Terms & Conditions
The rules that apply when you place a pre-order with PreKart.
1. About PreKart
PreKart is a pre-order service operating in the Maldives. We source products on your behalf from overseas suppliers, handle international shipping and customs clearance, and deliver to you in Malé, Hulhumalé or to your boat for onward island delivery.
By placing an order you confirm you are at least 18 years old and that the details you give us are accurate.
2. Pre-order model
Every item on PreKart is a pre-order. Nothing is held in a warehouse in the Maldives at the time you order. You pay a 50% advance payment to confirm the order, and the remaining 50% balance when the item is delivered to you.
Stock figures shown on the site reflect what our suppliers have available at the time of listing. If an item becomes unavailable after you order, we will contact you and refund your advance payment in full.
3. Pricing
All prices are shown in Maldivian Rufiyaa (MVR) and include the item, international shipping, customs duty and our service fee. There are no additional charges added at delivery.
The price is fixed at the moment your order is confirmed. Currency movement, freight increases or duty changes after that point are absorbed by us and will not be passed on to you.
4. Delivery timeline
Our standard timeline is approximately 50 days from order confirmation to delivery. This is an estimate, not a guarantee. Shipping delays, customs inspections and supplier production times can extend it.
If your order will be materially delayed beyond the estimate, we will notify you and you may choose to wait or cancel for a full refund of your advance payment.
5. Payment
The 50% advance payment is payable by bank transfer at the time of ordering. Your order is confirmed once we have verified the transfer. Card payment will be added in future.
The 50% balance is due on delivery. We cannot release goods before the balance is settled.
6. Damage and defects
If an item arrives damaged or defective, tell us within 48 hours of delivery with photographs. We will replace the item or refund you in full, including any amount already paid.
This covers transit damage and manufacturing defects. It does not cover damage caused after delivery.
7. Delivery notice and collection
When your item arrives we notify you by your registered mobile number and in your PreKart account. Please accept delivery within 1 day. Storage charges apply for each extra day. If you need more time, contact us and we will help arrange it.
If we receive no response within 5 days, PreKart reserves the right to resell the item, and the customer will receive 50% of the advance payment.
8. Checking your item
Please inspect your product at the time of delivery. Once delivered, items cannot be returned.
9. Address changes
Please notify PreKart of any change to your delivery address. If your address is invalid and we are unable to reach you, PreKart reserves the right to resell the item.
10. Sourced items
Where you ask us to source an item from a photograph, we will provide a written quote before any payment is taken. The quote is based on the supplier listing available at that time and is valid for 7 days.
Colour, finish and minor specification differences between the photo you send and the item sourced are possible. We will confirm the exact listing with you before ordering.
11. Liability
Our liability in respect of any order is limited to the total amount you have paid for that order. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including loss of use or delay-related costs.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Maldives, and the courts of the Maldives have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute.
For any issue or question, our team is always ready to help — contact us by mobile or WhatsApp.
