Shipping Policy
Thank you for shopping with SmileVital™. We are committed to delivering your order as quickly and safely as possible.
Shipping Locations
We currently ship throughout South Africa.
Processing Time
Orders are typically processed within 1–2 business days after payment has been confirmed.
Orders placed on weekends or public holidays will be processed on the next business day.
During periods of high demand, processing times may be slightly longer.
Delivery Time
We ship all orders using Aramex Store-to-Door.
Estimated delivery time: 8–11 business days from the date your order has been dispatched.
Delivery times are estimates only and begin once your order has been shipped, not when it is placed.
Shipping Costs
Shipping costs are calculated at checkout unless otherwise stated as part of a promotion.
Order Tracking
Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a tracking number via email so you can monitor the progress of your delivery.
Delivery Delays
While we work closely with our courier partners to ensure timely delivery, delivery dates are estimates only and cannot be guaranteed.
Occasionally, delays may occur due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to:
-
Severe weather conditions
-
Public holidays
-
High shipping volumes
-
Industrial action or strikes
-
Courier operational delays
-
Incorrect or incomplete delivery information supplied by the customer
-
Other unforeseen events
SmileVital™ will not be responsible for delays arising from circumstances beyond our reasonable control. However, we will make reasonable efforts to assist you in tracking your shipment and resolving any delivery issues with the courier.
Incorrect Shipping Information
Customers are responsible for ensuring that all shipping information is accurate at checkout.

the customer may be responsible for any additional shipping charges required to resend the order.
