Posso spedire il reso per posta?

Can I send the return by post?

Pronunciation

'Spedire' — spe-DI-re. Three syllables.

When to use it

Use for online purchases or when the shop is far away. For defective items or wrong deliveries, the seller must pay return shipping. For change-of-mind returns, check the policy.

What it means

'Spedire' means to send or dispatch. 'Per posta' means by post. In Italian e-commerce, returns are usually handled via specific couriers with prepaid labels. 'Per posta' is general — you may need to ask specifically 'con quale corriere?'

Asks if they arrange collection.

Will you send me a prepaid label?

Cultural Note

Poste Italiane is the standard postal service but BRT, SDA, and GLS are faster for courier returns. Some shops only accept returns via their specific courier partner — always check before paying for postage yourself.
