SHIPPING POLICY

Last Updated: May 2026

8ATE is a premium independent fashion label operated by NOTEDCOORDINATION (Pty) Ltd, based in Pretoria, Gauteng, South Africa.

We are committed to transparent communication, structured fulfillment, and reliable delivery across South Africa.

SHIPPING REGIONS

8ATE currently ships within South Africa only.

We do not currently offer international shipping.

ORDER PROCESSING

Orders are processed during standard business days only:
Monday to Friday, excluding weekends and South African public holidays.

Customers will receive shipping confirmation and tracking details once an order has been dispatched.

FULFILLMENT TYPES

8ATE products may fall into one of the following fulfillment categories:

IN STOCK

Ready for dispatch from available inventory.

Estimated Delivery:
3–7 business days nationwide.

MADE TO ORDER

Produced specifically after an order is placed.

Estimated fulfillment timelines will be clearly communicated on the product page.

PRE ORDER

Certain garments are released through limited production cycles and may require extended fulfillment windows.

Estimated preorder timelines are displayed clearly on each applicable product page before purchase.

By placing a preorder, customers acknowledge and accept the stated production and fulfillment timeline.

PREORDER & EXTENDED FULFILLMENT NOTICE

Preorder and made-to-order items may require additional production and logistics time due to:

  • manufacturing schedules

  • supplier coordination

  • production demand

  • courier delays

  • customs or import processing

  • operational scaling periods

Estimated timelines are provided in good faith but are not guaranteed delivery dates.

8ATE will always work to fulfill orders as efficiently as possible while maintaining production quality standards.

COURIERS

8ATE may use multiple courier providers depending on operational efficiency and delivery region, including but not limited to:

  • The Courier Guy

  • Bob Go

  • Aramex

  • PUDO

Courier selection remains at the discretion of 8ATE.

DELIVERY RESPONSIBILITY

Customers are responsible for ensuring:

  • accurate shipping information

  • valid contact details

  • accessible delivery addresses

8ATE cannot be held responsible for delays or losses resulting from incorrect customer information.

DELIVERY DELAYS

While we aim to meet all estimated timelines, delivery delays may occasionally occur due to:

  • high order volumes

  • courier disruptions

  • weather conditions

  • public holidays

  • supplier or production delays

In the event of significant delays, customers will be notified accordingly.

LOST OR STOLEN PARCELS

Once an order has been handed to the courier provider, delivery responsibility partially transfers to the courier network.

8ATE will assist customers in resolving delivery investigations where reasonably possible.
