Return Policy

In order to provide consistent customer service and product support, the following procedures will be followed when customers request a product return or credit for spoiled products.

Returns
All returns are at the discretion of Dolce Europa and must be approved by management.

Each returned product must be in an unbroken case (no product pieces missing) with undamaged packaging, allowing the product to be resold.

Credit for damaged products
All credits are issued at the discretion of Dolce Europa.

Customers requesting credit for a spoiled product must provide the product for inspection.

If an employee accepts the return of a spoiled product to Dolce Europa, it does not constitute a grant of credit.

When a customer requests a credit, they need to be questioned on their handling procedures; storing, defrosting and serving. Storage temperatures need to be verified.

The majority of spoilage in the past has resulted from inappropriate storage and handling. Frozen products such as gelato or fruit ripieno need to stored at 0 degrees or below. Melting will occur above 5 degrees. Defrosted products need to be stored between 35–45 degrees. Most pastry products without cream will last 3–6 days stored between 40-45 degrees.
