FAQ’s
How does shipping work on The Boeremark Online?
We partner directly with independent South African farmers, artisans, and small businesses across the country. The moment you place an order, our system automatically generates a prepaid shipping label and sends it straight to the specific creator. They pack your box at their farm or workshop, and our courier partners collect it the very same or next business day to deliver it straight to your door.
If I ordered multiple items. Will they arrive together?
Because we ship directly from the source to keep products fresh and support local businesses, items from different creators will be dispatched from different locations. If you buy a leather wallet from Pretoria and a jar of honey from Potchefstroom, they will arrive in separate boxes, potentially a day or two apart. You will receive unique tracking numbers for each package.
How long does delivery take?
Our creators are committed to a strict next-day collection policy. Once the courier collects your package from the business or workshop, standard economy delivery applies to major metro hubs (Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban) typically takes 2 to 4 business days. Regional and outlying farm areas may take an additional 1 to 2 business days.
Do you ship perishable goods?
No. To ensure absolute safety, product integrity, and reliable delivery through standard courier networks, we strictly sell non-perishable and shelf-stable goods. This includes items like bottled preserves, sauces, dried biltong, leatherwork, and woodwork that can travel safely without refrigeration.
What payment methods do you accept?
We offer a 100% secure checkout experience via South Africa’s leading payment gateways (Payflex / PayFast). We accept all major Credit and Debit Cards (Visa, Mastercard).
Can I change or cancel my order?
Because our system is fully automated to help small businesses move quickly, shipping labels are generated and sent to our creators almost instantly. If you need to change or cancel your order, please contact our support team immediately. Once a creator has packed and processed the shipment label, the order cannot be canceled.
