Question 1

Configure your shipping profiles

Accepted Answer

The main advantages of pre-filled delivery profiles are:

1) NO NEED TO INCORPORATE SHIPPING COSTS INTO YOUR PRICES:

Just enter the product price, with no additional costs!- Use our default ANKA shipping profiles or update them to create your own now. The platform will dynamically modify your prices to reflect the total cost in an attractive way: with a maximum shipping cost of €10 or even free shipping (automatically).

This is called dynamic pricing and is explained in more detail here.

2) NO NEED TO UPDATE OR CREATE SHIPPING PROFILES

Our default "ANKA shipping profiles" are based on DHL prices that we have integrated.
They are updated automatically without the need for you to change them

They cover all destinations in the world, including any remote shipping costs, so you are covered effortlessly.

From the " Shipping" section of the product file, you have the possibility to "edit the profile" (1) or to "create a new shipping profile" (2) - (see image below)

Question 2

Buyer's protection

Accepted Answer

Afrikrea is a trusted third party. When you make a purchase, we hold the funds until you confirm reception of your order (through the rating email sent to you), or a month after its shipping.

Rest assured that if you don’t get your order, we will proceed to a full refund. If need be, we will refund you out of our pocket (it happens in some cases).

We also guarantee full refund of orders returned within 14 days as long as the item is not used or damaged. Returns of custom-made items, underwear and swimwear have to be authorised by the seller first

When returning a product, be sure to provide a tracking number to the seller in the "Purchase" section of the order. Then click on "ship" and enter the tracking number for the returned item. Once this is completed please click "submit" to complete the process of returning your item to the seller. That allows us and the seller to track the package and fully reimburse you.
