As soon as it has been posted, we shall e-mail you with the tracking number of the parcel. Courier services are available on request.
CALCULATING THE POSTAGE AND HANDLING FEE: We determine the postage cost using our post office tariffs (which increase yearly on the 1st of April), and gets calculated according to the weight of each package. Small packages get registered, and has a prescribed fee. We add a flat rate per order for our actual expenses (packaging material, fuel etc.) of R 30 (about US $ 2½), calculated according to the exchange rate on the day the invoice is made out. Only on really big orders, where much more than the usual packaging material is required, we charge R35 (about US $ 3). Then the prescribed banking cost gets determined as a percentage of the overall cost, and automatically gets deducted by PayPal and our local exchange bank before we receive the funds.
INSURANCE: Insurance is optional (available only on parcels weighing more than 2 kg - app. 4.4 pounds) and will amount to 3% of the value of the order, to a maximum value of R5 000 (± US $ 415). All specimens are posted within 24 hours of payment confirmation, except where it is over a weekend or public holiday, in which case it will be posted on the first working day thereafter.
CUSTOMS AND IMPORT DUTY FEES: If your country charges such fees, it will have to be for your account.
PRIVACY POLICY: Since payment will be going through PayPal, we shall have no access to any customer's banking or credit card details.
RETURNS POLICY: If you are not completely satisfied with the specimens, you may return them within 48 hours of receipt by you for a full refund of the specimen price, minus 10% handling fee, with a minimum charge of $15. Return postage and insurance will have to be paid by you. The parcel must be returned in its original packaging, and must be shipped off within no more than 48 hours of you having received it, for the refund to be valid.
