Delay

HI-FI DI PRINZIO cannot be held accountable for possible delays to repair goods when repair has been committed to the Authorised Technical Service or by a technical service of your choice.

Returns

When guarantee states that a product can be returned, it must be returned in its original packaging, complete of all his contents (package, documentation, manuals, cables etc.) To avoid further damages to the original packaging, when possible we recommend to put it in one more package; please DO NOT affix labels and adhesive tapes on the original packaging.
