IT'S EASY TO ORDER

At Talanha, we believe in creating satisfied customers. This is why we want to give you options when it comes to ordering. As a result, you can choose which method best suits you.

When you oder from any of the Talanha websites, we do not expect you to "open an account".

You simply fill your shopping basket, complete your address, and select your payment method. Using your card is safe and we use the same encription levels as your bank. All cards are accepted via paypal where you do not have to have an account.

INTERNATIONAL ORDERS - International orders include all orders from outside of South Africa.

USA, European, Australia and New Zealand customers, we are considering having agents/stockists in your countries in the future. At present we are searching for suitable, reliable and trustworthy candidates to handle these orders.

Your order and dispatch process is much the same as ordering from within South Africa. The only difference is when it comes to contact details and delivery.

ORDERING FROM WITHIN SOUTH AFRICA - When ordering from within South Africa, simply follow the process which suits you best. The only difference you will have is in the contact details and the delivery of your goods.

DISPATCH & DELIVERY OF ORDERS -

POSTAGE & HANDLING FEES - All shipments are subject to postage and handling fees. (Duties and value-added taxes may be required in your home country and are the responsibility of the customer)

MERCHANDISE AVAILABILITY - For those purchasing hair combs: if you have ordered a comb off the web, your comb is most likely to be available unless it states the comb is 'on order'. If the comb is 'on order', you should not be able to purchase it. We will endevour to have available combs packaged and despatched either the same day as payment of your order or the following working day. As our system requires manual login and updating, we do have two purchases occuring on a single comb from time to time. If this occurs, we work on a "first payment, first serve" basis. In the case of the second person ordering, we will do all we can to match the combs. You will be contacted so as to arrange an alternative.

For those ordering custom made items: Custom made items include all hand made or hand created items such as Linen, thread work, hand dyed and or painted bags and home decor. This also includes any custom made orders for hair combs. Please allow six to eight weeks for your custom, hand made order to be fulfilled. In the case of the clips, this time can be reduced to 14 days to 4 weeks. Each item is especially designed for you and then hand stitched, painted or beaded. Should an item be unavailable or a delay in regular shipment anticipated, you will be advised at the time of your order. If you have only paid 50% (in the case of Linen) of the cost of your order, your final payment will not be requested until time of shipment. Only once we have received the final and full payment will we dispatch your order. You are required to pay 100% for clips when you place your order.
