Courier Door-to-Door:

These are door-to-door services. The delivery address must be a physical location (not a post office box), and someone must be available to receive the delivery. A valid contact number is required to help our courier partners reach you. Deliveries are made during business hours from Monday to Friday. Delivery typically takes 2-6 business days after shipment, depending on your location and selected shipping method.

Delivery Exclusions:

We do not deliver via courier to plots, farms, mines, military bases, major chain stores, power stations, game reserves, lodges, airports, or harbours. If your address falls into one of these categories, any additional costs for delivery or returns will be your responsibility.

To ensure successful delivery, the following requirements must be met:

• Correct and Geolocatable Address: The delivery address must be accurate and capable of being geolocated (this means the address can be precisely identified on a map or GPS system). It cannot simply state a general area, such as "we live in this area, please contact us when you are here." The address must refer to a specific physical location, such as a standing house or a unit within a complex.
• Active Contact Number: Provide an active phone number that can receive calls from landlines, mobile phones, and private numbers. This number must belong to the person who placed the order and not a number that is rarely used or belongs to someone else. Couriers need to contact this person directly if necessary during the delivery process.

Should parcels be returned due to an incorrect or incomplete address, an inactive or inaccessible contact number, or the absence of someone to receive the parcel during working hours, you will be liable for the return and redispatch fees.

Should your address fall into what our couriers classify as High-Risk Areas, an additional fee of R60.00 will apply. If delivery to such areas is not feasible, we will contact you to arrange delivery via Pargo or Bob Box.

Failure to meet these requirements may result in delays or additional costs for re-delivery or returns.

Bob Box - Pick-Up Points:

Bob Box offers a secure and convenient smart locker and counter solution, available nationwide. If a Bob Box location is conveniently near you, you’ll be able to choose this option at checkout.

Pargo Click And Collect:

Pargo Click and Collect allows you to pick up your parcel from various retail stores across South Africa, including Clicks, Legit, and Engen Garages, among others.
Simply select a convenient pick-up point at checkout, and you'll receive tracking information, as well as a notification when your parcel is ready for collection, along with a secure one-time password (OTP).

Please note: Shipping time for each product is listed on its product page. For example, "Ships in 3-5 days" means it may take us 3-5 working days to obtain the item from our supplier. The delivery times listed above apply after the item is shipped to you.
