RETURNS
We hope you love your purchase! However, should you need to make a return, you will have 14 days from your order date to do so.
For international Orders: We do not accept exchanges or returns for international orders. FedEx charges us (the account holder) based on the size of and weight of the return shipment, and as we cannot control what packaging the parcel is returned in, we often get billed 3 or 4 x the amount originally quoted, and therefore cannot guarantee a refund based off of the shipping costs.
For international orders: Only items below $100 have 'insurance' included by FedEx.
For domestic returns please see details below (South Africa):
