I offer standardized shipping within the European Union via UPS or DHL.

If you are located outside the European Union and wish to make a purchase, please contact me at contact@emmapalacio.com so I can organize your order and shipping personally.

To manage a return, you must contact me at contact@emmapalacio.com, indicating the order number and reasons for the return. Shipping costs for returns are the customer’s responsibility, except in cases of errors in the shipment by me. If the product arrives in a different condition than when received, the amount will not be refunded. This is especially important to me since I sell decorative pieces made of delicate materials that, if broken, cannot be repaired.
Refunds will be made using the same payment method used in the original purchase within 14 days of receiving the returned products.
10. Product Warranty
All ceramic items sold by www.emmapalacio.com are handmade in Barcelona, Spain. Each piece is unique and handmade in small batches, resulting in variations in shape and finish. Glaze variations may include, but are not limited to: small holes, glaze thickness, and small stains. Variations are not considered defects and will not be eligible for return or replacement.
The measurements provided in the product descriptions are approximate; there may be small millimeter variations between different pieces due to their artisanal production.
Stoneware and earthenware are semi-porous materials; sweat and condensation occur naturally and may leave water marks on surfaces. I am not responsible for marks left by the ceramics on surfaces. The products offered in my online store are subject to legal warranty according to applicable laws. If you receive a defective or damaged product, please contact me at contact@emmapalacio.com to arrange for replacement or repair.
11. Colors
I cannot guarantee that the colors on the website are completely equivalent to the actual colors of the items. This partly depends on the color settings of your computer and monitor.
