After dispatch from our warehouse, your tracking number will be uploaded to your order.

Any changes to the shipment after it has left our warehouse are made at your own individual risk. We encourage you to manage your delivery preferences as necessary to ensure a smooth delivery process.

5.     TRACKING AND NOTIFICATIONS:

We are dedicated to providing a transparent and reliable tracking and notification system designed to keep you well-informed about the status of your order at every stage of the shipping and delivery process. Once your order is ready to leave our warehouse, you will receive a dispatch confirmation email. This email informs you that your order is on its way and provides a tracking number or reference that you can use to monitor its progress. With the provided tracking number, you can access real-time tracking information through our website or the courier's tracking portal. This feature allows you to see the exact location of your parcel as it moves through the shipping network. You will also receive an estimated delivery time, so you can anticipate when your order will arrive. Please note that delivery times are based on our standard delivery service and may vary if you've chosen expedited or specialty delivery options.

6.     DELIVERY CONFIRMATION:

To provide our customers with peace of mind and to maintain the integrity of the delivery process, we employ a stringent delivery confirmation system. For many of our deliveries, a signature requirement is in place. This means that the recipient must provide a signature to confirm the receipt of the order. The signature serves as concrete evidence that the delivery has been successfully completed. In some cases, photographic evidence may be utilised to confirm delivery. This method involves the courier taking a photograph of the delivered package at the delivery location. This provides visual confirmation that the delivery has been executed as expected.

7.     DELIVERY INSPECTION:

When your order is delivered, we recommend that you conduct a prompt inspection of the package. This inspection should include a thorough examination of the external packaging and the contents of the delivery. Ensure that the items you ordered are present and in good condition. This step is essential to confirm that your order has been delivered accurately and without any damage. In the event of damaged or missing items, please contact our customer service team without delay as per our Returns and Refunds Policy. Our team will assist you in resolving the issue and taking appropriate steps to rectify the situation.

8.     FORCE MAJEURE:

There may be instances when unforeseen events or "force majeure" circumstances disrupt our ability to maintain regular shipping and delivery schedules. We want to assure you that in such situations, we will address the impact on shipping and delivery times with a clear and transparent approach. "Force majeure" refers to unforeseen events that are beyond our control and could not have been reasonably foreseen or prevented. These events may include natural disasters, acts of war, political instability, extreme weather conditions, labour strikes, or other events that disrupt the normal flow of goods and services. In the event of "force majeure" circumstances, we are committed to maintaining transparent communication with our customers. We will promptly notify affected customers of any delays or disruptions to their delivery schedules. Depending on the nature of the "force majeure" event, we will work to make alternative arrangements to fulfil your order to the best of our abilities. This may include adjusting delivery times or using alternative delivery methods when necessary.

Our website's Terms and Conditions Agreement serves as the overarching framework that governs your interactions and transactions with us. It encompasses various policies, including our Payments, Shipping and Delivery Policy, to ensure a unified understanding of the expectations and responsibilities of both parties - our customers and us.
