Sales and Delivery

A sales agreement between the customer and The Sensory Shop only becomes valid once full payment has been made and proof of this has been received. Until this point goods remain the property of The Sensory Shop.

We offer a 24 hour turn around time on orders. The Courier Guy will take 2-3 working days to deliver to all major centres.

Delivery is available nationwide in South Africa to all the major suburbs and most rural areas. Should the delivery area not be covered by the courier service, additional charges may apply. While all reasonable care will be taken for prompt delivery, delays in delivery are not grounds for return or refund. Once the order is delivered and signed for by any person at the delivery address, the sale is considered as completed, even if it was not personally received by the person who ordered it.

• Free delivery over R1200
• Under R1200, a R150 courier fee will apply
• No express option available

Returns are at the customer’s expense and an invoice will be sent to the customer, on the email address provided on the order, for payment prior to the courier’s collection of the return.
