international shipping and black friday

The fact that Black Friday was solved by raising the price of everything in the process is a strange solution, to say the least.

The international shipping fees are much higher than other similar companies. They put much care to carefully package everything up.

We had to pay taxes after your store in Florence when we were there in August this year assured us that we will not have to pay anything more than what we paid especially taxes! We were told that you are very experienced in sending to Canada and told us to write to you if anything wrong happened! Thanks.

Dear Alex, many thanks for sharing your review. We already answered you via email, but it is good to explain it here too. The custom taxes that you paid, are unfortunately related not to us but to custom duties, and it is something not related either to the shipper, which is us in this occasion, and to the courier, but only to the custom. Hope to see you back soon.

Nino's responded quickly on their end to getting my order filled. However, US customers should be aware that US customs can delay receiving order. Nino's shipped within days of my ordering on-line. The package arrived in US on 11/2 and I received it on 11/28. Nino's candy is delicious and worth the wait!

Great experience.

It was a little tricky to navigate the website as a non-Italian speaker, but I got it figured out with the help of Google. It was an (almost) last minute birthday gift and I was worried it might not make it in time. My order shipped from Italy to the US east coast very quickly and made it in perfect condition the morning of the birthday. I already knew what I ordered was delicious, so the gift was well received. Now I need to put in my Christmas order!

Dear Gilbert, many thanks for your lovely words, and we are happy to know that you received all and enjoy it for the birthday. In regards to the language figure, on the top of the page you can choose the flag and language that you wish, and all will be automatically translated in your language. This way, next time you will not need to translate from Italian :) Hope to see you back.

This is the best seasoning I have ever tasted! I bought it while in Italy. I made the best dishes of my life and ran out way too fast! I couldn’t get enough of that amazing flavor. I had to order more. I can’t believe I had to ship it to Utah from Italy. I wish I could get it in the states. It did come sooner than expected and I am so happy to have it for the holidays!!!!

I got mine delivered in Canada and they were delicious. I was in Italy and had a sample of nino and friends chocolate but for some reason I didn't buy any when I was there. So when I got back to Canada I was craving it but I couldn't remember the name of the chocolate I had. I went online and connected nino and friends on WhatsApp and I described the kind of chocolate I had, they sent me the link to it and I ordered 3!!!

Store great, but check seals before leaving.

Our experience in the store was delightful. Everyone was helpful. We tasted and purchased several items. Unfortunately, one of the pistachio creme jars was not completely closed (even though the paper seal between lid and jar was in place). It leaked into our suitcase and was a loss. :( So disappointing.

Great shop in Sorrento!

We found this store last spring while visiting Sorrento and brought some candies back home for my mother in law. She raved about them so much we ordered her some for Christmas! Would definitely visit this store in person again if possible. Employees were very friendly and helpful.
