SHIPPING & DELIVERY

International Orders

Location

We ship to most countries worldwide, with a handful of exceptions. Please contact us with where you would like us to ship to so we can give you more details. Alternatively, search for your country on this list.

International Shipping Costs

International shipping costs a flat rate of R800 for 1-4 pairs of shoes and R1100 for 5-10 pairs of shoes. Please note that any customs duty costs upon arrival in your country are to be settled from your own account. International shipping does not include customs duty costs, nor does it include any form of insurance for lost, damaged or stolen products from our store. Bela and Co is not liable for any lost, damaged or stolen products from our store.

International Shipping Details (including delivery addresses) are final

Once the package has left our premises, it is beyond our control to change any address. To ensure the proper delivery of your package, please ensure that your provided address is complete and correct with all necessary information, including apartment/room/suite numbers.

International Dispatch Time Frame

Orders will be shipped within 24-48 hours (unless otherwise communicated) from the moment your order has been confirmed. Please note that during sale season/pop-up events hosted by Bela & Co we may experience a delay in shipping. You will be notified via social media/email if there is a delay in dispatching your order. Please take note that all products purchased over the weekend and on public holidays will only be shipped during the next working day.

International Tracking

Orders can be tracked via the DHL website using the tracking number. A shipping order confirmation email with all relevant information will be sent to you once your package is in transit. The onus rests on you to track your parcel’s whereabouts and to confirm that you are present to receive the package on the delivery date.

International Delivery Time Frame

This depends on where you are located, how long customs clearance is likely to take and any other elements that may impact shipping time. On average, it usually takes about three weeks but we cannot guarantee that your package will arrive within that time.

International Contact Details for Anticipated Deliveries

Please enquire with your local DHL depot as to the whereabouts of your package, using the tracking information that was sent to you via email.

International Undeliverable Packages

(Very) Occasionally packages are returned to us marked as ‘undeliverable’. Should this happen, every attempt will be made to contact you to make arrangements for re-shipment. In the unlikely event of an undeliverable package, DHL will send it back to us and we will contact you to determine how we can get your package to you. Please note, however, that this additional shipping cost will be for your own account.

International Return & Exchange Policy

Unfortunately, due to the logistics of international shipping, no refunds, returns or exchanges are possible for our international clients. Therefore, please get in touch with us BEFORE placing your order so that we can assist you in being 100% certain that you are purchasing the correct size. We will not be able to process any exchanges, returns or refunds, so you must be completely sure that you are ordering the right size. We are happy to help you, so please pop us a message.

SOUTH AFRICAN ORDERS

Bela & Co is an online retailer and does not have a physical retail store. All South African orders are shipped via Fastway, a third party service provider. Deliveries only take place from door to door. Please ensure that the correct shipping address is provided from the outset as title and risk passes to you once your order has left our premises. Please note: we are unable to deliver to P.O. Boxes. You will be required to sign for delivery, therefore we recommend that you provide a daytime address where someone will be able to sign between 9am and 5pm.

Location

We ship to anywhere within South Africa.

Local Shipping Cost

There is a standard local shipping cost of R 99.00 on all purchases.

To ensure that your package can be properly delivered, please make sure that your address is complete and correct with all information including apartment/suite/room numbers.

Refund, Return & Exchange Policy within South Africa

Refunds

There will be no refunds issued on any Bela & Co Products, unless otherwise indicated by Bela & Co or where alternative arrangements have been discussed with a Bela & Co representative. We regret no credit notes.

Exchanges/Returns

Please notify Bela & Co within 48 hours of receiving the item/s by sending an email to shop@bela.co.za requesting an exchange for a different size or style. Please bear in mind that we can’t guarantee that we will have the same style in the alternative size that you request. Items must be returned in the same condition that they were dispatched in. The purchased pair of shoes will be inspected upon their return and should they meet the requirements for exchange (unworn, no damage, pristine condition, etc.) then an exchange may be facilitated. However, please note that no exchanges are possible for any sale items. Should the pair you wish to exchange differ in price, you will be required to pay the cost difference between pairs.

We are happy to share the costs of an exchange with you within the allotted exchange period. If you would like to exchange your pair for another, we will pay for the cost of the courier to get your pair of shoes back to us, where we will exchange them for your desired pair. Thereafter, you will cover the cost of the courier for the shoes to be delivered to you. Should you subsequently wish to exchange the pair again, both courier costs (to us and back to you) will be covered by you. For this reason, we urge you to pay careful attention to our sizing suggestions so that you place the right order the first time. The sooner you’re able to enjoy your shoes, the happier we all are!
