Shipping the product
The seller sends the product to the shipping company's warehouse or base. Delivery methods include self-shipping and collection requests, but if you use an agency, the agency will send the item to the agency, receive it, and ship it to Italy. Depending on the shipping method, the agency may provide tracking numbers and shipping insurance.
In this case, you will need to fill out the invoice yourself.
