Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

1. Who produces the merchandising?

All clothing and headwear are produced by Moradness, a clothing manufacturer specialized in lifestyle garments in motorsports. Daniel Morad and Jessica Hofman are the two faces bedind the brand, well known in the paddocks and it made sense to go forward with them for the production of the t-shirts, hoodies and caps.

The race posters are (proudly) printed in Coimbra, my hometown.

2. What are the products made of?

The easiest answer is: comfortable materials. I travel a lot and so I like to wear clothing and accessories that make me feel good and comfy.

T-shirts: 95% cotton + 5% spandex, 180gsm

Hoodies: 100% cotton with soft fleece, 325gsm 

Caps: 100% cotton

Posters: semi gloss finish paper, 140g

3. How can I take care of my clothing and headwear?

Clothing

– Always wash inside out to preserve the printing as long as possible.

– Wash in machine cold (30) on delicate.

– Hang dry. No tumble dry as it is cotton and it will shrink.

– We recommend using the dryer machine only once the clothes are dry. Putting them in the dryer for a few minutes will bring back the softness of the fabric.

Headwear

– Gently wash with soap and water using a soft brush to remove dirt or stain.

– Let air dry. Some people wash their hats in the washing machine on delicate but we don’t recommend it as it could damage the round shape of the hat.

– You can use hot steam to get back the initial shape.

5. I didn’t get a confirmation e-mail of my order, what should I do?

Start by checking your spam folder to see if the confirmation email was mistakenly filtered. If you can’t find it, get in touch with my team, by email, to shop@filipealbuquerque.com and we’ll be happy to help you.

6. How long does it take for a pre-order product to become available?

All pre-order products are already in production but you need to wait for the estimated time of launch for my team to start handling your orders.

Please consider that whenever you make a pre-order purchase, the credit or debit card is authorized and charged for the total amount of your order.

7. Can I place an order with both in stock and pre-order products?

Yes, you can. Your order will be shipped when all your ordered products are available. If you  wish to receive your purchased items in two or more partial deliveries, please get in touch with my  team, by email, to shop@filipealbuquerque.com. In this case additional shipping fees will be applied.

8. Can I ask for an autographed card with a dedication?

Each order includes an autographed card and a sticker. It is possible to ask for a small dedication on the card, just get in touch with my team, by e-mail, to shop@filipealbuquerque.com. In these cases, I do not guarantee the delivery deadlines because I may be out of the country and it may take a few extra days to be able to deal with this matter. This is the difference between a simple copy or an order that is delivered with a personal touch.

9. What are discount codes?

In some special moments, I can announce discount codes that will be advertised on my social media. These codes allow you to get a discount on the value of each item.

Discount codes have a defined time period for their use, so it is not worth using previous discount codes because they have expired.

To benefit from the discount, simply enter the corresponding code when you are checking out.

10. What means of payment are accepted?

Visa, Mastercard and American Express.

11. Is the payment  secure?

If you are not at home during delivery hours (which is from Monday to Friday, during working hours), I recommend that you indicate an alternative address as a signature may be requested at the time of delivery.

In this case, you will be responsible for any fees that may occur and for shipping the order back to our Portuguese address. This amount will be withdrawn when we refund your order.

20. How are exchanges and returns processed?

It is possible to return the item(s) within 14 days from the delivery date. It is not possible to make exchanges.

Exchanges

It is not possible to exchange any product and the reason is quite simple: as there are few units of each item, I cannot guarantee that, at the time of exchange, there is availability of another size or another desired product.

I understand that you may feel frustrated if you don’t get a specific product, so my team is here to help, please contact us by email at shop@filipealbuquerque.com to see how we can help.

We recommend that you use a shipping method that allows tracking, as we are not responsible for the loss of your return.
