Shipping & Returns Policy
Shipping
Because of the unique and personal nature of Piche Atelier, shipping is not “one-size-fits-all.” Each piece is carefully wrapped, packed, and shipped with the same attention I gave when selecting it.
Where Your Piece Ships From
Antwerp, Belgium – our hub for Europe and U.S. shipments. We work with our trusted partners at Gosselin Logistics & Movers to coordinate tailored shipping solutions.
Los Angeles, USA – select pieces are available here for local pick-up (Venice, CA), U.S. delivery, and seasonal pop-ups around LA.
Alpe d’Huez, France – seasonal and retreat-based sales, with limited shipping directly from the farmhouse.
Each product listing notes the current location of the piece. Please check before purchase, as shipping times and costs depend on where the piece is stored.
Smaller, Fragile Pieces
Plates, bowls, glassware, and other delicate objects are individually wrapped carefully for travel. These items are shipped via trusted carriers and may require a little patience depending on location.
Larger Furniture & Heavier Pieces
Items such as sofas, armoires, or oversized tables are shipped via sea freight (with air freight available upon request). These shipments require a conversation to set expectations and coordinate delivery.
Estimated Timing
U.S. Orders – Items already in Los Angeles usually ship within 5–10 business days.
European Orders – Pieces in Antwerp or France typically ship within 5–15 business days.
International Orders – Timing varies based on method (air vs. sea freight). You’ll receive a tailored estimate upon checkout or if you contact me prior to purchasing.
Because Piche Atelier is a one-woman operation, I ask for patience—shipping may take longer than big-box shops, but every object receives my personal care and attention.
Pick-Up Options
Venice, California – Local pickup available for U.S. clients.
Antwerp, Belgium – Showroom visits available by appointment.
