5. MARKET

6.2 Delivery costs will be stated separately when settling the order and may vary daily and for each order.

7. DELIVERY AND DELIVERY PERIOD

7.1 Geskenke by Dosyne shall endeavour to supply the items ordered to the delivery address within 5 - 10 working days of the order confirmation and the required receipt of payment, unless otherwise stated. Custom and Wedding orders take longer. View our lead time page. Prior to delivering an order, the customer may be contacted to verify the correctness of the order. This may cause some delay in delivery. When registering, buyers must state a telephone number on which they can be reached during the day (such as their number at work or a mobile phone number), so that the delay, if any, will be as short as possible.

7.2 Geskenke by Dosyne shall arrange delivery by post or dispatch orders in any other way, at Geskenke by Dosyne's sole discretion. Note that a signature will be required for receipt of all residential deliveries.

7.3 Geskenke by Dosyne uses third party couriers to deliver goods. A valid proof of delivery or courier run-sheet will be conclusive proof that the parcel was delivered to the address provided on the order. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure the accuracy of the delivery address.

7.4 Addresses may be amended on a customer’s My Orders page. In the event that no amendment is possible from this page, the goods may already be in transit and an address change may not be possible. Address changes after goods have already been processed may incur additional shipping charges.

7.5 The onus is on the Customer to inform Geskenke by Dosyne if an order or part of an order is undelivered within 30 calendar days from the date of sale. Geskenke by Dosyne will not entertain any claim for undelivered items outside of 30 calendar days from the date of sale where a valid dispatch reflects against the order.

8. STOCK AVAILABILITY

8.1 Stock on offer is limited. Geskenke by Dosyne shall take all reasonable efforts to discontinue the offer as soon as stock is no longer available. However, should items still be offered after stocks are sold, Geskenke by Dosyne shall only be liable to refund monies where it is unable to fulfil orders at advertised prices.

8.2 Geskenke by Dosyne shall endeavour to fulfil a customer’s order to the best of their abilities. However, circumstances outside of Geskenke by Dosyne’s control may arise where a customer’s order may not be fulfilled e.g. damaged stock or stock unavailability from Geskenke by Dosyne’s supplier.

Users cannot hold Geskenke by Dosyne liable if such items are not available when the purchase cycle is completed; and Geskenke by Dosyne may remove such an item from the shopping basket if no stock is available. An agreement of sale between Geskenke by Dosyne and a user only comes into effect if and when payment is received and the order is confirmed and processed by Geskenke by Dosyne during normal business hours (8am – 5pm). Geskenke by Dosyne reserves the right to refuse to accept and/or execute an order without giving any reasons. Geskenke by Dosyne also reserves the right to in its sole discretion cancel orders in whole or in part as circumstances dictate, in which event Geskenke by Dosyne shall only be liable to refund monies already paid by the user.
