Handling & Packaging

All orders are carefully hand-packed using protective materials to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.

While we do our best to secure each package, Atelier Fifty6 is not liable for damage that occurs after dispatch, including during third-party courier transit or customer-arranged collection.
​
If You Are Using Your Own Courier or Collecting In-Store
Once your order leaves our premises—whether collected in person or by a courier of your choice—you assume full responsibility for the condition of the parcel.
​
Local Pickup Care Guidelines
For delicate items like glassware, ceramics, or candles, we recommend the following:
-
Place the parcel flat in the boot or backseat of the vehicle.
-
Avoid placing the item in direct sunlight or heat.
-
Keep the air conditioning on during transport.
-
Drive slowly and carefully, especially when stopping or turning.
-
Go directly to your destination—avoid unnecessary stops.
​
We trust you understand that transporting our handmade pieces with care is just as important as the love we put into creating them.
