Customer Service


USPS SHIPPING DELAYS: Due to Covid and an increase in shipping volume due to the holidays, USPS is experiencing delays in package delivery times. I would highly recommend signing up for SMS updates on the USPS website to get text notifications for any updates on you package. 

COVID UPDATE: Afrohemien.com is open 24/7 and orders will still be shipped during this time. However, due to social distancing and for the safety of my family, postal service workers and I, orders will only be shipped out 2x a week. Shipping notifications will be sent via email when your order has shipped. All orders will continue to be shipped out in 14 days. 

 

The Process:

  • You will receive email or SMS confirmation when your order has been received (order confirmation).
  • You will receive shipment confirmation with your tracking # via email or SMS, when your order is complete and being shipped out. 
  • You will receive an out for delivery notification, the day your order is being delivered. 
  • You will receive notification when your order has been delivered.

Production Time:

Each piece is made by hand and made to order, please allow up to 10 business days(Mon-Fri) before your order is shipped. Your order will be made in the order it was received. You will receive an email with your tracking number when your order has shipped.

Should you need an item sooner, feel free to email: Orders@afrohemien.com to see if it is possible to have your order expedited, before you place your order.
