Shipping & Delivery

Where Do We Ship?

Planning to order an item from us?  We can ship to virtually any address in the world.

How Much Does It Cost?

We offer flat rate shipping service, meaning no matter how much you purchase, you pay the same amount on shipping.  Below are the flat rate costs depending on country:

For example, let's say Joseph (from the USA) decides to order two strands of beads.  For the first item, he pays $4.00, and for the second item he pays nothing.  He pays shipping for the first item, and all additional items are free.  So, lesson of the story, buy more African beads and save.

How Do We Ship?

We ship using a variety of methods.  We do our best to find the most cost and time effective methods for you, allowing us to provide you with fast, secure, and affordable delivery of your order.

When Do We Ship?

We typically ship your order within 24 business hours of receiving your payment.  If you place your order (with payment) Tuesday morning, it will typically ship out by Tuesday afternoon, or Wednesday.  If you place your order (with payment) on Friday evening or anytime on the weekend, it will ship Monday.  We always send an email notification to let you know your order has shipped.
