong

Write to us straight away: if the parcel has not left yet, we correct it without any problem. After dispatch the change goes through the courier and may have a cost.

The products

We do. We visit every producer who joins the catalogue in person: we see where they work and taste their products. We work with small producers, not with large-scale retail. Read about us.

A product is sold out: when will it be back?

On the product page leave your email with notify me when available: we write to you as soon as it is back. Some products are seasonal and only come back in their season.

Do you ship cheese and fresh products?

Yes, but only when the weather is cool: they travel in insulated boxes with cooling gel, and in summer shipments of fresh products are suspended. How we ship them is explained on the packaging page.

How long do I wait for a pumo?

Pumi from Grottaglie are made when the order arrives, so it takes a few extra days. For large quantities, or with your company logo, contact us at least a month in advance.
