FAQ
The honest answers, no fine print.
What is “preorder”, exactly?
You pay today at a pooled price. We source your item, load it into a shipping container along with everyone else's orders, and ship it to Lagos. You receive it in about 60–90 days. It's cheaper because the whole container ships together, you get container prices instead of retail.
When will I get my order?
Roughly 60–90 days after the cycle closes. We always give a range, never a fixed date, here's why.
Why a range, not an exact date?
International shipping has real factors no one fully controls, so we build in buffer and keep you updated rather than promise a date we can't guarantee:
- Shipping-line schedules , Vessels and sailings shift.
- Weather , Storms and rough seas cause delays at sea.
- Customs clearance , Clearing times at the port vary.
- Port congestion , Lagos ports get busy; queues happen.
Can I get a refund?
You can request a full refund any time before your container leaves port, even after we've sourced and purchased your item. Once the container has shipped, the order can no longer be refunded. And if a batch never fills, you're refunded 100% within 48 hours.
What about duties, clearing and shipping?
You pay the product price upfront. The big one, duties & clearing , runs about 60–80% of the goods value (the same duty any importer pays), and together with your container share and delivery it's shown as a clear estimate before you pay and settled only when your container lands. We show that number loud and early, never a surprise at the warehouse, never bundled into the price you see.
How do I know the item is genuine and good quality?
We share sourcing and inspection photos & videos for each cycle, and we hold goods to EU/USA standards. A named coordinator stays on your cycle the whole way.
How do I get help?
WhatsApp support, plus a real, named coordinator for your cycle, not a faceless inbox. You get shipment updates at each stage.
