FAQs
Do you ship internationally? If so, which countries do you ship to?
Yes! For international shipping, we partner with Global-e. Global-e is a trusted e-commerce provider whose solution allows us to offer the best possible experience to our international customers.
Please select the country changer dropdown menu to see which countries we ship to and select the appropriate country. Once you're in the checkout process, you'll see local payment methods and calculations for shipping costs, duties, taxes, and other applicable customs fees.
When will my order be processed?
Once your order is confirmed and accepted, our fulfillment center strives to process it as quickly as possible, ensuring it is ready within 1 to 2 business days. If you place your order before 12 noon, it is likely to ship the same day, although this cannot always be guaranteed. Orders placed on weekends and holidays will be processed the next business day. During sales periods, due to increased order volume, an additional 2 to 3 business days may be required to process orders.
My order has been shipped. When will it arrive?
Once your order has been dispatched to our fulfillment center, delivery times will vary depending on the shipping method selected at checkout, the shipping company used, and your location relative to our warehouse in Barcelona. Please note that delivery times are in addition to processing times.

Are duties and taxes included in the checkout process?

If duties and taxes are charged during checkout, they will appear as a separate item. If they are already included in the product price, there will be a note in the checkout process to clarify this. Some countries require duties and taxes to be paid upon delivery and will be the customer's responsibility. This will be indicated during checkout for complete transparency before placing the order.
What should I do if my order has been returned to its origin because I couldn't be found during either of the two delivery attempts and I didn't pick it up at the pickup point?
You must contact us at orders@carmensays.com so we can offer you a solution. If you'd like us to reship your order, you'll be responsible for the shipping costs. Additionally, if you prefer a refund, please note that the shipping cost will be deducted.

Avoid bleach and use environmentally friendly detergents. Avoid the dryer and hang the garment to dry when possible. This saves electricity and prevents fiber degradation. Iron at low temperature if necessary.
