Cookies
A cookie is a small amount of information that’s downloaded to your computer or device when you visit our Site. We use a number of different cookies, including functional, performance, advertising, and social media or content cookies. Cookies make your browsing experience better by allowing the website to remember your actions and preferences (such as login and region selection). This means you don’t have to re-enter this information each time you return to the site or browse from one page to another. Cookies also provide information on how people use the website, for instance whether it’s their first time visiting or if they are a frequent visitor.
The length of time that a cookie remains on your computer or mobile device depends on whether it is a “persistent” or “session” cookie. Session cookies last until you stop browsing and persistent cookies last until they expire or are deleted. Most of the cookies we use are persistent and will expire between 30 minutes and two years from the date they are downloaded to your device.
You can control and manage cookies in various ways. Please keep in mind that removing or blocking cookies can negatively impact your user experience and parts of our website may no longer be fully accessible.
Most browsers automatically accept cookies, but you can choose whether or not to accept cookies through your browser controls, often found in your browser’s “Tools” or “Preferences” menu. For more information on how to modify your browser settings or how to block, manage or filter cookies can be found in your browser’s help file or through such sites as www.allaboutcookies.org.
Additionally, please note that blocking cookies may not completely prevent how we share information with third parties such as our advertising partners. To exercise your rights or opt-out of certain uses of your information by these parties, please follow the instructions in the “Behavioural Advertising” section above.

After your payment has been verified you will receive an email confirming that your order is being processed. We take between 2-5 working days to ship out products that are in stock and readymade. Products that are made-to-measure (custom sized) and need to be manufactured take between 7-10 working days before they are shipped out. When your order has been shipped, our courier partner will communicate with you regarding delivery and we will also provide you with a shipment tracking number for you to track shipment updates on your own. Please note: 'readymade size' does not mean the product is in stock.
Shipping costs will be shown at checkout. Our standard rate is R60 for Gauteng and R159 for all other provinces. Please note however that shipping costs can vary depending on the product size. Over sized products such as long poles and large beds will incur additional shipping costs.
Sure! So long as your order has not been shipped already, please send us the new shipping details ASAP and we can get this changed for you. Email us at sales@matoc.co.za
Please note: We cannot redirect or retrieve orders successfully delivered to an incorrect address. So, please ensure you carefully check your address details entered at checkout.
We have a 30-day return policy, which means you have 30 days after receiving your item to request a return.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or a proof of purchase.
PLEASE NOTE: custom-sized, made-to-measure, and customised items are not eligible for return unless in the event of damage/fault.
To start a return, you can contact us at sales@matoc.co.za. If your return is accepted we'll send you instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted. Returns arranged by us will incur a courier charge.
Please also read our Refund Policy for more information.
We take pride in offering customized solutions tailored to your needs. However, please note that items such as custom-sized products or those cut to a specific order are not eligible for return unless in the event of damage. This includes all fabrics, custom sized curtains, blinds, curtain rails, and curtain rods. We strive to ensure your satisfaction with every purchase, so we encourage you to review product details carefully before placing your order. Should you have any inquiries regarding a specific item, our dedicated customer service team is here to assist you.

Unfortunately due to the diverse range of sizes we offer it is not possible to have all sizes in stock for each product. This means that readymade sized items may require production at our factory along with our made-to-measure (custom sized) items and will require a lead time of 7-10 working days.
We understand that each of our customers have different size requirements and that there is a price difference between made-to-measure (custom sized) items and readymade sized items. We have thus ensured that we kept readymade sized items as affordable as possible and they will also be eligible for return as per our 30 day return policy. Please refer to our return policy for returns and courier charges.
While we strive to accurately represent our products' colors in the images provided, please be aware that due to variations in monitor settings and lighting conditions, the colors you see on your screen may differ slightly from the actual product. We make every effort to ensure that the colors depicted are as close to the true product colors as possible, but slight discrepancies may occur. Rest assured, we are committed to delivering high-quality products, and we appreciate your understanding regarding any potential variations in color representation.
