delivery & tracking
How long will my order take to arrive?
All orders are dispatched, unless otherwise stated, within one working day of receiving payment confirmation.
Standard delivery is completed within 2-4 working days depending on the order’s destination and express delivery takes 1-2 working days.
If your order is placed after 12h00 and you request express delivery, the order will only be sent out the following working day.
Deliveries are made Monday to Friday between 8h00 and 18h00. There are no deliveries on weekends or public holidays.
Please note that the lead times shown below are the best-case scenarios. We do our best to dispatch orders made before 12h00 on the same day and we rely on the couriers not experiencing delays themselves, but we cannot guarantee the lead times, keep in mind that they are merely estimates. Please add one working day to the lead times to be safe.
What is the cost of delivery?
does iamtrend deliver internationally?
Currently, we only deliver within South Africa.
How can I track my order?
If your order was placed before 12h00, your tracking number will be sent via email by close of business. If your order was placed after 12h00, your tracking number will be sent via email the following working day. You can track your order on our website’s designated tracking page.
Please keep in mind that it takes 24 hours for the tracking number to reflect on the courier’s system.
What happens when no one is at home when delivery is attempted?
Courier deliveries are made Monday to Friday 8h00 to 18h00, so you should always provide a delivery address where someone will be available to sign for the delivery during these times.
If no one is unavailable at the time of delivery you will receive an SMS saying that delivery was attempted, and the courier will contact you via telephone to reschedule the delivery for another date & time.
Three delivery attempts will be made to deliver the parcel. If on the third attempt, no one is available, the parcel will be returned to iamtrend. iamtrend will then contact you to resolve the issue, at this stage you may be liable for any additional delivery costs that may have been incurred.
Product
Can your clear lens frames be fitted with my prescription lenses?
Yes, however, only selected collections. However, it does also depend on your optometrist. We have tested all our clear lens frames (blue light) and all are suitable for prescription lenses to be fitted in them by a certified optometrist. Fitting your prescription lenses into iamtrend frames are done so at your own risk. We recommend phoning your optometrist beforehand to see if they have experience in fitting frames similar to ours.
Do your clear lens frames have screws that my optometrist can use to fit my lenses?
Some of our clear lens frames do have screws and some do not. Regardless, we have been able to fit lenses into the frames with or without screws. The screws aren’t necessary to fit prescription lenses. However, some optometrists are not able to fit the lenses without the screws. It’s best to phone your optometrist to see if they have experience in fitting frames without screws.
Are your sunglasses polarized or UV protected?
We stock both UV400-protected and polarized-protected sunglasses. To find out the lens treatment simply click on the product details on the product page.
Is there a sizing guide for selecting the right frame?
Yes, you can follow our curated process finding your face shape and size here.

Payflex – receive your eyewear now and pay later in 4 interest-free installments.

What is the security code that Payfast asks for?
When paying via Payfast it will prompt you for a security code, this is a code you get from your bank which you use when you make an online payment. A credit card isn’t always necessary as most banks give the option to activate online transactions on your debit card. This feature is something that has to be set up in the bank or on your online banking.
