Delivery and Returns
Christmas Special
For Christmas, we have extended our deadline for exchanges. Orders placed between 18 November 2024 and 20 December 2024 can be exchanged or returned until 15 January 2025.
Gift voucher
When you select at the checkout that you would like a gift receipt, you receive a receipt together with your products without mentioning the value of the purchase. This way, the person receiving it as a gift can exchange it themselves, following our rules.
Delivery
Delivery times vary depending on the product and are indicated on the item page. If there is a delay, our Customer Support team will contact you. For orders with several items, the delivery time will be that of the product with the longest lead time. Orders outside mainland Portugal may have longer delivery times; if this is the case, you will be notified.
After dispatch, we send two emails: the first confirming dispatch and the second with the tracking number. If you don't receive them, check your spam folder before contacting us. If the address is incorrect and the parcel returns, you will be charged new postage.
Product availability depends on existing stock. In the event of a shortage, we will inform you by e-mail of a new delivery date.
