Shipping policy

Thank you for shopping with House of Bealah. We are dedicated to ensuring your premium Turkish garments arrive safely, securely, and in pristine condition. Because we manage high-value parcels, all of our shipments are fully tracked and handled by premium courier networks across South Africa.

1. SHIPPING RATES & FEES
- Standard Luxury Shipping: We charge a flat delivery rate of R180 for standard residential and major hub deliveries across South Africa.

2. PROCESSING & DELIVERY TIMELINES
- Order Processing: All orders for in-stock items are processed, quality-checked, and securely packaged within 1 business day. Orders are not processed or dispatched on weekends or South African public holidays.
- Standard Delivery Times: Delivery by The Courier Guy is estimated at 3 to 4 business days after collection.

3. DISPATCH & REAL-TIME TRACKING
The moment your order is collected from our West Rand fulfillment facility, you will receive an automated email notification containing a direct tracking link. You can track your parcel's journey in real-time through our courier's portal.

4. COURIER DELIVERY CONDITIONS & SECURITY
- Contact Phone Number: A valid South African mobile number is strictly REQUIRED at checkout. Our courier partners will not collect or attempt delivery for high-value apparel parcels without an active telephone number.
- Signature Upon Delivery: To safeguard your expensive purchase, all House of Bealah shipments require a physical signature upon delivery. Parcels will not be left unattended at gates, with security guards, or on porches without explicit written authorization from the buyer.
- Delivery Failures: If the courier cannot reach you after multiple delivery attempts due to an invalid phone number or your absence, the parcel will be returned to our facility. The buyer will be held responsible for the courier re-delivery fees to ship the package a second time.

5. DAMAGES & LOST SHIPMENTS
Every item undergoes strict inspection before dispatch. In the rare event that your package arrives damaged, torn, or tampered with, please take clear photographs of the outer packaging immediately, refuse the delivery if possible, and contact our support email so we can open a claim with the courier.
