2020 Covid-19 Update:
Due to recent international covid-19 import restrictions and various corona inspections, imported orders will take between 4 weeks and 12 weeks to arrive in South Africa! Please contact us (Spy Shop) before placing an order online, to check if there is stock available in South Africa. Unfortunately, if you (the client) order stock which is not readily available to be packaged and sent to you, you are agreeing to wait up to 12 weeks for your order. If you do not wish to wait 12 weeks and would like a refund, you will be charged between 5% and 10% prior to the refund. This refund fee generally covers bank fees, admin fees, paypal fees and if we had already placed the order with our international suppliers, import fees! PLEASE NOTE: we do not make money when you request a refund, but at the same time, we can not lose money in the process!
