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

If you have chosen a pre-order item, this period only starts after the shipment.

Products from the online store can be personalized, with an autograph or dedication. For this reason, they may take longer to be sent. Delivery times are counted from the dispatch date.

If cancellation is not possible, the products will be sent to you anyway, you will only have to refuse them upon receipt. The items will be returned to us and your money will be refunded (only after we have received the products minus the initial shipping costs).

We do not accept returns or cancellations for personalized orders.

If you choose to decline your order, you will be responsible for any fees the order may incur and for the cost of shipping it to our address in Portugal. This amount will be taken from the total refund of your order.

If your order has been returned to our store, you will be responsible for repaying the shipping costs so that we can ship it again. If the order is not claimed within 8 days, you will be responsible for any fees that may occur and for shipping the order to our Portuguese address. This amount will be withdrawn when we refund your order.
