Domestic Shipping (South Africa) 

We ship as fast as we can, but due to the handmade nature of our products, our lead time is 5-10 working days after placing your order. Once your product is out of production, we will ship the product and send you an email with a tracking number. We ship via courier and guarantee that you will receive your order. Should your order get lost, we will replace your order immediately. Please contact us if you have any shipping questions.
