Product questions

The majority of our products are from México, particularly regions and states that are recognized for specializing in handmade artisanal goods: Oaxaca, Michoacán, Guanajuato, Puebla, Hidalgo, Chiapas. Our food products will have the place of production listed. There are a few items that are made locally and domestically.

Most of our products are lead-free. We have to prove that it’s lead-free when we pass it through customs with certification. We do additional testing upon arrival at the shop as an extra precaution. Any items that do have lead will be marked clearly.

We make gift giving simple at Casa y Cocina: you tell us a little about the recipient and we curate your gift to perfection. They are wrapped à la Artelexia, with tissue paper, ribbon, pin, stickers, postcards and a dash of confetti so that your loved one receives a party in a box!

NOTE: EACH PACKAGE WILL RECEIVE MORE PRODUCT THAN EXPECTED. AN ASSORTMENT OF STICKERS, POSTCARDS, AND SURPRISE GOODIES ARE INCLUDED BASED ON AVAILABILITY AND CAN'T BE REQUESTED.

You can send a gift card to a loved one, just make sure you pick whether it’ll be used online or in-store. We will send it directly to them, gift wrapped if it’s for in-store purchase.

Yes! We have worked with many companies and organizations to put together large orders of items and goodie bags/boxes for special events. Please contact customerservice@artelexia.com to get started.

Damages

Please inspect your purchase as soon as it arrives. Damage claims must be made within 72 hours of the package arrival. If you have received an item that is damaged or defective, contact us immediately. Please include your order number, photos of the package and product, and your contact information.

Returns & Exchanges

All sales are final. Please read through the product descriptions, review your cart very thoroughly, and email or call prior to ordering if you have any questions or concerns. We cannot accept returns or exchanges.

1. Because you do not want to purchase items that someone else used, even if it was only used one time. We do not want to sell you items that someone else has used.

2. As you know, the items we carry are manufactured all over Mexico (and other parts of the world) and sold locally in the US for the convenience of our customers. It is not possible for us to return these back to the manufacturers as the management and shipping costs are exorbitant. To entertain any sort of return, we would have to incur at least 30% additional cost, meaning we’d have to pass that cost back to you, the customer. Instead we ask you to ensure you are buying the product you are going to keep and use.
