TERMS & CONDITIONS

Some Housekeeping General Rules

• Don’t worry, you're in safe hands! Just purchase your amazing items and let the rest be a heart-warming surprise! All prices are already inclusive of VAT. However, a delivery fee will be added on during checkout or upon arrangement.
• Nothing lasts forever, not even a good deal! So, all prices are subject to change and are valid while stocks last.
• There will be slight differences in the colors of pictures versus the original due to the lighting and different screen features but the product will be as displayed.
• The odor of special fabrics will be eliminated after standing for a few days or washing with water.
• Product photography may depict the use of props, like wooden blocks and books etc. These props are for aesthetic purposes only and will not be included within the final order. For any queries regarding what the recipient will be receiving, please read the product description provided, or contact us. 
• While substitute items are very rare, the right is reserved to make these substitutions without notifying the customer, unless the substitutions are significant. In these cases, there will be an attempt to contact you. All substitutions are of equal or greater value and look as similar as possible to the product displayed on the website.
• Occasionally, substitutions may be necessary to create your arrangement due to the season, and nature of availability of certain items in various geographic locations in the countries that we deliver in. Care is taken to maintain the style, theme, and colour scheme of the arrangement. Additionally, the substitution of certain items may be necessary due to increased demand, especially during major holidays.
• No one’s perfect and sometimes mistakes happen. If you receive a product that is different from the one you ordered or if you’d like to return it, let us know within 48 hours of receiving it. Arrangements will be made for the item(s) to be returned and for the correct product to be delivered to you ASAP. If the incorrect product is delivered to you, do not remove the product from its original packaging, tamper with or use the product in any way. If the product is tampered with or used in any way and is not in the tip-top condition that it was delivered in, you will be liable for a handling fee plus delivery.
• While vouchers are offered on a regular basis, all rights are reserved to cancel orders placed if there has been misuse of a voucher or unsolicited voucher use.
• To avoid any ‘orchid’ moments, please ensure that all recipient names and card messages are spelt correctly. Messages and names are printed exactly as provided so its key that all info is accurate so that your gift will be perfect when gifting someone with us!
• No exchanges or returns on personalized clothing is permittable, so be sure to find the perfect fit and don't turn back!
• For security reasons, SMS’s may be sent to the recipient before delivery to let them know to expect something special.
• Our packaging is subject to change. Paper sheets may be substituted from time to time. 

• Each day is unique and unpredictable, delivery times unfortunately can't be guaranteed. Our deliveries will be delivered during the day between business hours with the latest delivery being at 6pm.
• If drivers need to take an extended road trip to get to the door of your choice, a surcharge may be charged as an additional delivery fee if it is outside the normal delivery range.
• Deliveries will take place from 8am until 5pm from Monday to Friday.  However, an effort is made to prioritize important deliveries according to standard weekday business hours of 7:30 am to 6pm. Please be aware the closing times for deliveries are subject to change per daily road traffic.
• If you place an order for same day delivery in the morning, your order will go out in the afternoon that same day provided the items are available and the delivery is around Johannesburg. 
• To ensure same day delivery, please clear the direct deposit for immediate payment and send the proof of payment before 1pm that same day to our email or WhatsApp line.
• Unfortunately it's not possible to leave deliveries unattended at the recipient’s front door. All efforts will, however, be made to deliver at reception, receiving, security or a neighbor if they aren’t available.
• Normal delivery procedures involves giving the recipient a call when drivers are at or near the specified address. If the recipient is not available, the sender may also be called. If neither are available, a redelivery will be attempted at a later stage.
• Because drivers have to put petal to the metal to ensure all deliveries are made on time, drivers are only able to wait for a recipient for a limited amount of time.
• The standard delivery fee is R100 for door-to-door deliveries.

• If your recipient lives somewhere far away and exotic that falls into an extended area, the delivery may take between one and two extra days to be delivered.
• Uber Connect delivery is currently only available in JHB. 
• Uber Connect delivery only applies to the first delivery attempt. If the recipient is unavailable, alternative normal redelivery procedures will apply.
• If the sender or recipient is off jet-setting or are only just visiting the country and therefore have an international number, no liability can be attributed for late or non-delivery.
• Unfortunately, deliveries can’t be left unattended at the recipient’s front door. All efforts however, will be made to deliver at reception, receiving, security or a neighbor if they aren’t available.
• If the delivery could not occur because of a customer’s error such as providing the wrong address, cell phone number, or the person didn’t want to or couldn’t receive the gift etc., it will be redelivered the next day.

Delivery To Outlying Areas

• Yay! You can now get your order delivered to your loved one who stays in an outlying area.
• We consider outlying areas as any place whereby our trusted courier company drivers take significantly longer to get to which results to less deliveries being made in the day.
• The courier companies we use are well-traveled and will ensure deliveries to outlying areas are still delivered safely and on schedule.

At Expressive Boutique, we make sure every item is well packed and dispatched, and every change is timely communicated to avoid any inconvenience to our clients.
