Where products are damaged, defective or incorrect, please notify us as soon as reasonably possible.

To assist us in processing your claim, please provide:
-
Your order number.

A description of the issue.

Store credit.
6. Return Shipping
If the return is due to:
-
Our error,
-
A defective product, or
-
A damaged item,
we will arrange or reimburse the reasonable cost of return shipping where appropriate.
If you are returning an item for any other approved reason, you will generally be responsible for the return shipping costs.
Original shipping charges are non-refundable unless required by law.
7. Refunds
Once we receive and inspect your returned item, we will notify you of the outcome.
If your refund is approved, it will be processed using the original payment method wherever reasonably possible.
Please allow 5–10 business days for the refund to reflect, depending on your payment provider or financial institution.

Where stock is available, we may offer an exchange instead of a refund.
If the requested replacement item is unavailable, we may offer:
-
An alternative product of similar value.
-
Store credit.
-
A refund, where applicable.
9. Order Cancellations
Orders may only be cancelled before they have been processed or dispatched.
If your order has already been shipped, it will be treated as a return request under this policy.
10. Consumer Rights
Nothing in this policy limits or excludes any rights you may have under the South African Consumer Protection Act (CPA) or any other applicable law.
Where the CPA provides greater protection than this policy, the provisions of the CPA will apply.
