Shipping Costs

 

The satisfaction of our customers in terms of service and value for money is paramount. Accordingly, we have selected the most reliable and economical means of shipping available. We offer our customers the option of selecting either an Airmail option or a Surface Mail option. The Surface Mail option is significantly cheaper, but for obvious reasons, takes longer to be delivered (up to 12 weeks). All our orders are insured and shipped via the South African Post Office and are normally shipped within one to three business days.  

 

Our rates are dependent on weights per purchase, differentiating between purchases of less than 2 kg’s (small parcels) and those more than 2kg’s (large parcels). On average, 13.25m of washed Shweshwe fabric weighs 2kg’s, therefore all purchases of approximately 13.25m or less attract the small parcel shipping charge.
