Refunds will also be made where unforeseen exceptions arise that is beyond the control of the sender or receiver where neither party is at fault eg: when a parcel becomes irretrievable by example a plane crash or a ship sinking. These cases will be individually assessed on merit, with the exception of long delays due to choosing SA. Post Office shipping option which is sent by ship via EMS. Normal time 60- 90 days from Africa to the US. Longer delays can be expected with Covid19.

NON ELIGIBLE REFUNDS

Once the parcel has left South Africa refunds are not possible for reasons of tired of waiting or delays due to political, labour strikes, natural disasters for example a pandemic ( eg.
