Shipping for made-to-order products

Some handcrafted ceramics are not available for immediate delivery, but can be custom-ordered and made specifically for you. This option allows you to purchase items that aren't immediately available, while maintaining the quality and craftsmanship that characterizes each piece.

Processing times

Mixed orders: available items + items to order

If your order includes both ready-to-deliver items (available ceramics, pastry shop, DispensaSicula) and made-to-order ceramics, the system generates two shipments :

Immediate shipping of available items, to allow you to receive them as soon as possible.
Second shipment as soon as the custom ceramic has been completed and is ready for delivery.

This approach was chosen because many customers want to receive available items immediately (for example, as a gift or on a specific date), without having to wait for the time required for the custom-order ceramics to be made.

Shipping costs

If you're ordering two items, there may be an additional charge for the second delivery. For Italy, this charge is always eliminated once the minimum order of €120 is reached.

All shipping information (number of deliveries, times, and costs) is always visible and clearly indicated at checkout.

Do you want just one delivery?

If you prefer to receive everything in one delivery (including items already in stock), you can: Simply contact our Customer Service before purchasing .

Upon your request, we will manage the order with a single shipment , so that you receive all the products together with the completion of the ceramics to order and avoid the possible cost of the second shipment.

Assistance

Our Customer Service is available to help you choose the solution best suited to your needs (immediate shipping of available items or a single delivery).
