Frequently Asked Questions

You can find valuable answers to some common questions in this section related to all matters of online shopping.

General

Do you have a catalog?

Currently, we do not have a catalog either in soft or hard copy. New products are being added regularly, almost on a daily basis while discontinued products are also being up-dated regularly making it not practical to have a catalog. Besides, with the product ranges and styles that we are carrying, the product catalog will be too big to download.However, if there is any particular product that you are interested in, please feel free to contact us and we will be happy to help you locate it. Contact Us: https://www.skymartbw.com/contact/

Are these products on your website original?

All our products are Genuine Products. If you have any questions about this, kindly contact our Support Team for further verification. https://www.skymartbw.com/contact/

How do you calculate shipping costs?

Shipping cost is calculated based on the weight and dimension of the product(s) including its packaging. The product shipping weight is sometimes stated on our website page for your convenience. If there are any differences, it is due to shipping agents such as Botswana Post (EMS), DHL, Fedex, who apply volume metric in calculation of parcel weight.Shipping charges are calculated based on the weight of the product(s) including packaging.- For Fedex, DHL, UPS, TNT, USPS (Express/Priority): Rates are charged for every 0.5 kg.Example: for package weight 0.35 kg, it will be rounded up to 0.5 kg.– For Dr. Delivery (within Gaborone only)A flat rate of P25 per package is applied. Example: for package weight 0.65kg, it will be charged P25. Please refer to Shipping and Delivery information page; https://www.skymartbw.com/help/shipping-delivery/
