A little more reassurance
Questions before you send?
Here is what to know about ordering for someone back home.
Contact supportWho can order with Sawghat?
Sawghat is for shoppers outside Afghanistan sending goods to family in Afghanistan. You can browse before signing in. Checkout requires an account with a verified email and checks your location and payment eligibility.
Does my family need an account?
No. Add their name, Afghan mobile number and delivery address as a recipient at checkout. Their phone number is used for delivery updates and the confirmation code.
Can you deliver to my family’s area?
Availability depends on the province, district and current service coverage. Add your family’s address at checkout to check whether it can be served. A general city list cannot confirm an individual address.
What is included in the price?
Package and item cards show the goods price in US dollars, with an approximate afghani reference. Delivery is added once per order at checkout. Review the full breakdown before paying.
How do I pay?
Pay by card in US dollars through checkout. Your location and card must be eligible; cards issued in Afghanistan are not accepted. Your bank may apply its own currency conversion or charges.
How long will delivery take?
Timing depends on your recipient’s address, the available delivery service and the items you choose. When a delivery estimate is available, it appears with your checkout total. Follow progress from your order page after placing the order.
How will I know the order arrived?
Your family receives a code to confirm delivery. Delivery confirmation and a delivery photo, when available, can be viewed from your order page.
What happens if an item cannot be supplied?
At checkout you choose what happens if we can't get an item: refund just that item, or cancel the whole order. A refund appears on your order page and goes back to the card used to pay.
