How do you pack the products to make sure they arrive in good shape?

We take several steps to ensure your product is very well protected during shipment:
  • We use the most sophisticated packaging technology available. A special type of liquid foam molds around the piece to protect it and then solidifies, creating a perfect fit protection.
  • We use double corrugated boxes, which together with the liquid foam, form a robust shelter.

When do you charge my credit card?

Your credit card will not be charged until we ship out the products you ordered.

When you place an order, we request an authorization on your credit card. You card is not charged at that time. We simply make sure the card is valid and has sufficient funds. When we ship the product we request that the card be charged and it is then when the bank initiates settlement.

What if the amount of the Gift Card is a little less or a little more than the product I want to purchase?

If the amount on the Gift Card is bigger than the price of the product you want, the remainder will be credited to your Talavera.com account for future use.

If, on the other hand, the amount on the Gift Card is less than the price of the product you want, then you will be asked to pay the difference during checkout.
