From South Africa: the usual questions
Is there anything to pay on top of the price?
The price in US dollars plus delivery (free from $100 per address) and the recipient's state's sales tax, all shown at checkout. Your bank converts the total to South African rand at its rate; some issuers add a foreign-transaction fee. The recipient pays nothing.
Will the recipient be charged?
Nothing. The gift is assembled and delivered inside the United States, so there is no customs charge, no duty and no fee at the door.
When do I need to order for delivery today?
Order by 11 a.m. Eastern — 5 p.m. SAST where you are for same-day hand delivery in New York City and North Jersey; the Los Angeles area runs on Pacific time, three hours behind. Courier orders leave New Jersey on orders by 2 p.m. Eastern and Los Angeles by 12:30 p.m. Pacific, Monday to Friday.
Is a future date possible?
Any later date at checkout — the cut-offs only set the earliest day. The date you choose is the recipient's date in the United States, not yours.
Is the price shown to the recipient?
No. The package carries your name as the sender, the greeting card with your message, and the store's contact details — never your address, your card or the price.
Can I send wine or spirits?
Yes, anywhere in the United States — the recipient must be 21+ and show photo ID at the door. Choose a gift without alcohol and no ID is needed.
