1. Where we ship
-
South Africa: Door-to-door courier to physical addresses only (no PO Boxes or Post Office counters).
-
Outside South Africa: We can arrange international courier at the buyer’s cost. Any customs duties, VAT, or import taxes are for the recipient.
​
2. Fees & delivery times
​
-
SA deliveries: Free shipping. Typical delivery 2–7 working days after payment clears.
-
International deliveries: Quoted on request. Delivery timelines vary by country and courier.
-
We’ll email your tracking number once your order is booked with the courier.
-
Courier deliveries occur Mon–Fri, 08:00–17:00 (excluding public holidays).
Tip: Use a daytime address where someone can sign. If the courier can’t deliver after reasonable attempts, re-delivery fees may apply.
​
3. Order processing & changes
​
-
Orders are processed once payment reflects.
-
Need to change your address or contact details? Email info@palucraft.com before dispatch (we’ll confirm if we can apply the change).
​
4. Pre-orders
​
-
Items marked Pre-Order are not yet in stock (often in print). Estimated dispatch is 1–2 weeks, but printing can take longer.

Payment is taken at checkout to reserve your copy.
-
Cancellations:
-
Before dispatch: Allowed — full refund.
-
After dispatch: See “Returns & Refunds” below.

-
Mixed carts (in-stock + pre-order): We ship once all items are available. If you want the in-stock items sooner, please place a separate order.

5. Digital products: Study Material access
​
-
Access (license) is provisioned to your Candidate Platform account after payment.
-
One user per license (non-transferable, non-shareable).

If you have trouble accessing content, contact support first — we’ll help resolve technical issues quickly.

Refunds for digital products: Once access has been activated/redeemed, the product is generally non-refundable, except where required by law (e.g., the content is defective or not as described).
