Frequently Asked Questions
Trust and Authenticity
How do I know I can trust digiwallets?
We are the longest standing cryptocurrency hardware wallet retailer in South Africa. Since 2017, we have been authorised by Ledger and Trezor to market and sell their products in the country. We are also authorised resellers of Tangem, OneKey, SecuX, COLDCARD, and Flipper.
This can be verified on the reseller pages of the following websites:
Are your hardware wallets authentic and new?
We guarantee our products are 100% authentic and imported directly from the respective manufacturers.
The authenticity of your device will be confirmed each time you connect it to either Ledger Live or Trezor Suite through a cryptographic attestation check.
Why should I buy from digiwallets instead of importing directly?
Importing directly is usually not as great as it seems. Some of the pain points are:
Slow shipping
Expensive shipping fees
Customs delays
Customs duties, taxes and VAT to pay on top of an often inflated customs valuation amount.
Additional clearance fees by the courier
International payment fees charged by the bank
Difficult and expensive returns
We offer products with no surprise fees, fast and free shipping, as well as excellent local support.

Returns and Warranty
Can I return a hardware wallet if I change my mind?
Due to the security-sensitive nature of cryptocurrency hardware wallets, returns may be restricted in certain circumstances.
Returns may not be accepted if:
- the manufacturer’s security seal has been broken
- the device has been initialised or used
- recovery phrases have been generated
Once a hardware wallet has been initialized, it cannot be safely resold as a new device because the security of the device can no longer be guaranteed.
For this reason, customers should contact support before opening a product if they believe a return may be required.
Please see our Returns and Refund Policy for more information.
What warranty do these devices come with?
Ledger hardware wallets typically a 2-year limited manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship.
Trezor hardware wallets include a 2-year manufacturer warranty covering manufacturing defects under normal use.
Flipper products include a 2-year limited manufacturer warranty covering defects in materials or workmanship during normal use.
