Why Maintenance Matters

Proper care ensures the longevity and beauty of your vancasso dinnerware. Follow these tips to keep your set in the best condition.

Key Tips

1：Keep It Dry for Longevity: To maintain the beauty and quality of your dinnerware, make sure all pieces are completely dry before storing.

2：Soft Cloth: Use a soft cloth to gently wipe each piece, ensuring it's dry before storing.

3：Ventilated Storage: Store your dinnerware in a well-ventilated cupboard or shelf to prevent moisture buildup.

4：Smart Stacking: Stack your dinnerware carefully to avoid chipping or scratching. Use padding between each piece if possible.

5：Regular Checks: Periodically inspect for signs of wear or damage. Clean or replace items as needed.

6：Mild Detergents: Stick to mild detergents to maintain the original colors and finish of your dinnerware.

7：Hand Wash Recommended: For delicate items or those with intricate designs, hand washing is advised.

8：Temperature Caution: Avoid exposing your dinnerware to extreme temperatures, such as taking it directly from the refrigerator to the microwave.

Delivery Timelines and Costs

Please check the estimated regular delivery times and costs for your region as follows:

Package Tracking

Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive an email containing a tracking number along with a link to track your parcel. Please note that it may take 1 to 3 business days for the tracking information to become available. After the package leaves our facility, it is sent to the logistics center, where it is scanned and the tracking status is updated. It is not unusual for updates to be delayed for more than 24 hours while the package is in transit.

To track your parcel, you can click on the 'Track Order' link located in the footer of our website or visit 17track.net.

Shipping Address Modification

Once your order is placed, the ability to change your shipping address depends on the order's shipping status:

If a Tracking Number Has Been Issued:

Unfortunately, we cannot change the address after a tracking number has been assigned to your shipment due to logistics restrictions.

For U.S. Customers: Our deliveries are handled by UPS. We are unable to assist with address changes on orders shipped via UPS. You may attempt to contact UPS directly to request an address change, but please be aware that such modifications are rarely successful.

For European Customers: Deliveries are carried out by DPD or DHL. You have a few options to try and change your address:

• Online Modification: Log into your DPD or DHL account, locate your order, and use the option to change the address as per the website or app instructions.
• Customer Service Call: Call the DPD or DHL customer service hotline, provide your tracking number and verify your identity to request an address change.
• Email Notification: If your package is already in transit, you can use the change of address link provided in the DPD or DHL email notifications you receive about your shipment. Please note that address changes are subject to timing restrictions, and we recommend contacting DPD or DHL as soon as possible.

For UK Customers: The process is similar to that for European customers, with shipments possibly handled by YODEL, DPD, or Royal Mail. Please follow the same steps as described for European customers.

If You Have Not Yet Received the Shipping Confirmation Email:

There is still a chance to adjust your address if the package has not yet been dispatched. Please contact us immediately at support@vancassotableware.com with your order details. Be aware that there can be a delay between the shipment of your order and the shipping notification; thus, we cannot guarantee the address can be updated in time.

Address Accuracy Advisory:

We encourage you to carefully review your shipping address before completing your purchase. Incorrect address details may lead to delivery issues for which vancasso cannot be held responsible. We appreciate your attention to this detail to help ensure a smooth delivery process. If you notice an error after your order is placed, please contact our customer service immediately to assist you with potential corrections.
