My order has been lost / stolen! 😲

Have you checked your tracking information? Please make sure to check your surrounding area and with your neighbours. If you’re unable to locate your parcel, please get in touch with us or submit this form to start an investigation with the courier regarding your missing parcel. Depending on the courier, investigations can take 5-10 business days to conclude.

Until a missing package has been returned to Dermal Health Science or officially declared lost, we cannot reship or refund the order.

We assess each report on a case by case basis. If the parcel is confirmed delivered with a Proof of Delivery (POD), we cannot issue a refund if these parcels are lost/stolen.

Which shipping courier do you use? Where do you ship from?

South African orders are shipped from Pretoria and we mostly make use of The Courier Guy for deliveries.

Are there any customs, vat, taxes, brokerage fees?

Any applicable taxes/vat are applied to your full order (including delivery). This will be reflected by the total cost upon checkout.

Some international customers do arrange their own courier to collect from our warehouse. For destinations outside South Africa, you may be charged handling fees and taxes as your order passes through customs. We have zero control over your country’s customs and duty charges and cannot reflect these fees in our pricing. You are responsible for knowing your country’s customs and duty policies before placing your order.
