At mDuka we strive to offer you the best service, from product accuracy to timely delivery. Our goal is to perfectly fulfill all of your orders. Unfortunately given the nature of the business and our reliance on an unpredictable value chain that is beyond our control, some items may actually be out of stock. In order to handle the complex dynamics, we have developed a substitution system in order for you to be able to choose the substitute products yourself and minimize unpleasant surprises at your doorstep. After your order is assigned from the delivery personnel and if it falls under substitution mode, you will receive a notification initiating the substitution procedure. From this moment on you will have a limited amount of time to review the substitutes and make your choice. The shop will receive the updated order and initiate the gathering of the products. Please take into consideration that the overall price will also be updated accordingly. In case you do not respond to the substitution request, we will make reasonable effort to contact you before dispatching the order to agree on substitutes. In the case that we are unable to reach you that product may be removed from the order and its price will be deducted from the overall amount.
