At Al’hayaa Designs, we are committed to providing quality products and exceptional service. Please take a moment to read our policies before placing your order.
Order Processing & Delivery
As we carefully prepare each order, some items may be on back order.
* Orders are processed once full payment has been received and reflects in our account.
* Please allow 7–10 working days from the date your payment reflects for your order to be prepared and dispatched.
* Delivery is door-to-door throughout South Africa.
* Standard courier fee is R100 per order.
* Should your order require a larger parcel or multiple boxes, courier costs will be calculated according to the courier company’s rates. We will contact you should any additional shipping fee apply before dispatch.
While we always aim to dispatch orders as quickly as possible, delivery times may occasionally be affected by circumstances beyond our control.
