Return Window and Eligibility

Customer-Fault Returns (Store Credit)
Returns initiated for reasons not caused by African Delights—including but not limited to change of mind, wrong item/variant/size ordered, misunderstanding of promotions (including free-shipping eligibility), incorrect or undeliverable address, or refused/unclaimed deliveries—are refunded as store credit (digital gift card). Original shipping is non-refundable; return shipping is the customer’s responsibility; a 5% restocking fee applies. Store credit has no expiration and is not redeemable for cash except where required by law.

Cancellations

• Before Shipment: Orders canceled for reasons not caused by us may be refunded as store credit (digital gift card) or, upon request, to the original payment method where required by law.

• After Shipment / Label Created: Orders cannot be canceled. Eligible items may be returned under our Return & Refund Policy. If a shipment is refused, unclaimed, or returned to sender due to customer-provided details, we will issue store credit minus original shipping, any carrier return fees, and the 5% restocking fee after the item is received and inspected.

Issues with Your Order?

Lost or Undelivered Orders

If your order has not been delivered within seven (7) days after the latest delivery date or the carrier’s estimated delivery date, it may be eligible for a lost package reimbursement.

Please note: Orders marked as delivered by the carrier are not eligible for reimbursement.

Many orders shipped via eligible carriers include shipping insurance. In the case of a lost package, the customer may be able to file a claim directly with the carrier to recover the cost of the order.

If your order appears to be lost or is missing, please contact us—we’ll assist with tracking and guide you through the next steps.

Orders returned to sender as refused, unclaimed, or undeliverable based on customer-provided details will be processed as a customer-fault return and refunded as store credit minus original shipping, any carrier return fees, and the 5% restocking fee.
