Order accuracy
Please make sure your mobile number, email address, and delivery address are all correct at checkout. If delivery fails because of incorrect contact information provided by the customer, the customer is responsible for any extra costs incurred.
If an order is cancelled after a failed delivery caused by incorrect customer details, we deduct 7% from the total order amount as a processing fee, or the customer can choose a full-value voucher for future orders.
Returns & return shipping
Due to the cost of express delivery in South Africa, we do not provide free return shipping. If you decide to return goods, both the original send-out and the return shipping charges are deducted from the refund. For details see our return and refund policy.
For an order that originally qualified for free shipping but drops below the R 800 threshold after partial return, a flat R 99 will be applied as the original send-out cost.
