The Stilbaai Tourism Bureau manages the online storefront, product packaging, shipping, customer service, and payment processing. The bureau operates as the selling entity under the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) and is responsible for all customer-facing transactions.

3. Pricing

All prices are displayed in South African Rand (ZAR) and include the bureau's commission. Prices are final unless otherwise stated. Shipping costs are calculated and added at checkout.

We reserve the right to correct pricing errors and to change prices at any time without prior notice.

All payments are processed securely through Yoco. We accept major credit and debit cards. Payment must be completed before an order is confirmed. You will receive an email confirmation with your order details once payment has been successfully processed.

Shipping methods and estimated delivery times are detailed in our Returns & Shipping Policy. All delivery timeframes are estimates and are not guaranteed. Risk of loss passes to you upon delivery.

Our returns policy is compliant with the Consumer Protection Act (CPA). Full details, including which items are eligible for return and the process for initiating a return, are set out in our Returns & Shipping Policy.

7. Product Accuracy

We describe all products as accurately as possible. Product photographs are representative of the item you will receive. However, as our products are handmade, slight variations in colour, size, texture, and finish are normal and expected. Such variations are inherent to handmade goods and are not considered defects.
