Shipping & Delivery Policy
Last Updated: August 2026
At Sophix Natural, we are committed to making the delivery of your raw materials as convenient and reliable as possible. We ship orders within Nigeria and internationally through selected logistics, transport and shipping partners.
This Shipping & Delivery Policy explains how we process, dispatch and deliver orders placed through Sophix Natural.
1. ORDER PROCESSING
Orders are processed after successful payment confirmation.
Shipping and delivery timelines begin from the time your order is processed and dispatched from our office, except where otherwise stated in this policy.
Orders may require additional processing time where:
A product requires special sourcing.
The order contains a pre-order item.
Additional payment or shipping information is required.
The order requires special packaging or handling.
There are circumstances affecting product availability.
Where applicable, customers will be informed of any significant processing delays.
Customers are responsible for ensuring that their delivery information is accurate before completing an order, including:
Full name
Phone number
Delivery address
City and state
Preferred delivery location
Any relevant delivery instructions
2. SHIPPING CHARGES
Shipping prices displayed on our website are generally calculated based on one carton/package.
Where an order exceeds one carton/package or requires multiple packages, additional shipping charges may apply.
The final shipping cost may depend on:
Number of cartons/packages
Weight and dimensions
Destination
Shipping method
Logistics or transport provider
International shipping requirements
Special handling requirements
Where additional shipping charges are required, Sophix Natural may contact the customer for payment and confirmation before dispatch.
An order may be held from dispatch until any required additional shipping payment has been received.
3. DELIVERY WITHIN LAGOS
Lagos Delivery
For orders placed and successfully paid for on or before 4:00 PM, we aim to deliver within 24 hours (next-day delivery).
Orders placed or paid for after 4:00 PM may be processed on the next business day, and the applicable delivery timeline will begin from dispatch.
Delivery timelines may vary depending on the destination, logistics provider, traffic conditions, weather and other circumstances beyond our reasonable control.
Office Pickup
Customers may choose to pick up their orders from our office on the same business day, provided that:
The order is placed on or before 4:00 PM; and
Payment has been successfully confirmed.
Orders placed or paid for after 4:00 PM may be processed for pickup on the next business day.
Customers selecting office pickup will be notified when their order is ready for collection.
4. SHIPPING THROUGH TRANSPORT PARKS
Where customers choose to have their orders sent through a transport park or transport operator:
Orders will generally be dispatched within 24 hours after successful payment confirmation.
The customer will be responsible for collecting the package from the designated park or transport location unless otherwise agreed.
The customer may be required to provide valid identification or other information required by the transport operator.
The actual transit time after the package leaves our office depends on the transport operator and destination.
Sophix Natural is not responsible for delays caused by the transport operator after the package has been handed over for transportation, although we will make reasonable efforts to assist customers in resolving delivery issues.

If an international shipment is delayed, refused, returned or confiscated because the customer has not met the destination country’s import requirements, Sophix Natural may not be responsible for resulting losses or additional charges.
8. DELIVERY DELAYS

9. CUSTOMER DELIVERY INFORMATION
Customers are responsible for providing accurate and complete delivery information.
Sophix Natural will not be responsible for delays, failed deliveries, additional delivery charges or returned shipments resulting from incorrect, incomplete or outdated information provided by the customer.
Where a logistics provider charges an additional fee because of a failed delivery caused by incorrect customer information, the customer may be responsible for the additional charge.
10. DAMAGED, INCOMPLETE OR INCORRECT ORDERS
Customers should inspect their orders as soon as reasonably possible after receipt.
If an order arrives:

Customers should provide:
Order number
Description of the issue

Any relevant information provided by the logistics provider
Where possible, customers should retain the original packaging until the matter has been investigated.
Sophix Natural will assess the issue and, where appropriate, work with the relevant logistics or shipping provider to determine the appropriate resolution.
11. MISSING OR UNDELIVERED ORDERS
If your order has not arrived within the applicable estimated delivery period, please contact us with your order number.
We may contact the relevant logistics, transport or shipping provider to investigate the status of the shipment.
Delivery investigations may require additional time depending on the logistics provider and circumstances of the shipment.
12. DELIVERY CONFIRMATION
A shipment may be considered delivered when the relevant logistics, transport or shipping provider records the package as delivered to the provided delivery address, designated pickup location or authorised recipient.
Customers should ensure that someone is available to receive the order where required.
13. SPECIAL, BULK AND CUSTOM ORDERS
Large-volume orders, specially sourced ingredients, pre-orders and orders requiring custom packaging may have different processing and delivery timelines.
Where applicable, Sophix Natural will communicate the expected timeline before or during order processing.
14. DELIVERY ESTIMATES
All delivery timelines stated in this policy are estimates.
The stated timelines begin from dispatch, unless a specific section of this policy expressly states otherwise.
A delay beyond an estimated delivery period does not automatically constitute a failure to fulfil an order, provided Sophix Natural is taking reasonable steps to process and facilitate delivery.
