Shipping Policy

Everything you need to know about how we ship your pre-ordered items — from supplier to our Ghana warehouse, and finally to your doorstep.

Last Updated: January 2026

1 Shipping Overview

Every pre-order placed on Wendstar Online Shop follows a two-stage shipping journey:

  • Stage 1 — From Supplier to Our Ghana Warehouse: Your item is shipped from our verified international supplier network to our warehouse in Ghana.
  • Stage 2 — From Our Warehouse to You: Once your item arrives in Ghana, we arrange final delivery to your address. This stage carries an additional delivery charge.

Important

The shipping fees you pay at checkout cover Stage 1 only. Final delivery to your door (Stage 2) is a separate, additional charge based on your location in Ghana.

2 Dispatch Timeline

Once your pre-order is confirmed and paid, we begin preparing the shipment. Your item is dispatched from our supplier 2 weeks after your order is placed. This 2-week window allows us to:

  • Verify your order details and payment.
  • Place the order with our verified supplier.
  • Consolidate, inspect, and prepare your item for international dispatch.
  • Provide you with an initial dispatch confirmation.

You will receive an email and SMS confirming the exact dispatch date of your item.

3 Shipping Methods

We offer two shipping methods from our supplier to our Ghana warehouse. Each offers a different balance of speed and cost:

By Flight

1 – 3 Weeks

Faster shipping via air freight. Ideal for customers who want their items quickly. Arrives at our Ghana warehouse within 1 to 3 weeks after dispatch.

By Ship

Up to 3 Months

More economical sea freight. Arrives at our Ghana warehouse within up to 3 months after dispatch. Best for customers who are not in a rush.

Full Estimated Shipping Time (Supplier → Ghana)

By Flight: 2 weeks (dispatch) + 1–3 weeks (transit) = 3 – 5 weeks total
By Ship: 2 weeks (dispatch) + up to 3 months (transit) = up to 14 weeks total

4 Arrival at Our Warehouse

Once your item arrives at our Ghana warehouse, the following happens:

1
Receiving & Inspection

We receive your item and inspect it for any visible damage or discrepancies.

2
You Are Notified

You receive an email and SMS confirming your item has arrived in Ghana and is ready for final delivery.

3
Delivery Fee Confirmation

We confirm your delivery address and quote the exact delivery fee for your location.

4
Final Dispatch

Once the delivery fee is paid, your item is dispatched for final delivery to your door.

5 Final Delivery to You

Final delivery is the last stage of the shipping journey — getting your item from our Ghana warehouse to your doorstep.

  • Delivery is an additional charge. This fee is NOT included in the product price or the shipping fee to our warehouse.
  • Delivery fees vary by location. The exact fee depends on your address (region, city, or area).
  • Payment before dispatch. We require the delivery fee to be paid before dispatching your item to you.
  • Tracking provided. You’ll receive tracking details when your item leaves our warehouse.
  • Delivery timeline: Typically 1 – 5 business days depending on your location within Ghana.

Important Note on Delivery Fees

The shipping fee you paid at checkout covers the cost of getting your item to our Ghana warehouse. It does NOT cover final delivery to your door. Delivery to you is a separate, additional charge based on your location within Ghana. Our team will contact you to confirm the exact amount before dispatch.

6 Shipping & Delivery Fees

We maintain a clear and transparent fee structure. Here’s what you pay and when:

  • Product Price: The cost of the item itself, shown on the product page.
  • Shipping Fee (Stage 1): Paid at checkout. Covers the supplier-to-Ghana-warehouse shipping via Flight or Ship.
  • Delivery Fee (Stage 2): Paid before final dispatch. Covers the warehouse-to-door delivery within Ghana.

Fee Summary

At Checkout: Product + Shipping Fee
Before Delivery: Delivery Fee (communicated based on your location)

All fees are displayed clearly before payment is requested. We never add hidden charges.

7 Tracking Your Order

We keep you informed at every step of the shipping journey. You will receive:

  • Order Confirmation: Immediately after placing your pre-order.
  • Dispatch Confirmation: When your item leaves the supplier (2 weeks after order).
  • Warehouse Arrival Notification: When your item reaches our Ghana warehouse.
  • Delivery Fee Notice: Before we dispatch to your address.
  • Final Delivery Tracking: Once your item leaves our warehouse.

8 Lost, Damaged, or Delayed Shipments

We understand that shipping issues can be frustrating. Here’s how we handle them:

Delays:

  • Delays may occur due to customs, carrier issues, or supplier production schedules.
  • We will notify you immediately if we detect any delay.
  • You will receive an updated estimated delivery date.
