Last updated: September 2026
Schutte Prints (https://schutteprints.co.za) ships fine art prints nationwide across South Africa. This policy explains production times, delivery estimates, free shipping, packaging, and what to do if something goes wrong in transit.
1. Overview
Schutte Prints delivers fine art prints nationwide across South Africa via trusted courier partners.
Delivery fees and estimated transit times are shown at checkout before you pay.
2. Production time
Prints are packed after your order is confirmed. Production typically takes 1–2 working days before your order is handed to the courier.
Production times may vary during peak periods. We will notify you if there is an unexpected delay.
3. Shipping rates (South Africa)
Standard shipping: R99 fixed — 3–5 business days after dispatch (1 business day handling).
Express shipping: R149 fixed — 1–3 business days after dispatch (1 business day handling).
Free shipping: R0 on orders with merchandise subtotal R750.00 or more — same delivery window as standard (3–5 business days after dispatch).
Rates and eligible methods are confirmed at checkout before you pay.
4. Delivery times
After your print is produced (typically 1–2 working days), we hand over to the courier with 1 business day handling time.
Standard and free shipping: 3–5 business days in transit after dispatch.
Express shipping: 1–3 business days in transit after dispatch.
These are estimates only. Actual delivery times may vary due to courier schedules, public holidays, or factors outside our control.
5. Free shipping
Free shipping applies automatically to physical print orders with a merchandise subtotal of R750.00 or more (same 3–5 business day transit as standard shipping).
Orders with a merchandise subtotal exceeding R1,200 qualify for a 10% discount plus free shipping when the threshold is met.
Gift cards and digital products are excluded from free shipping thresholds unless stated otherwise at checkout.
6. Packaging
Prints are carefully packaged for safe transit — rolled or flat-packed with protective packaging depending on size and format.
All orders include tracked delivery so you can follow your parcel once it has been dispatched.
7. Delivery address
Deliveries are made to the physical address or drop box location you provide at checkout.
You are responsible for providing complete and accurate delivery address and contact details, including a reachable phone number for the courier.
We cannot deliver to a PO Box unless your selected courier service explicitly supports it.
8. Failed or delayed delivery
If delivery fails or is delayed due to an incorrect address, incomplete contact information, or customer unavailability at the delivery address, additional redelivery arrangements or costs may apply.
If a parcel is returned to us due to failed delivery, we will contact you to arrange reshipment. Reshipment courier fees may apply.
9. Inspection on arrival
Please inspect your package upon delivery. If a print arrives damaged, notify Schutte Prints as soon as possible — preferably within 48 hours of delivery — along with photographs of both the external packaging and the damaged print.
This helps us process claims with our couriers promptly. Reporting damage does not restrict your statutory rights under the Consumer Protection Act.
For full details on returns, refunds, and defective goods, see our Returns & Refunds Policy.
