KifTech customer support
How can we help?
Clear answers about products, compatibility, ordering, payment, shipping, tracking, returns, exchanges, refunds and support for KifTech customers in South Africa.
Last reviewed: 25 July 2026
Orders & availability
What product availability means, how KifTech fulfils orders and what to do when you need an order changed.
What does “In Stock • Processed in 0–3 days” mean?
In Stock means the selected product variant is currently available to order. Processed in 0–3 days is the handling period before the order is dispatched.
Orders are processed through KifTech’s fulfilment route, so “In Stock” does not necessarily mean the item is stored at our South African administrative office. After dispatch, the separate estimated transit time is normally 8–14 business days.
Is KifTech a marketplace or the seller responsible for my order?
KifTech is the retailer responsible for the products sold on kiftech.co.za; we are not a marketplace that simply connects you to an unknown third-party seller. KifTech manages the customer relationship, payment, delivery support, approved returns and eligible warranty requests.
Where are KifTech orders fulfilled from?
Orders are processed through KifTech’s fulfilment route and use a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) delivery process before delivery to customers in South Africa. KifTech’s customer support and approved return process are managed locally in South Africa.
When does order processing start?
Our published order cut-off is 2:00 PM SAST. Orders are normally processed and dispatched within 0–3 business days. Processing and shipping operations run from Monday to Friday, excluding public holidays.
An order placed after the cut-off, over a weekend or on a public holiday may begin processing on the next operating day.
How do I know that my order was received?
After a successful checkout, Shopify displays an order confirmation and sends a confirmation to the email address used for the order. Check your spam or promotions folder if it is not visible.
If payment was deducted but no confirmation arrived, contact support with the payer’s name, email address, payment reference and approximate transaction time. Do not send full card or banking credentials.
Can I change or cancel an order after placing it?
Contact us immediately with your order number and the requested change. Our team will confirm what is still possible based on the order’s processing and dispatch status.
Changes or cancellations cannot be assumed until KifTech confirms them. Once an order has been dispatched, any return is handled under the applicable Returns & Refunds terms.
Can I change my delivery address after ordering?
Send the correct physical address to support as soon as possible. We will check whether the address can still be amended. An address change may no longer be possible after dispatch or once the parcel is with the delivery network.
For fastest assistance, include your order number, recipient name, phone number, street address, suburb, city, province and postal code.
Can KifTech source a product that is not listed?
You may send a sourcing request to support@kiftech.co.za. Include the exact brand, model, part number, colour or variant and, where useful, a photo or manufacturer link. We can investigate availability, but sourcing is not guaranteed.
Shipping & tracking
Current shipping information, delivery estimates, tracking and KifTech’s delivery-protection process.
Where does KifTech deliver?
We currently ship to physical addresses within the Republic of South Africa only. We do not ship to P.O. boxes.
Please provide a complete street address and a reachable South African phone number so the delivery network can contact the recipient if necessary.
How much is shipping?
Our current standard shipping information is:
- R49 for qualifying carts below R750.
- Free standard shipping for qualifying carts of R750 or more.
The shipping method or courier, eligibility and fee shown in the cart and confirmed at checkout are authoritative for your order, including after cart, address or discount changes.
Which shipping method or courier is used?
KifTech uses a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) delivery process for all orders. The shipping method or courier available for your order is shown in the cart and confirmed at checkout.
Applicable import duties, import tax and customs fees are included in the amount shown at checkout and handled before delivery.
How long does delivery take?
- Processing before dispatch: 0–3 business days.
- Estimated transit after dispatch: 8–14 business days.
- Total estimated time from order placement: 8–17 business days.
These are estimates rather than guaranteed delivery dates. Use the delivery window displayed for the product or order when you purchased, together with your tracking updates.
What counts as a business day?
Business days are Monday to Friday and exclude public holidays. Weekends and public holidays are not counted in the stated transit window.
Will I have to pay import duties, customs fees or an extra courier charge on delivery?
KifTech uses a Delivered Duty Paid (DDP) delivery process for all orders. Applicable import duties, import tax and customs fees are included in the amount shown at checkout and handled before delivery.
You should not be asked for an additional import or customs payment when the parcel is delivered. Contact KifTech before paying any unexpected customs or import request.
When will I receive tracking information?
A tracking link is emailed after the order has been dispatched. The processing period comes before dispatch, so tracking is not necessarily available immediately after the order is placed.
Check the email address used at checkout, including spam and promotions folders.
Why has my tracking not updated yet?
New tracking records may take 24–48 hours after dispatch to show their first movement. International parcels can also have gaps between scans while moving between facilities or clearing customs.
If there has been no tracking movement for 15 consecutive days after dispatch, contact us with your order number and tracking link so we can investigate under the Shipping Protection process.
Can customs, public holidays or remote locations affect the estimate?
Yes. Customs processing, public holidays, delivery-network backlogs, severe weather, address problems and remote delivery locations can affect an estimated delivery date. We will use the tracking information and available delivery records to assess a reported delay.
What happens if my order arrives after the estimated timeframe?
If your order is delivered later than the estimated timeframe shown when you purchased, you may request a R20 store credit. The delay and eligibility must be verified, and the credit is not issued automatically.
Email support with your order number and delivery date to request review.
What happens if tracking has not moved for 15 consecutive days?
Contact KifTech after 15 consecutive days without a tracking update following dispatch. After verification and investigation, KifTech may offer a free reshipment or refund in accordance with the Shipping Protection Policy.
What happens if my order is not delivered within 30 days after dispatch?
After verification, you may choose a refund to the original payment method or a replacement shipment when the order has not been delivered within 30 days from dispatch, subject to the Shipping Protection Policy.
Provide your order number and tracking details. Protection requests are assessed and are not processed automatically.
My tracking says delivered, but I cannot find the parcel. What should I do?
Check with household members, reception, security, neighbours and any safe place around the address. Then contact the courier shown for your order and notify KifTech promptly.
Send your order number, tracking link, delivery address and any delivery case reference so we can assist with the investigation.
Payments & pricing
Currency, supported checkout methods, instalment estimates and how your final total is determined.
Which currency does KifTech use?
Prices and checkout totals are displayed in South African rand (ZAR).
Which payment methods are accepted?
Supported methods shown at checkout may include Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, American Express, Google Pay, Samsung Pay, Capitec Pay, Instant EFT, Mobicred, Zapper, SnapScan or other scan-to-pay options, RCS, Mukuru Cash and SCode.
Availability can depend on the payment provider, device, customer eligibility and checkout configuration. The options displayed in your checkout are the methods available for that transaction.
Is payment secure?
KifTech’s storefront and checkout use HTTPS encryption. Supported payments are processed through the payment services presented at checkout, including PayFast-supported methods. KifTech does not ask you to email full card numbers, PINs, one-time passwords or online-banking passwords.
How does Mobicred work?
Mobicred is a third-party credit option that may be available at checkout. Any monthly amount shown on a product page is an illustration based on the product price. Approval, the available credit limit, fees, interest, repayment term and final instalment are determined by Mobicred under its own terms.
What is included in the cart or checkout total?
The total reflects the products in your cart, applicable discounts and the shipping fee calculated for the cart. KifTech uses a DDP delivery process for all orders, and applicable import duties, import tax and customs fees are included in the amount shown at checkout and handled before delivery.
Review the checkout total before confirming payment, especially after changing quantities, removing products or applying a discount code.
Why did my discount code not work?
A code may be expired, limited to certain customers or products, subject to a minimum spend, already used, or incompatible with another promotion. The checkout message explains whether the code was accepted.
If you believe a valid advertised code is failing, send support the code, a screenshot of the message and the products in your cart before placing the order.
What should I do if payment failed but my account was charged or authorised?
First check whether you received a KifTech order number and confirmation email. A bank may sometimes show a temporary authorisation even when checkout did not complete.
Contact KifTech and your payment provider with the transaction date, amount and payment reference. Share only the last four digits of a card where necessary—never send a full card number, PIN or one-time password.
Products & compatibility
How to understand compatible products, verify the correct model and get product-selection help before ordering.
Are all products original manufacturer products?
No. KifTech sells selected genuine or branded products as well as compatible, replacement and aftermarket accessories or parts. A product is represented as genuine, original, OEM, authorised or manufacturer-branded only where the relevant listing expressly says so.
Words such as “for”, “compatible with”, “replacement for” or “fits” normally describe intended compatibility and do not mean that the referenced device manufacturer made or endorsed the item.
How do I check whether an accessory or part will fit my device?
Compare the exact manufacturer, model number, generation, size, connector, region or part number in the listing with your device. Similar product names can cover different generations that use different parts.
If you are uncertain, contact us before ordering and send:
- the KifTech product link;
- your device’s exact model or part number;
- the size, year or generation where applicable; and
- clear photos of the device label, connector or existing part where useful.
Can support confirm compatibility for me?
We provide product information and reasonable compatibility guidance based on the listing and available supplier or manufacturer data. The more precise the model information you provide, the more useful the guidance can be.
Please wait for a response before purchasing if compatibility is essential and the listing does not clearly cover your exact model.
What if a specification I need is not shown?
Contact us with the product link and the exact specification you need. We will check the information available from the supplier or manufacturer. Do not assume an unlisted feature, measurement, standard or compatibility point.
May product images or packaging differ slightly?
Manufacturers or suppliers may revise packaging, labels or minor cosmetic details without changing the core product. Screen settings can also affect colour appearance. The delivered product must still correspond materially with the description, selected variant and advertised function.
If you receive the wrong item or a product materially different from the listing, contact us promptly with photos.
Does KifTech provide installation or repair services?
Unless a listing expressly includes installation, products are supplied as goods only. Some replacement parts require specialist tools, technical skill or professional installation. Damage caused by incorrect installation, misuse or an incompatible device is different from a manufacturing fault.
When in doubt, use a qualified technician and follow the relevant manufacturer guidance.
Why are third-party brand names used in product titles or descriptions?
Brand and model references may identify a genuine branded product or describe compatibility, fitment or replacement purpose. Third-party trade marks remain the property of their respective owners and their use does not, by itself, imply affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement.
Read our Intellectual Property Notice for the full explanation and infringement-reporting process.
What kind of technical support can KifTech provide?
We can help with listing information, basic compatibility questions, order-related product issues and the return or warranty process. For device firmware, operating-system faults, manufacturer accounts, complex repair procedures or advanced installation, use the device manufacturer’s documentation or a qualified technician.
Returns, exchanges, refunds & faults
Eligibility, return shipping, local return instructions and the difference between change-of-mind, faulty, damaged and incorrect items.
What is the change-of-mind return period?
You may request a change-of-mind return within 30 days from delivery. The item must be new and unused, with its original tags and packaging.
For an approved change-of-mind return:
- you are responsible for return shipping; and
- a 25% handling fee is deducted from the refund.
Do not send an item before the return is approved and instructions are provided.
Do you offer direct exchanges for a different model, colour, size or variant?
We do not process direct exchanges for change-of-mind returns. Return the eligible original item under the change-of-mind terms and place a new order for the preferred item.
Faulty, damaged or incorrect items may be replaced at no additional shipping cost after review and approval. Applicable rights to a repair, replacement or refund remain unchanged.
What happens if my product has a manufacturing fault?
A manufacturing fault may be reported within six months of delivery. For an approved faulty-item return, KifTech covers the return shipping cost. Under the published policy, you may choose a repair, replacement or full refund, subject to the item being assessed as having a manufacturing fault.
Send the order number, a clear description of the fault, photos and—where useful—a short video showing the issue.
What should I do if the item was visibly damaged in transit?
Inspect the parcel and item when delivered. Notify KifTech of visible transit damage within 48 hours so we can address it promptly with the delivery network.
Keep the packaging and send photos of the outer parcel, shipping label, internal packaging and damaged item. The 48-hour reporting request does not remove the separate six-month protection for a manufacturing fault.
What should I do if I received the wrong item?
Contact us promptly with the order number, a photo of the item received, its packaging and the product or barcode label. Do not use, install or alter the item while the issue is being reviewed.
For an approved incorrect-item return, KifTech provides prepaid return shipping and confirms the appropriate replacement or other available remedy.
How do I start a return?
You can request a return in either of these ways:
- Log in at account.kiftech.co.za and submit the return request.
- Email support@kiftech.co.za with your order number and reason for the return.
For a fault, damage or incorrect item, include photos and any useful video. We aim to respond with the next steps within one business day.
Where do I send an approved return?
Approved returns are processed locally within South Africa. We email the return address and full instructions after the request is reviewed.
Do not send a return to the administrative office, fulfilment centre or any address found elsewhere unless your approval email specifically instructs you to do so. Unapproved returns cannot be processed correctly.
Who pays the return shipping?
- Change of mind: the customer pays the return shipping cost.
- Approved faulty, damaged or incorrect item: KifTech provides prepaid return shipping.
When will my refund be processed?
After an approved return is received and inspected, KifTech processes the refund to the original payment method within 5 calendar days. The time for the funds to appear after processing can depend on the payment provider or bank.
Are gift cards refundable?
No. Gift cards are non-refundable under the published Returns & Refunds Policy.
Is a late or missing delivery handled as a product return?
No. Delivery delays, tracking gaps and non-delivery are reviewed under the Shipping & Delivery Policy and Shipping Protection Policy. A return applies after an item has been delivered and you are sending it back.
What can make a return ineligible as a change-of-mind return?
A change-of-mind return may be declined where the item is used, installed, altered, damaged after delivery, missing original packaging or tags, or requested outside the 30-day period. A separate manufacturing-fault assessment is not the same as change-of-mind eligibility.

How does KifTech protect my personal information?
KifTech explains its collection, use, sharing, retention and security of personal information in the Privacy Policy. Personal information is handled for purposes such as order processing, delivery, customer support, fraud prevention and consent-based marketing.
How can I request access to, correction of or deletion of my personal information?
Email support@kiftech.co.za with the subject POPIA Request. State whether you are requesting access, correction, deletion, objection or another privacy-related action. We may need to verify your identity before acting on the request, and legal or contractual retention requirements may apply.

How do I report suspected intellectual-property infringement?
