Shipping and Returns

We know you can't wait to receive your piece.

When does your piece leave our workshop?

Order on a working day before 4pm and your piece leaves the same day. Three out of every four orders leave within one working day. We don't ship on Saturdays or Sundays.

Gold pieces are made to order, especially for you. Three out of four leave our workshop within 3 working days, and the maximum is 15 working days.

This preparation time is always added to the delivery times below.

A note on gold pieces: gold pieces and orders above €299 always travel by insured express courier (UPS or DHL). Registered mail has tracking, but it doesn't allow us to declare a value for many destinations — we'd rather make sure your piece arrives.

If nobody is at the address you gave us, the courier will call your mobile directly. Please make sure the number you give us is correct.

Our couriers meet their delivery times in 95% of cases.

If your order is urgent, please call +351 920 018 184 or email info@filigranaportuguesa.pt.

Additional information

An incorrect address may cause your parcel to be returned to us, which creates extra costs. Please check your address carefully (we don't want you waiting any longer than necessary for your wonderful piece!). An invoice travels with every shipment and is issued once your order has been paid.

Customs and duties

• European Union

Orders placed within the EU are exempt from customs duties. You pay nothing beyond the price you see.

• Outside the European Union

Orders may be subject to import duties and local taxes, paid by the recipient on delivery. These amounts are set by the authorities of the destination country — Filigrana Portuguesa neither controls them nor receives them.

• United States

Since 29 August 2025 the United States no longer exempts low-value shipments. All orders are subject to import duties, whatever their value. The courier collects that amount on arrival, plus its own clearance fee.

We are entirely available to help with any question your country's customs may raise.

Returns

PLEASE NOTE: we do not accept returns on made-to-order pieces (personalised pieces, or gold pieces not held in stock).

We are happy to refund any product purchased, provided that:

• You return the product in perfect condition (as sold), in its original packaging and with the invoice;

We cannot be held responsible for items lost in the post on their way back to us; we recommend using an insured, tracked service.

Return costs

If the product has any kind of defect, we cover every cost. If you are returning it for any other reason, the shipping cost is deducted from the amount refunded.

The returns process

The returns process begins only once we have received your products. When they reach us we will email you and start the process as quickly as we can. Please note that it may take up to 15 working days for the money to reach you, depending on the payment method you used.
