REFUND, SHIPPING & RETURNS POLICY

Thank you for shopping at African Impressions. We take pride in producing high-quality, made-to-order AI-generated artwork. Please read our Refund, Shipping & Returns Policy carefully before placing your order.

1. Made-to-Order Products

All artwork is printed specifically for each customer once an order has been placed and payment has been received. As our products are custom-made, every order is produced individually and is not held as stock.

2. Shipping
Shipping Costs

Shipping charges are not included in the listed product prices and will be calculated separately during checkout based on the delivery address and selected shipping method.

Processing Time

Orders are typically processed within 3–7 business days after payment has been confirmed. During busy periods, production times may be slightly longer.

Delivery Times

Estimated delivery times are:

  • South Africa: 3–8 business days after dispatch.
  • International: 7–21 business days after dispatch, depending on the destination country and customs processing.

Please note that these delivery times are estimates only and may vary due to circumstances beyond our control.

Customs & Import Duties

International customers are responsible for any customs duties, import taxes, VAT, or other charges imposed by their country’s customs authorities.

Delivery Address

Customers are responsible for ensuring that the shipping address provided is complete and accurate. We cannot accept responsibility for delays or losses resulting from incorrect address information supplied during checkout.

3. Order Tracking

Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a shipping confirmation email together with tracking information (where available).

4. Returns

Due to the custom-made nature of our products, we are unable to accept returns or exchanges simply because:

  • you changed your mind;
  • you ordered the incorrect size;
  • you no longer want the item; or
  • the artwork differs slightly in colour from how it appeared on your screen.

Each print is produced specifically for your order and cannot be resold.

5. Damaged, Defective or Incorrect Items

If your order arrives damaged, defective, or you receive the incorrect item, please contact us within 7 days of receiving your order.
Please include:

  • your order number;
  • a description of the issue; and
  • clear photographs of the item and its packaging.

Once your claim has been reviewed and approved, we will, at our discretion:

  • replace the item at no additional cost; or
  • issue a full refund if a replacement is not reasonably possible.

We may request that damaged products be returned before processing a replacement or refund.

6. Refund Policy

Refunds will only be considered in the following circumstances:

  • your order cannot be fulfilled;
  • your order is lost in transit and confirmed as lost by the courier;
  • you received a defective or incorrect product that cannot reasonably be replaced.

Approved refunds will be processed using the original payment method and may take 5–10 business days to reflect, depending on your payment provider.
Shipping costs are non-refundable unless the return results from our error or a defective product.

7. Colour Accuracy

We make every effort to accurately display the colours of our artwork. However, colours may vary slightly between different computer monitors, mobile devices, and printed products. Such variations do not constitute a manufacturing defect.

8. Cancellation Policy

Orders may only be cancelled before production has commenced.
Once printing has begun, orders cannot be cancelled as the product is custom-made.

9. Consumer Rights

Nothing in this policy limits or excludes any rights that consumers may have under the Consumer Protection Act, 68 of 2008, or any other applicable South African legislation.
