  • Shipping fees are calculated based on the destination, weight, and size of your order. Any applicable fees will be displayed before you finalize your purchase at the checkout. Estimated delivery times are provided at checkout and may vary due to courier schedules, holidays, or unforeseen circumstances. Every effort is made to ensure that the delivery charges shown on the Website are accurate at the time of purchase. However, if a delivery fee is displayed incorrectly, MnW will not be obliged to deliver products at that incorrect rate. Should the User decide to cancel the purchase after being informed of the correct delivery fee, MnW will only be liable for refunding any payment already made by the User. Free delivery may be available for orders above a specified value, as indicated on the Site.
  • If your order is delayed, lost, arrives damaged or show signs of tampering, please contact our customer service team within 48 hours for assistance. We will investigate and work with the courier to resolve the issue. Replacement or refund policies for lost or damaged items are outlined in our Returns Policy. We are not liable for delays or losses resulting from events beyond our control, including but not limited to natural disasters, strikes, courier delays, or political unrest.

Risk of loss and title for Products pass to you upon delivery to the specified address. The User must ensure that someone will be available at the delivery address between 08h00 and 17h00 on business days (Excludes Saturdays, Sunday and Public Holidays). If no one is present at the designated delivery address to receive the order, the courier will retain the products and notify the User of the attempted delivery. The courier will then coordinate with the User to schedule a new delivery date and time. Should there be any additional charges incurred due to the User’s unavailability to accept the delivery or if the courier returns the products to MnW as a result, the User will be responsible for those fees.
  • MnW aims to deliver orders within the timeframe shown on our Website. However, larger orders, order quantities, longer distances, or other factors may cause delays. Users will be informed of any expected delays, and any revised delivery times will replace those stated in confirmation emails or invoices.

This period covers the time required for MnW to receive the return shipment from the User, the processing time for MnW once the return is received, and the duration needed for the User’s bank to complete the refund transaction.
  • The User will be responsible for the costs of returning the products to MnW. We recommend using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance for returns, as we cannot guarantee receipt of your returned item. The User bears the risk of loss or damage to the products until MnW has received them.
  • Items returned that do not meet the above criteria or that have not been authorized by our customer service team may not be eligible for a refund or exchange.
