The bottom line? If youāre not satisfied, weāre not satisfied. Get the full scoop on returns and reimbursement via our Refund Policy.

When will my order ship?
As far as weāre concerned, the sooner we can introduce your taste buds to authentic African flavor, the better! Weāre typically able to have orders packaged, dispatched, and headed your way in 1-3 business days. If we hit any roadblocks weāll reach out and let you know.
Where do you ship from?
Crafted in Cape Town, our small-batch sauces and seasonings are a true-blue product of Africa, but we assemble in Cape Town and ship to our fulfillment center in near Los Angeles, USA where we dispatch them to our customers in USA and Canada. This shaves days (or even weeks) off our fulfilment window, allowing us to deliver authentic flavor on a tighter timeline.
