FAQ
Where are you located?
We are located in Richards Bay, KwaZulu Natal, South Africa, about 200km from Durban. We are in an area along the coast known as the Elephant coast.
How long does delivery take?
We send all hides out airfreight using privately owned couriers or the post office, depending on your delivery choice. Delivery can take 2- 4 weeks as we do have to apply for a permit and this does take a bit of time. We can send out via a courier of your choice and can obtain a quote for you should you want to go with this option. We do also use the post office for some deliveries.
Where do you obtain your Zebra hides from?
We obtain our hides from various suppliers and game farms. We buy directly from government approved legal culling practices as well as legal hunting farms and game reserves. All hides have been approved by government authorities which carefully monitors these practices.
What documents do you supply with your Zebra hides?
Each country has it own requirements so we will check on what is needed for your country. Generally for most countries what we send is a conservation document which shows the Zebra hide and scientific name, we send a KZN Wildlife permit that shows that the hide can be exported out of South Africa and is legal and then a tanning certificate to show that the hide is treated to international standards and is disease free .
