Orders are typically processed within 1–3 business days after payment has been confirmed.
Orders placed on weekends or public holidays will begin processing on the next business day.
Processing times may be longer during holidays, promotional events, or periods of unusually high order volume.
Shipping Methods
Afrik Wholesale ships throughout the United States and to select international destinations.
Available shipping options and delivery estimates will be displayed during checkout based on your delivery address.

Shipping of Frozen & Fresh Items
To preserve product quality and food safety, frozen and fresh products are shipped using insulated packaging with ice packs.
Shipping Schedule
Frozen orders placed Monday through Wednesday are generally shipped within 24 hours.
Frozen orders placed Thursday through Sunday will normally ship the following Monday (excluding public holidays).
This schedule helps prevent frozen products from remaining in shipping facilities over the weekend.

Frozen and perishable products are packed in insulated containers designed to maintain safe temperatures for approximately 72 hours under normal shipping conditions.
Although some items may arrive partially thawed, they may still be safe if maintained at appropriate food-safe temperatures during transit.
Customers should refrigerate or freeze all perishable products immediately upon delivery.
