Here are some answers to Frequently asked questions:
Do you accept rush orders?
Yes we do – but this is will be on selected products only. All wood boxes, perspex boxes and printed signage (including printed puzzles), will not be available for rush order. There is a tick box at checkout which allows you to select whether or not you’d like to rush your order – if you select yes, this will come with an additional rush fee. Please note – on the odd occasion where we are unable to assist with rushing your order, we will contact you within 24 hours and offer a full refund. Unfortunately this rush option is not available online to outlying areas – however, if you are in an outlying area, please feel free to contact us so we can see which goodies you’re wanting to rush.
What are your lead times?
Each item has a lead time listed in the product description, so please take special note of these times when placing an order. Lead times do not include courier. If you accept the lead times at checkout, place your order and then realize that there isn’t enough time, you will be liable for the commission fee charged by Payfast & Snapscan.
