"shipping" means the process and period involved, in the movement of products from the vendor or supplier warehouse or collection point.

"Delivery" means the process and period by which the product arrives at the destination.

All orders are processed within 2 to 5 business days (excluding weekends and holidays) after receiving your order confirmation email. You will receive another notification when your order has shipped. This notification will also include details regarding how to track the delivery of your order. Your order status will remain in "processing" state, until shipping is confirmed by our courier partners. Should there be any delays, or unavailability of your purchase items, we will notify you, offer alternatives, or remedy accordingly. A full refund will be due, in this case.

Please look out for your order tracking email.

Its very important to be aware that some products are made-to-order or crafted once an order is placed and therefore, may take longer than our 5 day delivery period. Please reach out to us at hello@aya.africa, if you want more details on when you can expect your order.

Because our vendors are located all over the continent, If you bought from different vendors, in the same order, please be aware that your items may arrive at different times, potentially from different couriers.

As soon as your order is delivered, please inspect your products, to make sure that you are happy with the items.

Should you have any questions or difficulties, please reach out to us at hello@aya.africa. You can also see your order history by logging into your account dashboard. Your account is available at www.aya.africa/my-account

All orders are shipped FREE of charge. International destinations (outside South Africa) for shipping can be handled on a case by case basis.

We are able to ship to locations outside of South Africa, depending on

- type of product
