We ship in South Africa only.  Your shipping rate will be displayed on checkout and is based on the weight of your order.
If you live outside of South Africaplease contact us for International Shipping Rates, as this will vary from country to country. Please also take note that all taxes, duties and customs fees are the responsibility of the person receiving the parcel.  Please contact your local customs office for fees related to your country.
Please note, shipping lead time is from date of dispatch and not from date of order or payment received. Most items are MADE TO ORDER , so please allow for at least 5-10 working days before your order can be dispatched.  LARGER ORDERS may take longer to make, in which case we will contact you with an estimated delivery time.
We do hold stock of Macrame Cord / Rope & String.  Since certain cord is imported, there may be times where there is a delay in receiving more stock.  'Out of stock' cord will be clearly displayed on the product page.
