Afrotech Shipping and Delivery Policy
At Afrotech, we are committed to making your online shopping experience convenient, reliable and secure. This Shipping and Delivery Policy explains how we process, dispatch and deliver orders for laptops, smartphones, IT gadgets, computer accessories and other products purchased from our online store.
Order Processing
Orders are processed after confirmation of payment and verification of the order details. Processing times may vary depending on product availability, payment verification and order volume.
Customers will be notified if an item is unavailable or if there is an unexpected delay in processing their order.
Delivery Areas
Afrotech aims to serve customers across Zimbabwe, subject to delivery availability. Delivery arrangements for customers in Harare, Gweru, Bulawayo and other towns will be confirmed when an order is placed.
For locations outside our usual delivery areas, please contact us to confirm whether delivery can be arranged.
Delivery Times
Estimated delivery times depend on the customer's location, product availability and the selected delivery method. We will communicate the expected delivery timeframe when confirming your order.
Delivery estimates are not guarantees, and delays may occur due to courier operations, weather conditions, public holidays or other circumstances beyond our control.
Shipping Fees
Delivery charges, where applicable, will be communicated to customers before an order is finalised. Fees may vary according to the delivery destination, package size, weight and delivery method.
Any available collection or alternative delivery arrangements will be confirmed with the customer before dispatch.
Order Tracking and Updates
Where tracking is available, Afrotech will provide the relevant tracking details or delivery updates. Customers may also contact us to enquire about the status of their orders.
Please ensure that your delivery address, telephone number and other contact details are accurate when placing an order.
Delivery of Electronic Products
Laptops, smartphones and other electronic devices will be prepared for dispatch with appropriate packaging, subject to the product and delivery method.
Customers should inspect their packages upon receipt and report any visible damage, missing items or incorrect products to Afrotech as soon as reasonably possible.
For software and other digital products, delivery or access instructions will depend on the product purchased and will be communicated where applicable.
Failed Deliveries
If a delivery cannot be completed because the customer provided incorrect contact details, an incomplete address or was unavailable to receive the order, additional delivery arrangements or charges may apply. Any additional charges will be communicated to the customer before being incurred where reasonably possible.
Delays and Circumstances Beyond Our Control
Although we make reasonable efforts to deliver orders within the agreed timeframe, Afrotech cannot guarantee delivery dates where delays arise from circumstances beyond our reasonable control. We will communicate significant delays and provide updates where possible.

Afrotech Refund and Returns Policy
At Afrotech, customer satisfaction is important to us. We aim to provide quality laptops, smartphones, IT gadgets, computer accessories, software and other technology products. This policy explains the circumstances under which customers may request a return, replacement or refund for purchases made through our online store.
1. Eligibility for Returns
Customers may request a return if a product:
Arrives damaged or defective.
Is faulty or does not function as intended.
Is materially different from the product description or specifications provided on our website.
Is incorrect or different from the item ordered.
Please contact us as soon as reasonably possible after receiving your order so that we can assess the issue and advise you on the next steps.
2. Reporting Damaged, Faulty or Incorrect Products
If your order arrives damaged, faulty or incorrect, please contact Afrotech and provide your order details, a description of the problem and, where possible, photographs or videos showing the issue.
We may request an inspection or additional information to determine the appropriate resolution.
Where a return or replacement is approved, we will explain the return procedure and any applicable arrangements for collection or delivery.
3. Refunds and Replacements
Depending on the circumstances, product availability and applicable consumer protection requirements, Afrotech may offer:
A replacement product.
Repair of a faulty product, where appropriate.
A refund of the purchase price.
Another remedy agreed upon with the customer where legally permitted.
If a replacement is unavailable or another remedy is not appropriate, we will discuss the available options with you.
Approved refunds will be processed using the original payment method where practicable. Processing times may depend on the payment provider or financial institution.
4. Change of Mind
If you change your mind after purchasing a product, please contact us before returning it. Returns for change-of-mind reasons are subject to the product type, condition, applicable legal requirements and Afrotech's approval.
Products should generally be unused, undamaged and returned with their original packaging, accessories, manuals and proof of purchase where applicable.
Nothing in this policy removes any rights that customers have under applicable consumer protection laws.
5. Software and Digital Products
Software licences, activation keys, downloads and other digital products may be subject to special return conditions, particularly where a licence has been activated, a digital key has been disclosed or a download has been accessed.
However, these conditions do not exclude any refund or other remedy required by law, including where a digital product is defective, invalid or not as described.
Please contact us if you experience a problem with software purchased from Afrotech.
6. Products That Cannot Be Returned
Subject to applicable law, returns may be restricted for products that have been physically damaged through misuse, unauthorised repair, improper installation or failure to follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Any applicable manufacturer warranty or statutory consumer rights will remain unaffected.
7. Return Shipping Costs
Where a return is necessary because Afrotech supplied an incorrect product or a product is confirmed to be faulty or damaged on arrival, we will communicate the appropriate return arrangements in accordance with applicable law.
For other approved returns, responsibility for return shipping costs will be explained before the return is authorised.
8. Order Cancellations
If you wish to cancel an order, contact us as soon as possible. Cancellation may be possible before dispatch, subject to the status of the order and applicable law.
Orders that have already been dispatched may be subject to the return procedures outlined in this policy.

Cancellation / Return / Exchange Policy
Afrotech Cancellation, Returns and Exchange Policy
At Afrotech, we want you to shop for laptops, smartphones, IT gadgets, computer accessories and software with confidence. This policy explains how to cancel an order, return a product or request an exchange when shopping through our online store.
Our goal is to handle every request fairly, transparently and in accordance with applicable consumer protection laws.
1. Order Cancellation
Customers who wish to cancel an order should contact Afrotech as soon as possible.
Before dispatch: Cancellation requests may be accepted if the order has not yet been dispatched or prepared for fulfilment.
After dispatch: Cancellation may no longer be possible. The customer may need to follow the applicable return procedure.
Special orders: Products sourced specifically for a customer may be subject to additional cancellation conditions, provided these are communicated in advance and comply with applicable law.
Refunds for cancelled orders: Where payment has already been made and cancellation is approved, any refund due will be processed using the original payment method where practicable.
Please note that cancellation eligibility may depend on the status of the order and the nature of the product. Statutory cancellation rights, where applicable, will not be affected.
2. Product Returns
Customers may request a return if a product:
Arrives damaged or defective.
Is faulty or does not function as intended.
Is different from the product ordered.
Is materially inconsistent with its advertised description or specifications.
To initiate a return, contact Afrotech as soon as reasonably possible after discovering the issue. Provide your order number, a description of the problem and supporting photographs or videos where available.
Products may need to be inspected before a return, replacement or refund is approved. We will explain the return procedure and any applicable arrangements.
3. Exchange Policy
Customers may request an exchange where a product is faulty, damaged, incorrect or otherwise eligible for exchange.
Exchanges for a different model, colour, specification or product due to a change of preference are subject to availability and approval.
Where an exchange is approved:
The replacement product will be confirmed with the customer before dispatch.
If the replacement costs more, the price difference must be agreed upon and settled before the exchange is completed.
If the replacement costs less, any refund or credit due will be agreed upon and processed in accordance with applicable law.
If the requested replacement is unavailable, Afrotech will discuss alternative products or other appropriate remedies.
Products supplied incorrectly or confirmed to be defective will be handled in accordance with applicable consumer protection requirements.
4. Condition of Returned Products
For returns based on a change of preference, where permitted, products should generally be unused and undamaged and include their original packaging, accessories, manuals and proof of purchase.
For faulty, damaged or incorrectly supplied products, customers should retain the packaging and accessories where reasonably possible. A product will not automatically be excluded from a remedy simply because its packaging has been opened where inspection or use was reasonably necessary to identify a defect.
Returns may be assessed to determine whether damage resulted from a product fault, transit damage, misuse, unauthorised modification or other circumstances.
5. Software and Digital Products
Software licences, activation keys, downloadable products and other digital items may have specific cancellation and exchange conditions because of their digital nature.
Where permitted by law, a change-of-mind exchange may not be available once a software licence has been activated or a digital key has been disclosed. However, this does not remove any applicable rights relating to defective, invalid or misrepresented digital products.
Customers should verify software compatibility and system requirements before purchasing where these details are available.
6. Return and Exchange Shipping Costs
Where a return or exchange is required because Afrotech supplied an incorrect product or a product is confirmed to be faulty or damaged on arrival, we will communicate the appropriate shipping arrangements in accordance with applicable law.
For approved change-of-mind returns or exchanges, the customer may be responsible for reasonable return delivery costs where this is permitted and communicated in advance.
Any applicable charges will be explained before the return or exchange is finalised.
7. Refund Processing
Where a cancellation or return qualifies for a refund, Afrotech will confirm the approved amount and the applicable refund procedure.
Refunds will generally be issued through the original payment method where practicable. The time taken for funds to reflect may depend on the payment provider or financial institution.
Customers will be notified if additional information is required to process a refund.
8. Manufacturer Warranties
Some laptops, smartphones, accessories and other electronic products may be covered by manufacturer warranties.
Where applicable, customers will be informed of the relevant warranty arrangements. Manufacturer warranty procedures do not replace any statutory rights or remedies available to customers under applicable law.
9. How to Request a Cancellation, Return or Exchange
Please contact Afrotech and provide the following information:
Your name and order number.
The product purchased.
Whether you require a cancellation, return, exchange or refund.
The reason for your request.
Photographs or other supporting evidence, where relevant.
Our team will review your request and communicate the next steps.
