  • Shipping address changes must be requested through our Customer Support Team. Changes can only be made before the order has been shipped.

  • Arete Studios works with third-party shipping carriers. Once a package has been handed over to the carrier, shipping times and delivery operations are outside of our control. Arete Studios remains responsible for orders while they are in transit and until they are marked as delivered.

    Once a package has been delivered to the shipping address provided at checkout, responsibility transfers to the customer. We recommend monitoring your tracking information to ensure a smooth delivery and prevent lost or misplaced packages.
