Frequently asked questions

How ordering, subscriptions, payments and delivery work. Can't find your answer? Contact us.

Ordering

Do I need an account to order?

No. You can check out as a guest with just your name, email, phone and address. If you create an account later with the same email, your past orders show up in it automatically.

How do I create an account or log in?

There are no passwords. Enter your email on the Log in page and we'll send you a sign-in link and a one-time code — use either. If it's your first time, that same step creates your account. You can also sign in from the checkout page so your saved details are filled in for you.

Can I buy some things once and subscribe to others?

Yes. Your cart can hold both, and you pay for everything in one checkout. One-off items arrive with your first subscription box.

Subscriptions

How does subscribe and save work?

Choose "Subscribe" on a product and it's delivered automatically every week or every month, usually at a lower price than buying once. All the subscribed items in one checkout share the same schedule.

Why can't I subscribe to some products?

Some products are sold as one-off purchases only — for example, items that are made to order — and a few are available on subscription only. The product page only shows the options that product offers.

How do I cancel my subscription?

Log in, go to My account, and press Cancel on the subscription. You won't be billed again. Any box you've already paid for will still be delivered.

Can I pause, skip a delivery, or change what's in my subscription?

Not online yet. For now, you can cancel and start a new subscription with the items you want, or get in touch and we'll help.

What happens if a product in my subscription is discontinued?

We remove it at your next renewal and email you to let you know — you're never charged for it. If it was the only item in your subscription, the subscription is cancelled and we email you about that too.

Payments

How can I pay?

By card or M-Pesa. Payments are processed securely by Paystack — we never see or store your card details.

How do subscription renewals work?

With a card, your card is charged automatically on each renewal date. With M-Pesa, automatic charging isn't possible, so we email you a payment link two days before each renewal — pay it to keep your box coming.

What if I don't pay an M-Pesa renewal?

Your subscription stays open, but that box isn't sent until it's paid. You can pay any time using the link in the reminder email.

What if my card payment fails?

Your subscription is put on hold and nothing is delivered for that renewal. Get in touch and we'll help you sort it out.

Do prices include VAT?

Yes. All prices shown include VAT where it applies, and the delivery fee is added to your total at checkout before you pay — there are no surprises after.

Delivery

How much is delivery?

It depends on how far you are from our base in Nairobi, measured in a straight line: up to 3km is KES 200, 3–6km is KES 300, 6–9km is KES 400, 9–12km is KES 450, 12–15km is KES 550, 15–20km is KES 650. We don't deliver beyond 20km yet — checkout will tell you if you're outside our area.

Why do I have to pick my address from the suggestions?

Choosing a suggestion lets us pinpoint your location, which is how we work out your delivery fee and make sure our rider can find you.

When will my order arrive?

Delivery times vary by location. We'll contact you on the phone number you gave at checkout to arrange delivery.

Is there a delivery fee on every subscription box?

Yes — each box is a separate delivery. The fee is worked out fresh at each renewal from your delivery address.

How do I change the delivery address for my subscription?

Your subscription is delivered to the address from your most recent checkout. To change it, get in touch and we'll update it for you.

Orders & returns

How do I check on my order?

Use Track Order with the email you checked out with, or log in to see everything in My account.

What if something arrives damaged or wrong?

Contact us within 48 hours of delivery and we'll arrange a replacement or refund.
