Shipping & Delivery Policy

Delivery Timeline

  • Orders are processed within 1–2 business days after purchase.

  • Nationwide delivery via The Courier Guy takes approximately 2–5 business days, depending on location.

  • You will receive a tracking number via email once your order is dispatched.

​

Shipping Costs

  • Shipping is calculated based on package weight at checkout.

  • For example, a standard "shoebox"-sized parcel (±35cm x 25cm x 12cm, 3kg) incurs a shipping fee of R109.

  • Heavier parcels may be charged at higher rates.

​

Local Collection & Delivery

  • Local delivery or store collection in Betty’s Bay is available by appointment.

  • If you prefer to use your own courier for pickup, please coordinate with us in advance.

​

Courier Partner

  • We partner with The Courier Guy to provide secure and reliable nationwide shipping across South Africa.

  • Tracking information will be sent via email once your parcel has been handed over for delivery.

​

Handling & Packaging

  • All orders are carefully hand-packed using protective materials to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.

  • While we do our best to secure each package, Atelier Fifty6 is not liable for damage that occurs after dispatch, including during third-party courier transit or customer-arranged collection.

​

If You Are Using Your Own Courier or Collecting In-Store

Once your order leaves our premises—whether collected in person or by a courier of your choice—you assume full responsibility for the condition of the parcel.

​

Local Pickup Care Guidelines

For delicate items like glassware, ceramics, or candles, we recommend the following:

  • Place the parcel flat in the boot or backseat of the vehicle.

  • Avoid placing the item in direct sunlight or heat.

  • Keep the air conditioning on during transport.

  • Drive slowly and carefully, especially when stopping or turning.

  • Go directly to your destination—avoid unnecessary stops.

​

We trust you understand that transporting our handmade pieces with care is just as important as the love we put into creating them.
