Shipping and Packaging - Home Décor Handmade in Africa I Tribal Textiles

We are proud to have our base in Zambia's beautiful Luangwa Valley. This magical wilderness is a superb safari destination, but is very remote and miles from anywhere! All the textiles that we sell on this site are hand-made at our workshop in Zambia, and shipped to you directly from here. 

We offer DHL as our shipping option and offer free delivery for all orders above $300. Please note that custom duties remain at your charge however and are charged randomly. 

Since we are in a very remote part of the world, we recommend you allow at least 10 - 14 working days for the safe arrival of your parcel. DHL offers a tracking system so you will be able to follow the progress of your order.  

It's worth highlighting that a portion of these shipping costs will go directly towards supporting the children in the local orphanage, Hanada. We send a basket of fresh vegetables and nutritious food every week directly as a result of online purchases.

Further down this page, there is a table which shows how the shipping costs are calculated based on the weight of your order, including some examples to give you an idea of what quantity of textiles falls into each shipping band. We hope that it makes sense but please don't hesitate to contact us if you would like us to clarify anything. Use the Contact Us link above.
