Return/Refund Policy
We offer superb quality and service and take time to ensure that you and the recipient of your gift are happy with the delivery. If you are not sure whether a gift is suitable there is always someone at the end of the line to offer advice or alternatives. Because we take time to source, wrap, decorate and deliver our packages with care, we cannot offer a refund on ill chosen gifts. We are, however, prepared to discuss unique situations with you and if acceptable and void of financial loss to Dial-a-Surprize, we will be happy to replace or refund your gift. If you experience disappointment or incorrect delivery from Dial-a-Surprize we will be happy to discuss your options.

The Dial-a-Surprize website is entirely safe and easy to use and offers the secure communication you expect.
In general, you can visit this shopping site without telling us who you are or revealing any personal information about yourself.

The only use of your information would be to send you our monthly newsletter packed with special offers, gifting ideas and other happy news – if you have opted for it of course. The only other information we will ever disclose to third parties is aggregate information about our users. Aggregate information will never identify you. It only identifies the user population in general terms, i.e. 52% male. The aggregate information would be made available only to our advertisers and partners.
Furthermore, we guarantee the security of your payment and contact details you submit to our shopping basket. When you decide to make a purchase with us, the details you submit will only be used to fulfill your order. Currently, payments are done via EFT and therefore no banking details are made available through cyber space. We also accept VISA and MASTERCARDS telephonically, by email (if you wish), sms or fax. We charge a R45 surcharge for any cash deposits and if international transfers are made we do NOT accept any bank charges – the purchaser is responsible for ALL bank charges. The full amount, void of any bank charges needs to be transferred into our account before we dispatch your gift.
You should be aware that if we are requested by the police or any other regulatory or government authority investigating suspected illegal activities to provide your personal information we are entitled do so.

To Everyone at Dial-a-Surprize, A BIG Thank you for promptness and efficiency with the teddy bear delivery to Blouberg Netcare hospital this morning. I experienced a few hick-ups with the online ordering and decided to call your Cape Town office from Singapore, South East Asia. The lady was very friendly and apologetic and had offered to take my order over the phone immediately. Thank you for the great service that you offer at a very reasonable price too, may I say. You have helped me to make a sick little girl in hospital very, very happy today!! Thank you for the extra balloons & sweets too! I have never used this kind of internet gift service before, but will do so more often from now on. Kind Regards M. Bahr Singapore
