We regret that we have no control over these charges and cannot provide you with the exact cost, as customs policies and import duties differ between countries. We advise you to contact your local customs office to inquire about the applicable rules and regulations.

NIEVES by Nieves Álvarez accepts returns for items purchased on our website, provided they are in their original condition, within a maximum period of 14 days from the original purchase date. Please note that items must be unopened, unused, and in their original packaging for us to accept the return. Upon arrival at our warehouse, we will conduct an inspection of the returned products to confirm their good condition. 

Our return policy includes two options:

Free Returns:

  • Shipping and return costs are free (in Spain, mainland) when products are returned in exchange for a voucher. This voucher will be equivalent to the amount of the returned products and can be used at any time without an expiration date at www.nievesbeauty.com

Return at the Customer's Expense:

  • Items can be returned in exchange for a refund, which will be processed using the same payment method used for the purchase. In this case, the amount of the returned products will be refunded, excluding shipping and return costs, which will be borne by the customer.
  • Once the return is approved, the refund will be processed within a maximum period of 10 business days.

 

For international orders (placed from outside Spain), it's important for customers to be aware that they will bear the responsibility for all shipping and return costs. As a result, any refunds processed will exclude the costs associated with shipping and returns.

If you receive a product in a defective condition, please contact our customer service team immediately at contacto@nievesbeauty.com.

Once the return request is approved, we will initiate the refund process within a maximum of 10 business days. Please note that shipping costs will not be refunded. The refund will be issued using the same payment method chosen by the customer during the initial order placement.

If the order is returned due to errors in the delivery data provided by the client, multiple unsuccessful delivery attempts, or the package is not collected from the selected delivery point within the established timeframe, it will be returned to our facilities. The shipping and return costs will not be reimbursed. It is the customer's responsibility to provide accurate delivery information and ensure their availability at the specified address to receive the package. We strongly advise double-checking the delivery details during the ordering process to avoid any potential inconvenience. This policy is implemented to maintain the efficiency and effectiveness of our delivery service.
