All orders handled via our Online store, Email, Facebook, Instagram, Phone call or WhatsApp or other channels requiring an online order to be created, will go through the standard delivery process.

  1. How does the Online Order process work?

We use Shopify to handle all our online orders whether created directly via our website or draft orders created manually. Once you place your order with us, it will reflect on our system as Unfulfilled. All order received via urbanzulu.com will reflect automatically. Draft orders will only reflect once payment has been made. Partial payment orders will reflect as Unfulfilled and Payment Pending. As soon as we receive your order, the online team, will collect the item from the store that has available stock. This may take up to 5 working days. Once the item is received by the Online team, the courier will be packaged and courier notified to collect. As soon as the courier collects, the order will be updated with the waybill number. Please note that once the courier collects, it is outside of our control and you will need to contact the courier to follow up on your order.

 

  1. I bought a dress and it’s slightly big/small, can you do alterations on it?

Yes we can at not cost within 14 business days of receiving your order, please submit a return request online with details of required alteration. It is helpful if you send a pic accompanying your request as well as size dimensions. You may send the dress to 100 Anderson Street , Johannesburg. Please see the Returns Page for more info. Its usually better if you bring it in-store so we can see where to do alterations.
