Terms & Conditions
Mail Order Shipping & Handling

We try to keep as many products as possible in stock. Due to a heavy demand for a particular product, we might not have it in stock. This will result in a slightly longer total shipping time. We will notify you by email if any of your products are on "back order".

Processing & Shipments

Orders placed before 2:00pm PST will be processed and shipped within 72 hours or the next business day. Orders placed on Saturday or Sunday will be processed Monday morning and shipped within 72 hours. If the ordered product is out of stock, you will be notified via e-mail and the item will be shipped upon arrival.

Notifications & E-mails

After your initial online order, you may view your order when logged in your account by clicking on the "View my Orders" button. You will also see that an order number is assigned to your order which you can use as a reference should you need to call our Resource Centre with any questions or concerns.
You will receive a second e-mail once your items have been shipped. This e-mail will itemize all products shipped, the date which these items were processed, the price of the items and the method in which the products were shipped. The e-mail will indicate if any items you ordered were not in stock or back ordered. Those items will be sent as soon as we receive the new shipment.

Shipping Methods

Spirit Word Resource sends orders via DHL. The shipping for each order is dependent upon customer location & destination as well as the total weight of product(s) ordered. Orders within the boundaries of South Africa may be posted using our domestic posting services. You may choose this option when you are registering your account, or you may change this within your profile once you have registered.
