Buying our products

www.makotis.co.za and www.makotis.com enables you to shop for products which include clothing, shoes, clothing accessories, fabric, and haberdashery online. Our website also allows you to place an order for Bespoke items or products made to your size and specification. When you have completed an order and payment for the product and delivery costs has been processed, a binding contract between you and Makotis comes into effect. In the unlikely event that we are unable to supply the product on order at the advertised price because stock is sold out, we will contact you to let you know and you will be entitled to a refund at the value that you paid for such product/s. Your order will only become complete once we have received payment and have confirmed the availability of stock. If you confirm an order on the website but do not make payment within 24 hours, this will not be a sale or an order. Please note that payments from some banks may take more than 2 business days to reflect in our account and we will only be able to confirm the order once we can confirm that we have received your payment.
