PRODUCTS AND PRODUCERS

All the Sellers (Growers – Processors) have to be in possession of a TRADING LICENSE, support the batch sale project and achieve favourable outcome of the controls of Save By Booking SRL's qualified personnel.

savebybooking.com is a platform that allows you to purchase directly from the Producer only within a batch sale mechanism which permits him to optimise his time and save resources.

The identity and the story of the Seller (Producer – Processor) are to be found on the page of each product or surfing through the producers in the provided section of this site to be reached through home → PRODUCERS

BOOKABLE OFFERS

As long as the seller still has stock available, the offers are usually repeated after their expiration date.

The offer expiration date is the moment in which the order is transmitted to the Seller (Producer – Processor) which the necessary production and/or processing time as well as the necessary delivery time to the Client's place is to be added to, in order to obtain a reliably reasonable estimated date of delivery.

BOOKING (HOW TO PURCHASE)

The booking is a commitment to purchase which will only be carried out in case at moment of the Offer expiration date there can be met the booked quantities or more than the minimum quantities requested by the “Batch” sale. You can book more than one unit, which will be converted in a purchase only when the minimum quantity can be met; should that minimum not be reached, your booking will be cancelled without charging you any money. The booking has been inserted in the process of savebybooking.com in order to optimise the Producer's and Processor's work as well as to guarantee the products gets delivered as soon as they have been processed.

Clicking on “BOOK” will cause the forward of the BOOKING, the Customer expressly acknowledges the order being transmitted through the Booking, and in case the request can be met, within the fixed expiration date, the minimum quantity for the activation of the "Batch" will implicate the liability to pay the sum indicated in the BOOKING by bank transfer to Save By Booking SRL

In order to find out the status of your booking, you can see on the respective product page on savebybooking.com how many units are still missing to complete the minimum quantity of the "Batch" for the activation of the purchase.
In case the minimum quantity of the "Batch" required to activate the purchase has already been reached, you should have received an email in this regard ( proof of PURCHASE); or check the status of your booking in your reserved area.

You can share your booking or your purchase with everybody by "word-of-mouth" recommendation through the social networks as well as copying the link by mail.

At the expiration date of the offer of one specific product, there are two possibilities:

  1. In case the offer has reached the minimum"Batch" quantity for the activation of the purchase, it will be converted into a purchase and you should have received an email with "proof of Purchase" ;
  2. In case the offer has NOT reached the minimum "Batch" quantity, there will NOT be activated any purchase, your booking simply expires without any cost for you, and you will receive an email: "Booking expired” ; your BOOKING has expired and the authorisation for the collection of funds through PayPal will automatically be withdrawn.

PURCHASE (BOOKING ACTIVATED)

In case the minimum "Batch" quantity for the activation of the purchase has already been reached (visible in the bar provided on the product page showing the booked entities without flag), every booked unit will immediately be converted into a purchase with respective collection of the payment, until the Offer Expitation Date.

Clicking on “PURCHASE” causes the forwarding of your order with IMMEDIATE PAYMENT, with shipping within the date of delivery indicated in the product data.

TheMinimum and Maximum Quantity have been inserted in the process of savebybooking in order to enable the Seller (Producer – Processor) to optimise his own work and always deliver products at the best price to the buyers.
The Minimum "Batch" quantity for the activation of the purchase is to say that it is the minimum quantity of a product that allows the Producer – Processor to optimise his work and not have to store any stock on his shelves.
The Maximum "Batch" quantity for the activation of the purchaseis the quantity limit over which the Producer – Processor might not have enough stock available to meet the requests.

The activation of the purchase, which is the conversion of a booking into a purchase, will always be made once (and only if) the total quantity of the units booked by everybody reaches the minimum "Batch" quantity for the activation of a purchase, no later than the Offer expiration date.
As for the bar graph, it is the moment when the coloured bar graph reaches the orange vertical line.

The purchase confirmation is always made by savebybooking by sending an email with "Proof of Purchase" as well as by PayPal by sending an email with: "Your payment in favour of Save By Booking SRL has been carried out successfully"

It is the Seller (Producer – Processor) who defines the price of his products.

Save by Booking asks the Sellers to use a growing pricing in order to benefit the earliest possible purchasers who, by sharing the offer, help to reach the minimum "Batch" quantity for the activation of the purchase, within the order expiration date, contributing in this way to save additional advertising and marketing costs, since failing to reach the minimum quantity, they would not have any profit themselves.

The possible payment methods are PAYPAL, credit card as well as pre-paid credit cards, always through the PayPal circuit, even without registration.

The collection of the payment is carried out only at the moment of the activation of the purchase, always followed by an email from savebybooking with "Proof of Purchase" as well as an email from PayPal with: "Your payment in favour of Save By Booking SRL has been carried out successfully"

Should you wish to request an invoice, please send an email with your personal data to sales@savebybooking.com at the same time of your purchase, however no later than the offer expiration date.

STATE OF PURCHASE

The relevant date of delivery is the one indicated in the offer since the moment of your booking, and the process during the status of production and the status of shipment can be checked on the site in your Customer → my activities → Purchase.

EXPIRED OFFER (BOOKING NOT ACTIVATED)

Please, check whether the offer still appears in the section “expired offers” in your Reserved Area.
You should have received a mail announcing "offer expired", and if not, please send us an email to complain@savebybooking.com.

DELIVERY

Once you have entered the Booking, and before the Offer activation, the delivery address can be modified only by sending an email (containing the complete data according to the format and sending attached copy of the booking mail) to delivery@savebybooking.com.
The email message to delivery@savebybooking.com has to be sent at least 10 days before the date of delivery.
You can only be sure the delivery address has successfully been changed once you receive a respective confirmation email.
The delivery fee might change as a result of the modification of the delivery address, and in this case, it might be necessary to add or refund the varied sum.
After the Offer activation, it is usually not possible to modify data concerning the address of delivery; it is however possible to send an email to delivery@savebybooking.com (with attached copy of the booking mail and containing the complete data according to the format) in order to consider the request, without any guarantee that the modification is possible in case the goods are already in their way.

Save By Booking SRL has shipping as well as delivery partners who contribute to the optimising of the movement of goods and to the causing of the least possible energy expenditure, at costs that are in conformity with the offered service/quality costs.
At the moment of your Booking, it is possible to select the shipping or pickup method in your area, from the methods offered by Save By Booking SRL. You are usually offered various solutions in order to guarantee the best price-performance ratio: pickup point, traditional delivery, etc.
Please find more detailed information on the shipping directly in the detail of every single offer.

The Save By Booking SRL's process differs from other platforms that benefit from the direct delivery by the producer, in order not to burden the producer with this charge, since we believe in of the value of the carrying out of his primary activity.
The collaboration with a partner for the delivery or the pickup helps optimising the movement of goods and causing the least possible energy expenditure, at costs that are in conformity with the offered service/quality costs as well as reducing useless waste of time which keeps the Producer – Processor off his own work.
It is however possible for the Producer to offer the pickup at the factory at an agreed date.

Your purchase will be delivered with due regard to the delivery date indicated in the offer since the moment of your Booking and also given in the email: "Proof of Purchase" , also to be seen on the site in your Customer section (Purchases) .

The Seller (Producer – Processor) dispatches the goods directly from his factory to the given destination of the Consumers.
If necessary, Save By Booking SRL provides logistic support for the Producers but never manipulates the goods in any way.

In case you wish to purchase various products from the same Producer with all the same delivery date, we still haven't developed any automated procedure which helps optimise delivery fees.
In the case of multiple activation of Purchase with the same delivery date, we will refund you the difference directly through PayPal.
Please, contact us at delivery@savebybooking.com in case the procedure is not carried out correctly.
