Delivery & Returns

What is the cost of delivery?
Courier rates are calculated on Real-Time Rates we receive from the couriers when you check on our website.

 

Must I insure my Goods? We highly recommend you do as most of our products are fragile. There is an option to insure the Goods should you wish to do so during checkout. Should you exercise the option to insure the Goods, you should be able to lodge a claim if items are lost or broken.


When can I expect delivery?
SmartLabs makes use of couriers for deliveries. Processing time take 1-3 business days to be processed, in addition to 2-4 more business days to get shipped depending on the destination. Although we try our very best to ensure this happens, we can unfortunately not guarantee it.

Note that payment via EFT will take longer as the items will only be released once the payment reflects in our account.
